Remember when . . . you wore pegged pants, and your shirt collar up? Hair slicked back with Brylcream, you jumped into your '57 Chevy to go cruisin' at Manners or the Short-Stop? The place to be seen was the sock hop? Poodle skirts and petticoats, bobbie socks and saddle shoes, rootbeer and cherry phosphates were "in". Remember? Everyone was invited to relive those magical memories with family and friend at the 29th Ox Roast Fair taking folks back to those "good old days". Friday's rain cleared up just in time for opening night and sunny skies continued throughout the festivities to make the 3-day festival a success.

"A Family A-Fair"
Fri. 6:00 p.m.-Midnight • Sat. 3:00 p.m.-Midnight • Sun. 1:00-11:00 p.m.

Promoters let area residents know that without the Ox Roast, most of the things that St. Joseph's give back to the community would not be possible. Many parish programs rely on the process of the fair - athletic events, meetings and special programs including Eagle Scout projects, St. Joseph Cares (10% given to outreach efforts). The fair's organizational committee took on a more "take charge approach" as the parish was between pastors (Rev. Francis Hughes served as Pro-Tem Administrator Apr. 30 - July 1, 1994 and Rev. Richard Murphy served as Administrator July 2 - Aug. 31, 1994 until Rev. Thomas McCarthy came Sept. 1, 1994). Children's games, face painting, kiddie tractor pulls, carnival rides and games, frog jumping contest, horseshoe tournaments, silent auction, trade booths, indoor casino, karaoke contest, tractor pulls and semi pulls (new this year), and the ever-popular fireworks were part of the festivities once again. Souvenir T-shirts in turquoise with a bright yellow ox logo were available. Entertainment and attractions included "No Caboose", "Change of Pace", K105's Kountry Kruiser with A.J. McCloud, a karate demonstration, "Country Lovin'", and the St. Ignatius High School Circus Club roaming the grounds. Along with the usual main raffle, fairgoers could take their chances to win a 5 foot oak glider from the Garden Club and the cedar chest, afghan and chef's pot from the Infant of Prague Guild. Many area youngsters tried to catch the slick hog in the greased pig contest (future contests were eliminated due to the heat and concerns about the treatment and safety of the animal). Record crowds overflowed even the overflow parking areas at Crestwood High School. Festival officials noted the first marriage proposal in the history of the event (yes, it was accepted).

32nd Ox Roast Fair ~ July 14-16, 1995
"A Family A-Fair"
Fri. 6:00 p.m.-Midnight • Sat. 3:00 p.m.-Midnight • Sun. 1:00-11:00 p.m.

Despite severe thunderstorms and sweltering heat, a good-sized crowd still turned out for the 32nd, Fr. Tom McCarthy's first fair as pastor (Sept. 1, 1994 - July 31, 2003). Saturday was a wash because of the storm but the turn out was good on Sunday even using the overflow parking at the high school. Unfortunately, many of the events and tractor pulls were canceled Saturday evening. Wet conditions caused several pulls to be canceled again on Sunday. People did head into the church hall when it started to rain but the heat inside caused crowds to be sent home. Although Sunday night's storms weren't as severe, they did cause the cancellation of most of the fireworks display allowing only about one third of them to be shot off. Between storms Thursday, Saturday and Sunday evenings and the intense heat and humidity, hundreds of volunteers pitched in and did all they could to make the parish's biggest fundraiser of the year stay open. Although it was not the big success that the past couple of years have been, St. Joseph's Ox Roast 1995 will certainly be a fair to remember. All of the fair favorites were available with the addition of pick-up truck pulls, the Crestwood Band Boosters jail fundraiser, and a performance from the "Sweet Adeline's". Parking was $2.00 per vehicle. Trade booths were available for $150 or $100 for a non-profit organization for the standard booth and $300 for the large booth. Janine Soloman, a fifth grader at St. Joseph School, won the t-shirt design contest with her "Where's The Ox?" drawing and is still a favorite design.

33rd Ox Roast Fair ~ July 19-21, 1996
"Oxtravaganza"
Fri. 6:00 p.m.-Midnight • Sat. 3:00 p.m.-Midnight • Sun. 1:00-11:00 p.m.

"Thoroughly Roasted" was the catch phrase of Ox Roast Fair weekend in 1996. During this year our Ox Roast Barn burned down early Saturday morning (most likely an electrical short). Luckily, most everything was on the fairgrounds & no one was injured. Unfortunately the golf cart of volunteer Loretta Brugmann and a couple of the fair's big signs were lost in the fire.
Delicious offerings besides the ox roast treats were the cake booth, hamburgers, hotdogs, BBQ ribs, perogies, sausage sandwiches, elephant ears, french fries, soft serve, gyros, corn on the cob, funnel cakes, and lemon shake up. The 7th and 8th grade classes of St. Joseph School served up frozen treats at their booth including root beer floats, juice bars, popsicles and chocolate covered frozen bananas. The sausage sandwich booth run by Boy Scout Troop #575 helped to raise funds for Chris Walters' planned Eagle Project of building a pavilion on the grounds. Big Chuck and Lil' John from WJW-TV8 were at the Fair hosting a pizza eating contest which was an exciting and popular event.
A theme contest was held for St. Joseph School & CCD program students - 6 year old Robert Budny won with his "Oxtravaganza" entry winning a ride pass for an entire day at the Fair. Entertainment favorites taking the stage included "Country Lovin'", the Sweet Adeline's Heart of Ohio Chorus, four-time regional champion barber shop quartet "Glitz", K105 live remote, "Rob Cosma", "Southbound", Tom Todd, The Amazing Musical Wizard (an electronic one-man band), "Dave C and the Sharp Tones". Because of a surplus of past year's T-shirts and budget concerns, no new shirt was available for the 33rd fair. St. Joe's youth group sponsored the dunking booth. Dime pitch, Quarterfalls and a Cleveland Indians Series games were games run by the church as well as the indoor casino. The Home & School Association held their silent auction in the hall. Area Girl Scouts collected canned goods for the 4C's (Mantua's food cupboard) as a deal on reducing admission on Sunday - parking was half price with a donation instead of the $2.00 per vehicle charge.

