Knox County Ohio Courthouse Clock Tower Photo

by Sam Miller

The Knox County Ohio Courthouse Clock Tower is one of the many gorgeous attractions that is located in Mount Vernon, Ohio on historic East High Street.  If you ever have a free afternoon you might consider taking a walk from the Mount Vernon Public Square and head east on High Street through the historical district.  Be sure to bring your camera because you won't believe your eyes because this street is filled with amazing architecture including homes that were built in the late 1800's and early 1900's.  This photo was taken by Sam Miller of REMAX Stars Realty 740-397-7800.  Knox County Ohio Real Estate

On the edge of Mount Vernon, Ohio on Yauger Road you will find the Wolf Run Dog Park.  This is a really nice fenced dog park and Wolf Run is a great place for your dog to run and play freely.  We have taken our dog Chase to Wolf Run and he loves the wide open space so that he can run and he especially likes the lower and outer edge of the fenced area because there are trees and a nice wooded area.  If you are unfamiliar with exactly where Wolf Run Dog Park is located less than a mile from the corner / intersection of Yauger Road and Upper Gilchrist Road which is right by the Mount Vernon Ohio UEC Movie Theatre on the east side of Mount Vernon.  This feature article is part of our ongoing series titled 365 Things To Do in Knox County Ohio by Sam Miller.

The Knox County Ohio Fair Week is an exciting time for those who live within or near our community because every day at the fair they feature something fun and entertaining rancing from truck pulls, tractor pulls, harness racing, tough trucks, a musical concern and many other exciting event.  Today we are featuring two unique types of racing that you may have never experienced before.  The first is lawn mower racing where racers use their modified garden tractors and these things fly.  The second type of racing is the School Bus Races.  When I first saw these full size school buses on the track I just shook my head because it became immediately obvious that these buses are going to banging into each other and they sure do and the spetactors go wild.  If you have never seen a school bus flip over onto it's side be sure to watch the entire video because the figure 8 race towards the end of the video is flat out crazy.

2011 Mount Vernon Ohio Fireworks Video

by Sam Miller


  
The Mount Vernon Ohio 4th of July Fireworks Celebration tonight was a seriously impressive event.  The fireworks display featured more than 20 minutes of non stop explosions with colorful light up the sky style excitement.  In my opinion the fireworks this year actually exceeded last years event and last year was pretty awesome especially for a small community.  I created a 10 minute video highlight reel of tonights fireworks and I hope you enjoy watching it.

 

WACO BiPlane by Sam Miller

Mount Vernon Ohio was the location once again for the Waco Biplane Reunion.  The event takes place on Granville Road just on the outer edge of Mount Vernon at the Wyncoop property near Blackjack Road.  For years the Waco planes have visited Knox County Ohio and it is a wonderful event to experience for people of all ages.  This event has a relaxed air show feeling except that it really isn't an official air show from what I have read and have been told.  It is a very relaxed gathering with no set schedules and people are continually flying in and out pretty much whenever they want.   I live just a couple of minutes from where the event is held and it is awesome to see these amazing planes flying over.  What is more amazing is to watch the expression on the faces of small children as they see and hear these airplanes.   

Waco BiPlane by Sam Miller

Saturday evening I stopped into the Ice Cream Station for a quick bite to eat and I had an opportunity to talk with a group who flew in for the event.  It was an awesome experience to listen to them share stories and I could actually feel their passion and their love for their airplanes and the friendships they had created because of their beloved planes.  What was even more obvious is that this gathering / event was as much about connecting and reconnecting with with other like minded people as it was as much about their airplanes.  If everyone in America was as passionate about life as this group was the world would be an even better place.  If you haven't experienced a Waco fly in Mount Vernon I hope you will take a minute and watch the short video I have included below.  I hope you enjoy it!
