ZELIENOPLE — While the raindrops dampened the 36th annual Zelienople Country Fall Festival on Saturday, the outlook of vendors, attendees and organizers remained bright and sunny.

Some carried umbrellas to fend off the drizzle, while others wore windbreakers or raincoats as they strolled Main Street, visited businesses, perused the crafts and displays in Four Corners Park or noshed on goodies from the food vendors behind the town's eponymous lion fountain.

Joe Gusherowski of New Freedom, York County, came to the festival with three fellow sophomores from Robert Morris University.

“I was told it was going to be a good time, and I was also told there would be lots of good food, which there is,” Gusherowski said.
