After a four year hiatus, Soberfest returns to Kesterner Park this weekend. Lead Organizer Deb Barna, says she started the event as a time and place for the community to gather, without the influence of alcohol or other substances. And she recognizes that many events throughout the summertime involve alcohol, in some fashion. This year the Soberfest returns to their roots with a simple picnic at the park.
