The Wienerfest

Photo by Jerry Martin/The Daily Standard

The most popular body art on Saturday was a wiener on the thigh. The new-look Wienerfest took over the Goat Hill in Yorkshire Friday and Saturday as hundreds from the local community got together for wieners, beer, games, camping and live music. Over 3,500 wieners from Winner's Meats were served as the Goat Farmers Inc. raised money for the Special Olympics of Darke and Mercer counties. The event also served as a 50th anniversary celebration of the clubhouse on Goat Hill, which was commemorated by a gathering of past and present members of the Goat Farmers.
