BROCKWAY, Pa. (EYT) – The 51st edition of Brockway’s annual Old-Fashioned Fourth of July Celebration is ready to go.
Fourth of July Committee Chairman Jeff Gankosky said, “The committee has been hard at work since last year’s celebration to bring family oriented programs to you. Along with the annual patriotic program, Star Spangled bicycle race, children’s fishing contest, 10K race, antique car show, parade, and fireworks taking place as in the past, we have also been working on a variety of entertainment as well as educational programs to include in this year’s celebration.”
“Also, make sure you visit the Taylor Memorial Museum to see a slice of Brockway’s history, the art show to see local artists showcase their works, the craft show to see and take home some homemade crafts, and a visit to the Concession area for some good old fashioned summer time food,” Gankosky added.
Volunteers are welcome, and anyone interested in getting involved in the celebration can contact Gankosky at 814-265-0628.
