EAST FAREWELL
GETS READY FOR EXPLOSIVE FOURTH
East Farewell – The town is gearing up for a huge Fourth of July
celebration coming this weekend. Tomorrow night, July 3rd, there
will be a Main Street Stroll featuring all the restaurants and stores staying
open until 10:00 PM or later so people can wander through the town and sit for
a bit in the decidedly Parisian flavor
of decked out cafes and bistros. On Saturday there will be a parade down Main
Street and a Travelers home game. Saturday evening is when the fun really
begins. There will be a Lakefront Plaza
concert and open picnic starting at 6:00PM. The concert will feature local
favorite and national band leader, Gus Templeton and his orchestra. Along with
Templeton, jazzman Gus Sloan with his five piece jazz band will add some great
music. The joint will get really jumping when Big Roy and the Magnificents
perform their rhythm and blues set.
After the sun sets the fire department plans to set off the largest
fireworks display the town has ever seen.
They have cleared an area behind the Plaza as a staging area for the
setting off the display. The trajectory
will take the fireworks out over the lake and should be excellent viewing form
almost anywhere on the lake. Many folks
with lakefront properties are planning smaller, private parties for the
event. All are welcome to the Plaza party.

SPORTS
TRAVELERS
LOSE ANOTHER ONE
Youngstown – The Travelers were unable end their road trip on a
winning note when they lost to the Youngtown Steelers 6-3 last week. Thankfully they open an extended home stand
this Saturday. They are playing much
better at home than on the road. They have not lost at home this season but
have only won two out of four on the road.
The Steelers are leading
the league and came out swinging scoring two quick runs in the first, the first
was a one pitch blast by Frank Walker. That was followed by a double by Dave
O’Hara and a sacrifice by Swanson rattled starter Billy Green. The Travelers
struck back in the second with a three run homer by Johnny Cloos who is leading
the league in dingers. Unfortunately, that was all the Travelers could get on
the board. The Steelers went on to score
two more off Green and then two in the eighth off reliever, Tommy Long.
The Travelers are coming
home on Saturday with an afternoon game against the Erie Eagles. The game
starts at 1:30 at the new ballpark.
