Did you know that there used to be a festival every year called Parma Day?
Parma Day was an annual celebration that started in 1919 and held every year on the second Wednesday in August.
Residents of Parma as well as surrounding cities took park in the festivities. There were many contests held, such as the Fat Man's Race, where the winner of the race would receive a case of beer.
The big event of Parma Day was the beauty contest. Winners were chosen by the crowd based on clapping and whistling.
This photo was taken on August 8th, 1923 at Parma Day.
