Despite the storms, the Salamonie Summer Festival activities pushed on this past weekend.
The attendance, however, was low, Warren Town Marshal Dennis Spitler said.
Friday's big concert at the Wagon Wheel Cafe, featuring former American Idol contestant and national recording artist Bucky Covington, was held late that evening.
And besides a concert on Sunday by another band, which was canceled when a second storm system passed through the area, all the scheduled events on Saturday and Sunday were held, said Bonnie Boxell, festival staff member and this year's Samuel Jones Pioneer Award winner.
She and her late husband, "Big Ron," were honored Friday morning with the Pioneer Award. Boxell was due to ride in Friday evening's parade for the award, but it was rescheduled for Saturday afternoon after the storm passed through.
"I'd (have) much rather watched it," she said Monday of her "nice honor."
Spitler said 40 to 50 percent of the town had power by Friday evening, with the remaining town residents regaining power early Saturday morning.
