It's the weekend and there are lots of festivals to choose from in Ohio! According to Spaw's calendar there is:
Jackson Co. Apple Festival
September 19 - 23, 2006 Jackson, Ohio
Barnesville Pumpkin Festival
September 21 - 24, 2006 Barnesville, Ohio
Geneva Area Grape Jamboree
September 23 - 24, 2006 Geneva, Ohio
Germantown Pretzel Festival
September 23 - 24, 2006 Germantown, Ohio

I like the sound of the pretzel festival but it's a long way from Sydney, I would have to tie myself up in knots to make it in time.
