The Utica Sertoma, La Sertoma, and two Serteen clubs along with many others volunteer their time to put on this festival.

The festival is held one mile south of Utica and nine miles north of Newark, on state route 13, on the grounds of Energy Cooperative and Velvet Ice Cream Co. The weekend is fun filled and entertaining for the entire family. Over 90 artisans from Ohio and other states exhibit their handcrafted items. Pony rides, antique gas engines, sheep herding by border collies, a car show, motorcycle show and a magic show are just some of the many things to do and see. Lots of contests including ice cream eating, balloon toss, egg toss (all weekend long) and kiddie tractor pulls on Sunday. We have a general store, ice cream tent, ham and bean tent, bratwurst stand, and other delicious foods along with stage entertainment. The highlight of the first day will be the parade in the village of Utica followed by the crowning of the Festival Queen on the stage on the Festival grounds. Tour bus and handicapped parking is avalible. Shuttle service will be availible from the parking lot to the festival entrance. Admission is $5 per car. Hope to see you there !

The Hartford Independent Agricultural Society, or better known as the "Hartford Fair" is located in the Northwest corner of Licking County. It is a unique fair in comparison to other Ohio fairs. It incorporates directors from Licking County and two neighboring counties, Delaware and Knox. Because Licking County does not have a County fair, the Junior Fair includes exhibitors from all of Licking Co. and portions of Delaware and Knox Counties.
