Forest City, Susquehanna County -

More than a dozen vendors took over the streets of Forest City for the start of "Old Home Week" Thursday. Many are selling hand-made goods. This annual celebration started in the 1970's as a street festival. It's grown every year into a homecoming-like event. From games for the kids, to ice-cold lemonade, there's something for everyone to enjoy. Besides the funnel cakes and cheesecakes, the highlight of this year's event will be a pierogi eating contest Saturday. The contest will take place at 3:00PM. The festival itself runs through Sunday afternoon.
