UPPER SANDUSKY, OH (CRAWCORD COUNTY NOW) — Starting Thursday evening, the Wyandot County Fairgrounds will roar to life as Joe Bayliff’s Route 30 Harley-Davidson launches the Route 30 Rodeo Weekend — a three-day celebration honoring Bayliff’s legacy with music, motorsports, and midway entertainment.
The weekend features vendors and camping; dancers lighting up the midway; nerve-testing slow races; balance-testing barstool races; the Roughhouse Roundup; full-throttle motorcycle rodeo action; and live music.
Thursday opens with the Roughhouse Roundup — amateur wrestling in the arena at 7 p.m.
Friday delivers an all-day music lineup featuring JT Lanker, Backroads Band, Hank Williams IV, Brian Durst, and Afroman, along with rodeo sign-ups, barstool races, and a community bonfire at 11 p.m.
Saturday’s schedule begins with registration for the Bike and Jeep Show at 11 a.m.; the show runs from 2 to 4 p.m., followed by awards at 5 p.m. Evening entertainment starts at 7 p.m. with Last Train to Ozz — one of the nation’s top Ozzy Osbourne tribute bands. Rodeo finals follow at 8:30 p.m., leading into the headliner, Jasmine Cain, at 9 p.m. The second community bonfire closes out the night at 11 p.m.
Sunday wraps up the weekend with Roadhouse Revival at 11 a.m. in the arena building, along with a kids’ choir and activities. Kids get in free.
Coolers are allowed at campers and around the fairgrounds but restricted within the concert area during shows. Bars will operate in two locations — one inside the restricted concert zone and another open during busy evening performances.
Tickets for the Route 30 Rodeo and camping are still available; however, entry is free to visit the 24 food trucks and 20+ vendors all weekend. A full fairgrounds map and the official schedule are included below for attendees planning their weekend.
