Local historian visits Austintown Rotary

SPECIAL TO THE VINDICATOR Richard Scarsella, local historian and educator, spoke about many of the myths and truths about Idora Park at the July 18 meeting of the Rotary Club of Austintown. They met at Manor Restaurant. Scarsella explained that Idora started in 1899 and enjoyed great success until the disastrous fire of 1984. He talked about the Olympic size salt water pool that was filled to make Kiddieland. Ed Kalaher, left, rotary president, presented a book to Scarsella which will be placed in the Austintown Elementary School library.
