Atglen Community Day To Feature Food, Crafters, Music And More A scaled-down version of Atglen Community Day will be held on Saturday, Sept. 19, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at Atglen Community Park, 404 Ridge Ave., with consideration for safety being a top priority. “We wrestled with whether we should cancel or (not) cancel,” said Cristi Hahn, office coordinator for Penningtonville Presbyterian Church, which will present the eighth annual event. “We are asking everyone to follow all CDC and state recommendations. We really want it to be a safe event.” The Community Day event is organized by Penningtonville Presbyterian Church deacons, with support of Atglen Borough, Atglen Public Library (APL) and sponsoring businesses, including Summers & Zim’s Inc. and J.D. Eckman Inc. Several features of the Community Day have been dropped for this year. There will be no bounce houses, dunk tank, games or Apple Festival contests. Instead of the live auction, there will be a small silent auction and a chance to win prizes
through a random drawing. That does not mean there will not be plenty to do. Included in the day’s events will be food, including chicken barbecue, hot dogs, French fries and beverages. Crafters and vendors will have booths along the fence in the Atglen Community Park with 10by-10-foot spaces. “We have a lot more room to work with in the park,” Hahn said. Vendors will sell items such as books, jewelry and gourmet food items. Those who would like to reserve a space may do so by emailing Maureen.K.Fox@ gmail.com. There will be entertainment until 3 p.m. Critter Connection will bring live animals and reptiles to view, and Steel City Gymnastics will also perform. Featured will be Matt Holub on acoustic guitar. Visitors may bring their own blankets and chairs for seating and listen in the park with social distancing. The eighth annual car show, organized by APL, will be held this year as usual, with entered vehicles parked along Ridge Avenue from See Community Day pg 7
Singer and guitarist Matt Holub will perform at Atglen Community Day on Sept. 19.
It comes as no surprise that we continue to face many of the challenges we have experienced over the past six months. Who hasn’t used the word “uncertainty” more times than they can count? Despite this uncertainty, we have worked hard to keep our families and community safe while providing positive, creative ways to reinforce that we are in this together. We encourage you to continue sharing your stories and connecting with us on social media so we can go on spreading all the good we see in this world. At Engle Printing & Publishing See Letter pg 6
