What started as a 12-stool diner in Gallipolis, Ohio, in 1948 is now a 500-store chain spread throughout 18 states. That’s why Bob Evans celebrates its history annually during the Bob Evans Farm Festival, slated this year for Oct. 11-13 in Rio Grande, southeast of Columbus.
It’s a weekend of family fun, crafts, farm contests, live music and, of course, food, featuring fall favorites like bean soup, kettle corn, apple dumpling, ice cream, cheese, cider and much more. You can ride a Ferris wheel, enjoy live performances and shows and see demonstrations of farm life. Watch above for skydivers.
