Austintown twins Drew and Noah Jursa fit right in when they attended the 36th annual Twins Days festival in Twinsburg, Ohio, Aug. 5-7.

This was the second year the 11‚Ñ2 year old twins attended the festivities. They also attended last summer as babies.

The theme for the 2011 celebration was “Circus.” On Aug. 6, the Jursa twins participated in the “Double Take” Parade.

The boys were dressed in customized red shortalls, embroidered locally by K&M Embroidery.

Each outfit bore their name and a clown with balloons design. Their parents, Shannan and Jeff, decorated the wagon with personalized banners and a circus train.

On Aug. 7, Noah and Drew participated in two Twin Contests. The first was for the Theme Outfit 12 and under. The twins did not place for a medal, but received participant ribbons.

The second contest was Most Alike Males, Ages 1-2. They took second and earned a silver medal.

They’ll shoot for gold next year when they head back to Twinsburg for the annual event.
