Taste of Liberty event returns this weekend to showcase local flavors
The third annual Taste of Liberty event is happening Saturday at Liberty High School from 4 to 5:30 p.m.
Various restaurants and businesses along Belmont Avenue come together to create a cultural feast. Plus, entertainment will be provided by Liberty students.
'I'd like to think it's anyone from Howland, Boardman and Canfield that maybe doesn't come up this way very often, they might want to come and try the huge variety of food that Liberty has to offer and maybe make this a destination for them to come by later down the road,' said Elaine Jacobs, with the Liberty School Alumni Association.
Money raised from the event will go back to the schools.
The event also gives restaurants in Liberty greater exposure.
'Be a part of the things that help the community run. You know, the football teams, the sporting events and events like this that bring people who maybe have no reason to come over here to see what we have to offer,' said Jason Sharpe, owner of Shakers Bar and Grill.
Tickets for the event are $25.

Musical 'Hamilton' and historian Ron Chernow to receive Liberty Medal awards
PHILADELPHIA (AP) — The Broadway musical 'Hamilton' and the historian whose book inspired it will collect the National Constitution Center's Liberty Medal this fall, an award for efforts to spread liberty around the world. Ron Chernow and ' Hamilton ' will collect the medal and its $100,000 cash prize at an event in October on Philadelphia's Independence Mall. Award organizers credited the book and musical for having a 'singular impact' by bringing to life and spreading the story of the U.S. Constitution and Alexander Hamilton, a pivotal figure in drafting and promoting the governing document. He was also the first U.S. treasury secretary. 'Hamilton,' which debuted on Broadway a decade ago, has become a cultural touchstone, winning the Pulitzer Prize, a Grammy and 11 Tony awards. Lin-Manuel Miranda, who created the musical, called the award a deep honor. 'The Constitution is not just a historical artifact — it's a challenge. A call to participate. To speak up, to imagine better, and to work, every day, toward that more perfect union,' he said in a statement released before the formal announcement. Chernow's many books have included biographies of former presidents George Washington and Ulysses S. Grant and, more recently, of writer and humoristMark Twain. 'In writing about Hamilton, Washington, and Grant, I've come to see that liberty is not a gift passed down through generations — it's a responsibility,' Chernow said in a statement. 'One that demands courage, compromise, and commitment. These men were imperfect, but they dared to envision something greater than themselves.' The Liberty Medal was established in 1988 to honor the 200th anniversary of the U.S. Constitution's 1787 signing. Recent winners have included the late Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg and PBS documentary filmmaker Ken Burns.

The ‘nightmare' story behind the creepy prop awarded to the Liberty's defensive player of the game
At the start of the season, Liberty video coordinator and player development coach Brian Lankton wanted to try something new. He hoped the team would embrace it. That, or they might think it was silly. He took the chance anyway. So after the Liberty beat the Aces in their season opener, Lankton pulled out a replica of Freddy Krueger's infamous claw-like glove from the 'A Nightmare on Elm Street' movies and explained what it means to be the team's 'glove' of the game.
