Organizers of this year’s 42nd annual Italian Fall Festa are owed some fine weather by the weather gods after a near-washout in 2018 prompted them to create a drive-through “Grab ‘n Go” operation to help sell the copious amounts of delicious Italian food that highlight the event each year.

And early forecasts suggest a fine, rain-free weekend appears to be in store for the Italian Fall Festa, which will be held from 6 p.m. to 11 p.m. Friday, Sept. 6; noon to 11 p.m. Saturday; and noon to 8 p.m. Sunday at 2625 County Line Road in Kettering.
