WARREN, Ohio – Mahoning Valley companies are rolling out America250-themed products as the nation prepares to mark its semiquincentennial. Businesses say the offerings reflect both official partnerships and growing customer interest in patriotic merchandise ahead of Independence Day events.

Plus, rubber ducks will return to the Mahoning River on Sunday for the Rotary Club of Warren’s second annual River Duck Festival at Warren Community Amphitheatre.

And the Public Utilities Commission of Ohio approved emergency rate increases Wednesday for SOBE Thermal Energy Systems LLC customers.
