The 40th anniversary of “I Love Clarion” was held Saturday at the Clarion Mall.
“The Chamber of Commerce started this event back in 1983,” said Clarion Chamber of Commerce and Industry Executive Director Tracy Becker. “Even when we had COVID we still held the event. To me, it’s an honor to carry on this tradition.”
A number of vendors, churches and volunteer groups attended the even, and for the first time crafters were invited.
Children were able to put a handprint on flag-themed prints, which were presented to veterans later that evening.
Fireworks ended the evening. “Due to the dry conditions, the Clarion Fire and Hose Company made certain nothing got out of hand,” Becker said.
“The weather was great and, all-in-all, it’s been a perfect day.”
