Alexandria Fun Days brought hundreds of attendees to the rural village in Licking County between July 18 and July 20.
The event, which took place at Fritz Drum Park, is a yearly homecoming festival that included the Little Miss Fun Days Pageant, tractor pulls, ice cream eating contests, a corn hole tournament, inflatables, and a parade down Main Street on Saturday morning.
The parade included floats with local organizations, residents, and the Northridge High School Marching Band. The paraders threw candy and sprayed water guns as they went down Main Street.
