CINCINNATI (AP) \u2014 A federal appeals court has ruled in favor of two Christians who say their free speech rights were violated at a southwest Ohio corn festival. <\/p>\n

A 6th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals three-judge panel ruled unanimously Monday that a policy against solicitation at the annual Sweet Corn Festival was too broad, and unconstitutional. The panel reversed a federal judge's ruling. <\/p>\n

The case stemmed from the summer 2009 festival in the Dayton suburb of Fairborn, Ohio. Plaintiffs Tracy Bays and Kerrigan Skelly planned to convey their religious beliefs among festival-goers, and Bays began walking through the park with a sandwich board sign with Christian messages. After encountering opposition from a festival worker and officials, they left. <\/p>\n

They sued in 2010. The Christian legal aid group Alliance Defense Fund argued their appeal. <\/p>\n
