OBETZ, Ohio _ All heck broke loose recently in Obetz. The police blocked the highways in and out, and many of the 3,800 residents careened around Lancaster Park like pinballs, tending to the 50,000 or so visitors who came to celebrate zucchinis.

Sort of.

The four-day hoedown was in fact Obetz's 19th annual Zucchinifest, although zucchinis were embarrassingly hard to find in the central Ohio village.

Jim Ryan, owner of Possum Holler Pizza, used to make zucchini pizza for the festival, but on Saturday, his booth carried only sausage and pepperoni.

"I had it for about 10 years, but no one bought it," Ryan said.

At the Parker & Sons Bar-Be-Que booth, Derrick Parker reeled off the menu as he brushed sauce on a slab of ribs.
