The 28th annual Savage Fest will be on June 6. This is such a wonderful day in our community. The festivities run from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. There will be a moon bounce, pony rides, petting zoo, magic show, live music and performances by local organizations.
You can learn about local history with reenactments or visit the many booths full of local crafts, food and information. Make some keepsake photos in the magical photo booth. There is something for everyone.
The Savage Historical Society has published a book on the community titled "A Trip down Memory Lane." It will premiere at the Fest. Members will also have their 2016 calendars, It Happens in Savage. I hope to see you there.
