A local community is getting ready for an event that will highlight unity and patriotism.
The Zelienople Historical Society has organized the Zelienople Patriotic Porch Tour which is planned to begin Thursday and continue for a week through July 8th.
The kickoff picnic at Passavant House from 4 to 8 p.m. will include music, ceremonies, hot dogs, and sparklers. Attendees will then have the chance to view the decorated yards and storefronts of houses and businesses around the Zelienople area.
Awards will be given for best decorated house and business following the end of the tour based on votes from people who view the displays. Visit the Zelienople Historical Society website for more information.
