• Bedford police enforce age restrictions at summer festivals following regional violence (cleveland19.com) — Bedford police are tightening supervision rules for this weekend’s Strawberry Festival, requiring anyone under 18 to attend with a parent or adult chaperone. Officers will patrol the grounds and ask unsupervised minors to leave, a precaution officials say helped keep last summer’s Bedford events peaceful despite rising youth violence at other regional festivals.
