The Mahoning Valley Young Professionals, in partnership with the Community Foundation of the Mahoning Valley, today announced the 2017 honorees for the 25 Under 35 Awards.

“If you build it, they will come,” a famous line from the 1989 “Field of Dreams” film starring Kevin Costner, might apply to Saturday’s inaugural Fall Fest along Mahoning Avenue on Youngstown’s West Side.

An outdoor café, a farmers market, live music and art galleries will be among the attractions transforming Mahoning Avenue Oct. 15 as part of the Mahoning Avenue Fall Fest.

Mahoning Avenue will feature live music, an outdoor cafe, an art sale, a farmers market and a dog costume contest during the Mahoning Avenue Fall Fest from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday. The event will be between Steel Street and Milton Avenue on the city’s West Side.

The Youngstown Foundation awarded more than $910,000 in third-quarter grants to 33 organizations.
