Ohio Valley Filk Fest
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Ohio Valley Filk Fest, or O.V.F.F. is one of the largest filk cons in the United States and is held annually on Halloween weekend in the Columbus, Ohio area. The culmination of the event is the presentation of the Pegasus Award.
The first OVFF was held in 1984 in Cincinnati and was attended by about 80 people; it included the presentation of the first Pegasus Awards. After skipping 1985, it moved to the Columbus area but retained "Ohio Valley" in its name. The convention has been held every year since then, in various locations in the Columbus area. The 1987 convention hosted the wedding of Bill and Brenda Sutton. Recent conventions have been in Dublin.
