Mike Ackley said he was duped into coming to the 27th annual Samuel Jones Pioneer Award Breakfast on Friday, July 3.

It was only 15 minutes before he came forward to accept Warren’s most distinguished award that he found out he was the winner.

“I didn’t have a clue. I didn’t think it was me. I was told it was somebody else and I was here for them,” Ackley said. “I’m overwhelmed.”

Three bands, a zip line, fireworks and more are in store for the 48th annual Salamonie Summer Festival July 3 through 5 in Warren.

The zip line is a new addition, says festival chair Cheryl DeWeese, and will take riders on a block-long flight down 2nd Street from Main Street to Nancy Street.

“It’s a short ride, but it will be fun,” she promises.
