Music, magic, arts and an alumni weekend were all part of the fifth annual Freed Fest held Saturday and Sunday in Salem. The event celebrated the memory of the legendary Alan Freed, a 1940 Salem High School graduate, and a member of the founding class of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. He coined the timeless “Rock n’ Roll” term. The event showcased the renovated McCulloch Park on East State Street. A family-oriented magic show by nationally renowned 2002 SHS graduate Jason Alan Greenamyer was a big hit for all ages. For information on Greenamyer — known along with his co-performer and wife Stacy as “The Alans” — visit thealanslive.com.
