Portsmouth, OH takes on a western feel during the annual 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.




2011 will mark the 28th year for our annual event. As always, our festival is held the first weekend in June, but the year 2011 will be slightly different. Our 2011 Roy Rogers Festival "dates are," TBA. The host hotel will be going through another name-change near year's ends, but for the time being, it'll stay the River's Inn Hotel, in downtown Portsmouth, OH. The friendly service and staff "are not" changing, just their name!

"America's Western Sweetheart"
Belinda Gail

Western music's talented and multi-award winner, Belinda Gail was our Special Western Music Entertainment for the 2010 Roy Rogers Festival. We had the distinct honor and privledge of welcoming' her to Portsmouth, OH and the home of the Roy Rogers Festival. Belinda wanted to come and be a part of 2010's festivites and meet/greet all the fans. Roy Rogers and Dale Evans were very dear to her. She and Dale had a wonderful friendship and it remains very dear to Belinda's heart.

Hoped y'all joined in the cowboy fun and welcomed Belinda Gail and our special guests.

The Roy Rogers Festival honors our area native, Leonard Slye, aka, Roy Rogers and his lovely bride of over 50 years, Dale Evans.

The annual auction proceeds raises money for the Roy Rogers Scholarship Fund. A scholarship is given to a deserving Scioto County, OH high school senior each year.

Cowboys and cowgirls from all over the globe have a rip roarin' time! They are taken back to those wondrous days of yesteryear when cowboys were king and the good guys rode off into the sunset.

We wanted a way to reach out to more Roy and Dale's fans, so we decided to throw our cowboy hat into the ring and join the ranks.
