With Ohio health orders being lifted June 2, the city of Stow is easing its way back to normalcy, loosening protocols for the Stow Strong festival, reopening the senior center and planning a full-fledged Summer Sunset Blast. We ve been under this mask mandate for almost a year and a half, Mayor John Pribonic said. Some people are totally fine, and some are still leery and rightfully so. We ripped off the Band-Aid, but we still need to respect each other. So whether it s June 2, or the Fourth of July, we want everyone to enjoy their experience, so we re going to make this a slow process.
