A $55,000 check was handed to the Reverend Monsignor of Our Lady of Mount Carmel in Youngstown on Wednesday. It’s the money that was raised from the Italian festival over the summer. Wednesday was a night to celebrate the dozens of volunteers that put on the event and the many sponsors.

WKBN General Manager Dave Coy was recognized for our many years of sponsorship and support for the festival. One speaker talked about how successful the Our Lady of Mount Carmel Italian Festival has grown to be over the years and says volunteers help make it happen.
