Salem’s a frequent host

SALEM — Salem is hosting the Columbiana County Track and Field Boys Meet for the 45th time today.

It has been held every time in Salem at Sebo Stadium, formerly known as Reilly Stadium, since the first time in 1928.

The boys meet has been held in East Palestine 51 times, in Lisbon at the Columbiana County Fairgrounds 22 times and East Liverpool three times. It was moved to Mount Union in 1927 because the fairgrounds were flooded.

This is the 17th time Salem has hosted the girls meet. It has been held in East Palestine 29 times.
