From PEMBERVILLE 150TH/AMERICA 250TH ANNIVERSARY COMMITTEE
Pemberville is gearing up for a milestone celebration as the community honors both its 150th anniversary and the nation’s 250th anniversary with a day of festivities on Sunday, June 7, at Pemberville Memorial Park. The event, themed as a “Farm and Field” celebration, blends history, hometown pride, and small-town fun.
The day will begin at 10 a.m. with an antique tractor show hosted by the Power of Yesteryear Club. The display will be set up north of the American Legion, giving visitors a chance to admire restored machines that once powered local farms and families.
Starting at 11 a.m., attendees can enjoy food prepared by the Freedom Unit 183 American Legion Auxiliary, served at the Legion Hall. The auxiliary is known for its hearty, homemade offerings, making this a highlight for anyone arriving hungry.
At 1 p.m., the celebration will shift to the ballfield for a vintage baseball game in Pemberville Memorial Park. Spectators can expect old-style uniforms, classic rules, and a spirited nod to America’s pastime.
The day will conclude with a tractor parade beginning at 3 p.m. at the Legion Hall. From there, the parade will roll through town and into downtown Pemberville, offering a finale that blends community heritage with local pride.
From tractors to baseball to great food, the Farm and Field event aims to be a wonderful way for residents and visitors to celebrate two major anniversaries in one day.
