If you’re a history buff, you certainly won’t want to miss the 12th Annual Yellow River Festival this weekend! There is no cost for admission and the festival will be held today and tomorrow at River Park Square in Plymouth.
The festival celebrates Marshall County history, encompassing the years 1840 through the 1940s. It will feature re-enactments, demonstrations, storytelling, period music, dancing and kids’ games. Foods and crafts reflecting the historical period will also be sold by not-for-profit groups as fundraisers.
One big emphasis of the event is the ecological importance of the Yellow River and the environment around it. Event organizers aim to help community members better understand the significance of the river and its relationship to Marshall County’s history.
