FORT WAYNE, Ind. (WANE) — Fort Wayne Parks and Recreation has been hard at work preparing Salomon Farm Park for its annual Fall Harvest Festival.
The festival looks to celebrate both the history and culture of the American farm and the lifestyle surrounding it. It’s a family friendly event with plenty of activities for all ages to experience and enjoy.
