Celebrate 2020’s Forgotten
Holidays At Port Clinton
Rewind Days
By Maggie Kelch, Feature Writer
What did you miss the most this year because you were quarantined? Attending church services? Taking the kids to an Easter Egg Hunt? Enjoying your favorite St. Patty’s Day or Cinco De Mayo beverage?
Many holidays and celebrations were overlooked earlier this year as businesses were closed and we focused on stay- ing safe at home, due to the Covid-19 pandemic. Now, the City of Port Clinton is cranking up the time machine and will push the Rewind Button on August 1 and 2 to help residents and visitors enjoy the activities that they missed.
