A new event in the southeastern part of the county will provide some fun in the cold sun on Saturday.

Winterfest will be held from noon to 7 p.m. on Main Street in Saxonburg, and will offer food, vendors, entertainment and, most importantly, a break from the winter doldrums.

Miranda Virone, owner of Blue Jar Candle Co. on Main Street in Saxonburg, said the event is being planned by a committee of entrepreneurs and others in the borough.

She said many community partners are sponsoring Winterfest, which she hopes will become an annual event.
