Ox roast: a family affair

Every 4th of July weekend there is an ox roast on the "Commons" in the little town of Mesopotamia, Ohio. Mespo is located in the heart of Amish country, making this celebration of our Independence Day a culturally diverse event. Our family first attended 27 years ago, and now it is one of our annual traditions. The ox roast and flea market are family fare...and not just for our family. I snapped lots of pictures and chose this one for my blip because it represents the event so well. Check the links below for previous ox roast blips.
