Portsmouth, OH takes on a western feel during the Roy Rogers Festival held in downtown Portsmouth.
Cowboy & Cowgirl enthusiasts gather for a few days for memorabilia, celebrities and alot of western fun. It's like a family reunion each year. You can have lunch with western stars and top off the fun-filled days with a grand banquet.
Roy Rogers lived on Duck Run, in nearby McDermott, OH for a period of his youth and attended what was then McDermott High School. His boyhood home is privately owned now and no longer open for tours, but there's a nice historical marker in front of the home where you may take some great photos or video to capture the moments.
The Roy Rogers Hometown Memorabilia Exhibit, housed in the basement of the Portsmouth Post Office, exhibits posters, magazines, albums and photographs related to the life and times of this cowboy legend and Portsmouth-area native. |
This year, we will be celebrating our 25th Anniversary. As always, the Roy Rogers Festival is held the first weekend in June. Our festival is June 4-7, 2008 at the Ramada Inn in downtown Portsmouth, OH with an Early-Bird Reception on Wednesday evening, June 4th. There will be Stars, Special Guests, Musical Entertainers each evening in the Hospitality Center; plus Special Guest Entertainment. We'll be showing B-Western movies on the big screen daily. We'll be taking a special tour out to Roy Rogers' boyhood home. A special Western Music Performance has been scheduled. The annual Costume Contest will bring many characters out of the old west, and in American History (fictional or live), to this year's festival. Collectors and Dealers will be here to offer their goods and wares in the memorabilia room. You and your family will have a grand time! You'll be taken back to those wondrous days of yesteryear when cowboys were king and the good guys rode off into the sunset. You will enjoy visiting with the Stars and Special Guests that grace our festival with their presence!
As plans and events become known, they will be added to the website. Stars, Special Guests and Entertainers will be added when their confirmations become available. Please check the Guest Stars & Entertainers and our Coming Attractions pages regularly for updates.
So get those saddles shined, your spurs a'spinnin', and have your cowboy hat ready to hit the dusty trail with your "Trigger" towards Portsmouth, OH for the 2008 Annual Roy Rogers Festival.
