Warren hosting 1st River Duck Festival this weekend
WARREN, Ohio (WKBN) – Rubber duckies will be racing down the Mahoning River on Saturday as part of the first River Duck Festival in Warren. The Warren Rotary Club is hosting the event in place of its Slice of the Valley fundraiser, which has been retired. The festival gates will open at 11 a.m. Saturday at Perkins Park. There will be music, vendors, raffles, a Jeep competition and duck adoptions ahead of the big race at 3 p.m., weather permitting. 'We thought what could be best for promoting Warren City, promoting the river that's opening up for recreational use now and everything. So this is why we wanted to bring it into the city and a River Duck Festival can bring all ages out,' said Cindy Matheson, president of the Warren Rotary Club. Admission to the event is free. All other proceeds raised will go back to the community. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved. This material may not be published, broadcast, rewritten, or redistributed.

Symbol of world peace has home in Warren
WARREN, Ohio (WKBN) – A symbol aimed at spreading world peace now has a permanent home in downtown Warren. The Warren Rotary Club unveiled its Peace Pole during a special ceremony Wednesday. It includes the message 'May Peace Prevail on Earth' in several different languages. The goal is to encourage people to think, talk, and take steps towards world peace. The Peace Pole is planted near the fountain on Courthouse Square. 'We think there's so much beauty in the downtown area, and we wanted to bring to that something more for people to come here and be able to sit and talk,' said Cindy Matheson, president of the Warren Rotary Club. The Warren Rotary Club says there are about 250,000 Peace Poles around the world. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
