The third and final day of the Festival of the Bells celebration brought together community accomplishment and country music, with a performance by Jason Michael Carroll, and the honoring of an area hall of fame inductee.
"Thank you for inviting us to your party tonight," Carroll told the crowd of thousands. "We love coming out here hanging out here with a bunch of folks who love to listen to country music like your folks do. You know what? Y'all got the same attitude we got up in on this stage. You know what kind of attitude that is, Ohio? I can sleep when I'm dead, how 'bout you all?"
Carroll then launched into his hit "I Can Sleep When I'm Dead," bringing concert-goers to their feet as they cheered and sang along.
Clear Channel Communications presented Greenfield native Chuck Collier with a plaque, recognizing his achievements in radio. Collier, who got his start in broadcasting at WSRW in 1963, is a 2009 inductee to the Country Music DJ and Radio Hall of Fame. The Highland County commissioners had proclaimed July 3 as Chuck Collier Day.
Festival of the Bells entertainment committee chairperson Rick Williams told the Highland County Press that the festival had a smooth run this year, and that the committee was already looking ahead to picking out entertainment acts for next year's festival.
