The 77th annual Salunga Community Picnic will be held on Wednesday, Aug. 8, at the Hempfield Fire Department Pavilion in Salunga Park, located next to the fire station, 19 W. Main St., Landisville. The event will take place rain or shine. Festivities will begin at 4:30 p.m. with a variety of games, and a penny scramble will be held at 5:30 p.m. for children age 12 and under. Everyone will be invited to sit down for an evening meal at 6 p.m. Attendees should bring their own dinners and place settings; the picnic committee will provide chips, ice cream, and beverages. A peanut scramble and a traditional cake walk will take place following the meal, and drawings for door prizes and themed baskets will be held. There is no cost to attend the picnic, but donations will be accepted to cover the costs associated with producing the event. The picnic committee would be especially appreciative of
new volunteers to help with next year’s picnic. “We have a meeting, and you get stuff to do on your own time,” said committee member Karen Haldeman, explaining what is involved. “The more volunteers we have, the less each person has to do,” added committee member Stacey Cooper. She noted that a sign-up sheet for volunteers will be available at the upcoming picnic. Folks who would like to help with this year’s picnic may show up and ask to be put to work. Haldeman and Cooper would like to see the picnic continue, as they feel it benefits the community. “You can meet your neighbors,” Haldeman suggested. “It’s like a reunion. It brings people back together again,” Cooper added. “It’s a nice event, and kids really like it.” For more information, readers may search for “Salunga Community Picnic” on Facebook.