34th Ox Roast Fair ~ July 18-20, 1997
"Almost Heaven, Ox Roast '97"
Fri. 6:00 p.m.-Midnight • Sat. 3:00 p.m.-Midnight • Sun. 1:00-11:00 p.m.

Volunteer crews helped to rebuild the fire destroyed Ox Roast barn soon after the fair's end in 1996 so that all the equipment could be safely stored away for future Ox Roast Fairs. The new building was slightly bigger with three large garage doors, plenty of shelving and overhead storage, electricity, and a cement floor and pad in front of the building.



Beautiful weather and record crowds had the 34th living up to it's theme as fairgoers consumed 3,500 pounds of sirloin roasts in sandwiches and more than 1,200 dinners. The year's event was dedicated to Chuck Pechman, 20-year fair veteran in charge of cooking the beef, who died in November of 1996. Dinners were $7 for adults, $5.50 for seniors, $3.75 for children 12 and under, and $2 for children 3 and under. After a short absence, karaoke was back once again. The "Where's The Ox" t-shirt design was once again available (printer's error) on a medium blue shirt with gold ink. The Girl Scouts collected a pick-up load of non-perishable food items for the 4C's easily doubling the previous year's effort. As in year's past, surplus food items were contributed to the Center of Hope in Ravenna, including 100 pounds of beef, vegetables and bread.

35th Ox Roast Fair ~ July 17-19, 1998
"75th Anniversary of St. Joseph Parish"
Fri. 6:00 p.m.-Midnight • Sat. 3:00 p.m.-Midnight • Sun. Noon-11:00 p.m.

The parish's 75th "silver" anniversary was commemorated in the t-shirt design using a royal blue shirt with a metallic silver ox logo with a small diamond near the ox's horns. Festivities included "Dave C & The Sharp Tones", K105's Country Cruiser, "Junction 303", gospel and country entertainer Mark Statler, rhythm and blues band "Son of Ghoul" with "The Ignitors", Big Chuck and Lil' John passing out pictures and autographs, karaoke, and special fireworks set to music to close things out on Sunday. Secretary of State Robert Taft visited the fairgrounds with his campaign for governor. Truck and tractor pulls were back again with antique, farm, garden, semis, and 4-wheel drive pick-ups. Unfortunately, the kiddie tractor pulls could not take place due to the Crestwood Jaycee inability to locate the three pedal tractors for the event they ran. It was thought that they were being stored in the township garage after their old storage place, the granary, was torn down in October, 1997, but they were no where to be found. Of course, the carnival games and amusement rides, church-run games like dime pitch, Quarterfalls, Indian's Series Game, and the dunking booth sponsored by St. Joseph's CYO Soccer were back. The casino, cake booth, silent auction, and big raffle for $5,000 in cash prizes enticed the gambler in everyone. Dinners, sandwiches and delicious foods were among the favorites once again. Our beautiful pavilion was Chris Walters' Boy Scout Eagle Project in 1998 (thanks to T.J. Dick's 1999 Eagle Project, lighting/electrical service is now provided there as well). Retired priest and pastor of St. Joe's when the Ox Roast Fair began, Msgr. Francis Hughes was all smiles while visiting the 35th.

36th Ox Roast Fair ~ July 16-18, 1999
"Lookin' Fine in '99"
Fri. 6:00 p.m.-Midnight • Sat. 3:00 p.m.-Midnight • Sun. Noon-11:00 p.m.

The oxen were roasting again in Mantua at this annual event that draws nearly 20,000 over the 3-day fair weekend. Some new features added to the traditional fun and games was an increase in the main raffle - $5,000 for first prize, $1,500 for second, and $500 for third. Due to the increased cost and liability of the fireworks display, it was decided to forego the popular event with money put into the raffle instead (incidentally, windy weather for the 1998 fireworks display sent sparks dangerously close to the school's roof)). In addition, a Step 2 play area for the toddler and pre-school set, and the Mantua/Shalersville Fire Department Fire Safety Trailer to help teach kids about fire safety procedures were on hand. Inflatable Amusements were offered for the kids and young people - games included "Box 'n Battle", with it's giant boxing gloves, and "Bungee Run", with it's tethered contestant races. Onion blossoms were a new food item added. The year's souvenir t-shirt was red with a metallic silver ox logo.

The 1999 Ox Roast Fair was dedicated in loving memory of a Linda Kulka. A St. Joe parishioner, wife and mother of four, who was a dedicated volunteer (chairing the Distribution aspect of the Fair along side her husband for many years) was tragically killed in a head on auto crash on March 2, 1999. In her honor Fair workers wore special green ribbons during the Fair. Husband Terry Kulka & family graciously accepted a framed piece of artwork with a verse expressing everyone's sentiments. Linda's commitment & spirit will always be remembered.

Great volunteers, community spirit, hot & humid, selfless giving, lots of fun, blessings abound, hospitality, tired smiles, 7,800 pounds of trash!, entertaining, sold out booths, stewardship, 99 kegs of beer!, delicious food, bigger and better summed up the 36th Ox Roast.
