DOWNTOWN FUN Sarah Ford for Shaw Media
Teens and tweens from Prophetstown, Tampico and Erie enjoyed an afternoon in the Erie triangle for the village’s Sesquicentennial celebration on Saturday, Aug. 13. The youth had plenty of activities to keep them busy, from games and bounce houses to food to horse-drawn wagon rides to a dunk tank featuring EP coaches. Erie marked the village’s 150 years with a weekend long celebration.
