Something was in the air in this small Ohio town founded by identical twins 200 years ago. On Saturday, endless sets of twins made the "singly" born feel out of place.
Though the Twins Days Festival is open to all those of multiple birth, its essence is a celebration of what it means to be twins, identical or fraternal.
Organizers invited people taking part to dress in costume representing a country from which their family heralded, and most participants played along. Events at the weekend festival included a talent show, a “double take” parade and contests for the twins who looked most and least alike.
