UNION CITY — With the summer sun a-blazin’ Saturday afternoon, the Stateline Heritage Days Grand Parade was celebrated with fanfare and style, with a colorful train of floats, music, trucks, tractors, equipment, firetrucks and police cars — and a whole lot of flying candy tossed to an enthusiastic crowd. This year’s Stateline Heritage Days Parade Grand Marshal was the Union City (Indiana) Rotary Club. This year’s Stateline Heritage Days Farmers of the Year 2021 were John Prescott, Sr. and Troy Prescott.
Stateline Heritage Days, a family friendly annual community festival held in Union City, Ohio and Union City, Indiana, featured free live entertainment every night, including music by Dyslexic Funk, Justified, Sweet Beats, Vintage ‘3, and the Bulldogs, and melodrama, featuring the Randy Players, with an open-market with food vendors, artisan crafts, and more.
The festival also hosted a BMX Stunt Show on Friday evening, featuring Dialed Action Sports of Lincoln Park (NJ), which was sponsored by Frank Miller Lumber and the City of Union City, Indiana. D & R Race Car Museum, located at 205 S. Division Street, in Union City, Ohio, was also open from 5 to 9 p.m.
Several contests were sponsored by local businesses, including the the Root Beer Guzzling Contest, sponsored by Freedom’s A & W, located at 800 E. Elm Street in Union City, Ohio. All contestants ice cream and cash prizes at the root beer stand, and a fun time was had by all. Chicketti Family Amusements provided rides throughout the three-day event at Railroad Park.
Stateline Heritage Days Community Festival is a registered non-profit, 501 (c)(3) organization that relies on the donations, vendor fees, and fundraisers.
