GALLIA COUNTY, Ohio. The Bob Evans Farm Festival wrapped up its 2026 run this weekend, and the Gallia County Sheriff’s Office was right in the middle of the fun.
Deputies spent the weekend meeting festivalgoers, posing for photos, and letting folks climb into the cruiser for a closer look. One deputy even found time to hold a piglet.
The sheriff’s office said afterward they were grateful for the chance to connect with the community, share a few smiles and laughs, and be part of a weekend that has become a Gallia County tradition.
The annual festival at the Bob Evans Farm in Rio Grande is one of the county’s biggest fall weekends, with farm events, food vendors, and this year, lumberjack competitions and apple dumplings from the Gallia Academy Choir Boosters.
