May Day 2020 was not to
be, thanks to the COVID-19
pandemic, but things came
back with a swing this past
Saturday, almost a month
later but no less fun.
May Day 2021 kicked off
with a return of the annual
Owingsville Fire Depart-
ment Pancake Breakfast,
held this year at the Fire
Station.
Fifteen vendors set up
downtown around the old
Courthouse, and the Bath
County' History Museum
opened its doors to the
public to a good turnout
There were several food
vendors, including the
Bath County Cattlemen’s
Association and the Bath
Lodge #55.
Fun and games got un-
der way around noon, with
Owingsville Trade Days or-
ganizer Ian Corbin hosting
several contests, including
Closest to the Hole corn-
hole, a Pool Noodle Toss
and Ale -8 Chugging Con-
tests, and the return of of
the long-awaited Outhouse
Races, with youth taking
the Championship, the
' Bath County High School
Football Team.
The Parade got started
at 1 pm, led by a 1948
Ford KSP Cruiser, driven
by Trooper Scott Ferrell,
and the City of Owingsville
first fire truck, a 193ZREO
Sp ed Wagon, by
To and Judy Byron and
restored and driven by Joe
Mile and Marley Clark of
Bath County Motor Ser-
vice. .
This year’s Grand Mar-
shall was William Reed,
and all the contestants for
the Miss Bath County Pag-
eant were escorted. Fire
trucks from all the county’s
fire departments, side-by-
sides, motorcycles, and a
horse and rider also took
part.
