While for the vendors they will be receiving a water color painting done by local artist, Donna L. Gibson. At the booths the there will be booklets and maps available. These booklets and maps will describe each of the sites you will visit and its history.

This Bellbrook Historical Society Tour will be the first walking tour of the beautiful downtown area. It will feature all the history and stories that the Bellbrook area has in developing its city. With this tour the Bellbrook Historical Society hopes that the public will learn more about its history and the funds earned will help preserve the Bellbrook history.

The Sugar Maple Festival will also feature different activities that children from all ages will be able to join and have fun. For this year there will be new activities like the dinosaur dig, fish pond, Plinko, Lucky Key Game, and a Tatoo Parlor. But the old time favorites will still be there like the hula hoop and jump rope contests.
