Volunteers from IBEW Local 573 in Warren carried on a recent tradition started by a now-deceased member of their union by hanging flower baskets throughout Warren’s Courthouse Square, amphitheater and surrounding roads in downtown Warren.
More than 20 IBEW members and their families donated their time and labor to assist the Trumbull 100, of which Local 573 is a member, in the annual beautification project.
