TWINS FESTIVAL IN TWINSBURG

Twinsburg is a small town in Ohio, in the United States of America. Normally it is quiet, but every year in August there is a special festival in the town: the Twins Festival. Twins from many other countries go to the festival.

This year there are 4000 people at the festival in Twinsburg. Some of the twins are 70 days old, and some are 70 years old. Some of the twins are identical, and others are completely different. Brothers and sisters have got identical clothes.

Lauren and Amy are twelve years years old and they are twin sisters. They live in Chicago but they go to Twinsburg every year with their father and mother. “We like the festival because there are different activities every day and we have got a lot of friends. In the evenings we go dancing and sing karaoke.”
