While most of the summer festival season has been kaboshed by the COVID-19 pandemic, the town of Warren has decided to have an abbreviated version of the Salamonie Summer Festival this year complete with fireworks.
Festival Chair Cheryl DeWeese says this year’s festivities will be a “mini series” of the usual activities-packed event. However, there will still be fun things to do for all ages throughout the end of this month to celebrate America, Salamonie style.
