Ohio’s Twins Days Festival: Corn Dogs and Conference Hall Discos

At first glance, the event is one of pure spectacle: thousands of twins, colourfully outfitted according to the year’s theme, congregate warmly in the Midwest. This year celebrated the Eighties, and pairs arrived matched in vibrant neon, Rolling Stones memorabilia, and Ray-Ban Wayfarers.

By night, adult twins in matching make-up headed to a disco in the conference hall of a corporate hotel. Americana at its most sincere.
