Sunnyside Park block party returns to New Paris after decades

NEW PARIS, Ind. — Sunnyside Park hosted the town’s annual block party Saturday, marking the first time the event has been held at the park since the 1990s. Now in its fourth consecutive year, the revived tradition drew large crowds and provided a boost to local businesses, organizers said.

More than two dozen food trucks and vendors lined the park, while six bands performed throughout the day. A pinball tournament inside the park building added to the festivities.
