With more activities and warmer temperatures, annual event enjoyed by many Warren families.

Just a note to say the Warren Bonfire was a really nice event on Saturday night. The recreation dept. employees, headed by Eleanora Hermann always do such an outstanding job for the residents. There was nothing left to be desired..the bonfire was so well thought through. It would be nice to see other towns do such a nice event. Great job! And thanks to all the other volunteers! more ›
