The Tremont Arts & Cultural festival was held on Sept 20-21, 2003 in Cleveland at Lincoln Park. Included were artist’s booths, a children’s village, community oriented non-profit groups, ethnic food and performing groups or area dance, theatrical and musical artists. Post 24’s food booth had offerings of kielbasa, pierogis stuffed cabbage, borscht and sauerkraut and noodles. The lines at the food booth were often long and every customer enjoyed the food. Post 24 plans on returning next year.
