Salamonie Summer Festival in Warren has been amping up the Fourth of July Weekend for over 50 years and we gotta tell you, this "Small Town with a Big Heart" knows how to party! Parades, concerts, antique tractor/engine show, food, games, water ball, flea market, tractor pull, bingo and some of the best fireworks around.
Our kids work hard to prepare every year for the Huntington County 4-H Fair. Held in August, the fair is a must-do. Come out to see the livestock, projects and don't leave without sampling some of that delicious fair food (tip: try the milkshakes)!
