Ellwood City Arts Festival to close bridge access
Ellwood City Arts Festival patrons face delays as the Ewing Park Bridge closes. Access to Ewing Park from the south now uses the Veterans Memorial Lincoln High School Bridge, with free shuttle buses running from four off site parking areas to the festival and to all five borough wards. The 20th yearly event features Edward the Eagle, food and craft booths, Life Flight demonstrations, a 10 K race, and a large kids area, drawing as many as 60 000 visitors over the three day Fourth of July weekend.
