The first families of Clintonville had plenty of self-made entertainment available, including skating, sledding, buggy and automobile rides, swimming, knocking about in the woods, following ravines to their source, playing in the river, climbing on train trestles, visiting with neighbors, and taking long strolls on Sundays. Since a good book had no competition with television, they read, and libraries became an integral part of their lives. Everybody loves a parade, and Clintonville residents mounted their fair share of them. They actively gardened, put on their own concerts and plays, started clubs, and were involved with their churches.
