No Unhooking required to take advantage of this great tour directly following the International Rally! We will continue our Southern Ohio adventure with the Bob Evans Farm Festival. We will stay at the Ross County Fairgrounds and have bus transportation to the Bob Evans Farm Complex for two days of country style activities and fun! Bob Evans began making sausage on his southeastern Ohio farm in Rio Grande, Ohio. At first, Bob served samples of sausage to his guests in the Homestead kitchen. As more people came, the company opened a little sausage shop on the farm to better serve them. The Sausage Shop, which is now a Bob Evans Restaurant, was the company's first venture into the business. Bob Evans lived on the farm for nearly 20 years. He and his wife, Jewell, raised their six children in the large, brick farmhouse known as the Homestead. Now on the National Register of Historic Places, the Homestead was once a stagecoach stop and inn so the spirit of hospitality is deeply embedded in the companyıs history. Today you can visit the original Bob Evans Restaurant and experience the traditions of an all-American farming community. Hay, corn, sorghum, wheat and tobacco are grown on this nearly 1,000-acre working farm. You can also see barnyard animals, more than 40 horses and nearly 100 cattle. The Bob Evans Craft Barn features fine folk art and the work of more than 50 award-winning craftspeople. Tours, entertainment, children's activities and many other activities are held daily during the visiting season. From crafts to hiking and camping, the Bob Evans Farm features fun for the whole family.
