Schember said both festivals were successful and called them a great experience. He said it’s rewarding to see the festivals bring people together from near and far.
“In Erie, we have a lot of diversity and I think we celebrate that diversity with these events, and I want to do that. I think every person living in Erie should be treated with respect and honor and that’s what I do as mayor and I hope everyone will eventually be doing that as well,” he said.
