Renewal of vows and co-celebrating local resident's golden anniversary added something special to this year's "muPicmfest."    50 years is a long time and certainly includes numerous memories for everyone involved.  The city of Barberton has several special events over the course of a hear but this one will be a very special one for those couples who participated in this special anniversary.

Congratulations to the City of Barberton for taking a creative and unique approach to celebrating a very special anniversary for the city and it's residents.
