Fifth annual Washington Italian Festival to honor health-care heroes
Italian-American health care heroes will take center stage at the fifth annual Washington Italian Festival, scheduled for Saturday, Sept. 25, in downtown Washington.
Formal recognition of Washington’s Italian Americans is a festival tradition. This year, state Sen. Camera Bartolotta will honor Italian health care workers who live and work in Washington County and served the area through the COVID-19 pandemic. The recognition will begin at 1 p.m. at the Community Pavilion, across from the Observer-Reporter on South Main Street.
“We are thrilled to honor the important contributions of health care workers at this year’s festival,” said Jon Bruno, festival chairman, in a press release. “We are spreading the word with the local health care community and encourage you to come for this special recognition.”
Health care workers interested in being recognized at the event are asked to preregister. For more information, call Lauren LaGreca at 908-256-4348, or email L.a.montemarano@gmail.com.
