This weekend’s Egg-N-Fest held in West Unity bought families, friends and new traditions back to the Village of West Unity.
The weekend long festivities kicked off Friday with fun activities, chicken BBQ and a live concert.
A parade through the downtown kicked off the Saturday fun. The West Unity Chamber made the day even MORE egg-citing with an egg hunt in search of 4 golden tickets hidden inside plastic eggs that were given away at the parade for a chance to win a bike sponsored by A2Z Towing.
A sun-filled fun day of parade, rib-off contest, live music, strong man contest, car show and flea market made its mark in West Unity town.
