We are happy to report that this event gets bigger every year, which is odd because you\u2019d think it would thin out the population.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The festival will feature crafts, food, and rides for any children who eventually make their way out of the hot cars. There will also be a WalMart fashion show for moms, demonstrations on how to efficiently beat your children in a crowded shopping aisle, and a performance by the nationally renowned Kids on Leashes Drill team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI wait all winter for this festival,\u201d said Clermont resident Barbara Stone. \u201cWith all the horrible stuff in the world nowadays, it\u2019s good to have a nice old fashioned event like this. I love it because I can bring the whole family. Then, I can leave them in a hot car while I go enjoy myself.\u201d<br><br>41 year-old Batavia Resident Kenny Fulsom will receive an award at this year&#8217;s festival for managing to survive in a hot car for over 36 years. Fulsom was left in the car behind a barn by his mother in 1976. He wasn&#8217;t discovered until this year when Wal-Mart executives toured the plot of land for consideration as an expansion site.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>BATAVIA, OH&nbsp;&#8211;
