(Hillsboro) — The City of Hillsboro celebrated the grand opening of the pedestrian bridge that connects Shafer and Liberty Parks with a ribbon cutting with the Highland County Chamber of Commerce on Tuesday, September 28, 2021.
Located at 1484 North High Street in Hillsboro, the bridge offers an easy and safe passage between the two parks located at the north end of Hillsboro.
“The Pedestrian Bridge is the final piece of the puzzle to join downtown Hillsboro by sidewalks and trails to Liberty Park. We are really glad to have this addition to our city as it lets our citizens easily enjoy our parks,” said Mayor Justin Harsha during the ribbon cutting.

While many of Ohio’s fairs and festivals are planning to reopen in 2021, The Festival of the Bells in Hillsboro will not be held.
The Festival of the Bells Committee, the City of Hillsboro, and the Highland County Health Department made that announcement in a social media post.
The committee stated- “Currently, it is too difficult to provide a safe event for our community, guests, artists and vendors. The potential for a large crowd in a confined area is a health concern. The decision was made with heavy hearts but with the best intentions in mind for all involved. Efforts will focus on a strong comeback for the 2022 Festival of the Bells.”
Governor Mike DeWine has already given the go-ahead for fairs and festivals to be held in 2021, with the stipulation that health guidelines be observed during their events, if they are still needed at that point.
