Palmer Fest, Athens, Ohio, 2018

With Athens Fire Chief Robert Rymer keeping her company, Service Safety Director Paula Horan-Moseley watched fest-goers leave Palmer Street. It was her last fest -- she is retiring in a couple od weeks -- but if that fact caused her anguish she was very good at hiding it. It was suggested that there could be a special Paula Fest in her honor, but she declined.

After a house is closed, cleanup begins. The uninitiated would be surprised at how quickly yards go from total mess to free of debris.
