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.

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.
