Fun in Ohio | Sherry Lachelle Travels

You’re probably wondering why someone would name their music venue/bar…The Fling Barn. If your last name is “Fling”…it makes sense. The owner Bill Fling was there and is very friendly. My husband…who I’ll nickname “The Lumberjack”…because he is constantly cutting down trees and splitting fire wood…and I went there last night. Located an hour from Northern Cincinnati, we decided to see Serpent Mound while we were in the area. I’ll save that for my next post.

The Fling Barn has 10 acres set aside for camping, with port-o-lets and it’s free! They also have a cabin for rent.

Anyway, here’s a photo of a barn along the way…

The Fling Barn is situated on a 200 acre working horse farm. In addition to providing live music in a unique setting, they host weddings and other events. We stopped by for some photos during daylight hours, on our way to Serpent Mound, and returned later around 7pm. Here’s a side view…

I love this weather vane!

Here is a different perspective…

This barn is in view of The Fling Barn and I loved the linear look of the corn and the colors…

Here are some of the horses…

There was a stand outside selling BBQ…so I had a pulled pork sandwich with mac-n-cheese and baked beans. The barn itself is two levels with a full bar. This is the upstairs where the band and dance floor are.

The barn is filled with antiques and Americana items…

The Mark Mays Blues Band was the entertainment for the evening and they were great! We danced quite a bit! Bill Fling has a dog that dances with you on the dance floor. It was fun to watch! Two other couples met us there. The music started at 8pm and every table was filled by 8:15pm.

This photo is during their sound check…
