Westville has always been famous for their Labor Day celebration. And if you think that is impressive, wait until you see their Freedom Celebration beginning June 8th through the 14th. That week is so packed with activities it will take a bit to highlight them. We have a chance to talk with Gary Delhaye, Mary Ann Hughes, and Ruthie Hannan about the event.
