Plan to attend the largest, three-day fair in Northern Portage County where you’ll enjoy delicious food and find family fun for all ages. Held the third full weekend in July on the grounds of St. Joseph Parish, the Ox Roast Fair was started in 1964 by Fr. Hughes) to help pay for the new school at that time. The Ox Roast Fair now directly supports the educational and sacramental ministries of St. Joseph Parish. Come out & enjoy this wonderful community event. Not your typical church festival!
