Parkesburg Community Day To Offer Family Fun

By Marcella Peyre-Ferry People of all ages will find fun and entertainment at Parkesburg Community Day on Saturday, July 6, starting at 3 p.m. at Minch Park. The event is an annual production of the Parkesburg Area Events Committee. Any proceeds from the event will be distributed to local nonprofit organizations.

The afternoon will be filled with plenty to see and do, including a pie-eating contest, a car show and more. There will be music all day, including returning rock band Syde 2 and the Dave Mell Blues Band, as well as a disc jockey and karaoke.

There will also be plenty of shopping opportunities from vendors and flea market tables. “We’re looking for vendors; anybody who wants to come and sell can do that,” organizer Kathy Rick said. Vendors will be located along the edges of the park, and they may bring their own pop-up tents.

This year, there will be additional children’s games, including a giant Connect Four, a speed pitch, a Boom Blasters race to see who can pop balloons the fastest, the “all-American rat race” game, basketball and more.

The Parkesburg Lions Club will offer free eye screenings for children all day.

Additionally, visitors are encouraged to visit the car show area and vote for their favorite to win the day’s prize.

New this year will be an escape room. For a small fee, groups may sign up

on-site for 20-minute sessions. All other activities will be free.

Folks may enjoy a meal or a cool treat from food trucks offering barbecue, hamburgers, hot dogs and frozen ices. A large tent will be available for dining in the shade.

“The park is big; we can fit lots of things in there. I’m hoping every year we can add something different,” Rick said.

To wrap up the evening, visitors may bring their lawn chairs or blankets to enjoy everyone’s favorite fireworks display at dusk.

Anyone who would like to participate as a vendor or reserve a space in the flea market is asked to call Rick in advance at 484-798-3273. Advance registration for the car show is also appreciated, but not necessary.

The event will take place rain or shine, with some activities, such as the car show, curtailed if weather is a problem. Minch Park is located along West Street between Second and Fourth avenues.

Parking will be available in the municipal lot on West Street, opposite the Parkesburg Library.

The newly renovated Keystone Valley Fire Department central station was completed in the fall of 2018 at the cost of nearly $2.7 million. It is a staple within the community and a centerpiece for the redevelopment of the local business district in Parkesburg. Soon it will be followed by the opening of a major fitness chain, Planet Fitness.

An integral part of the KVFD renovation project was a partnership with VFW. With the VFW’s assistance, a newly constructed Veterans Memorial Garden was built in the front of the building. This area will commemorate all local veterans who have perished in every major conflict; will contain a 9/11 memorial to recognize the tragic events of Sept. 11, 2001; and will recognize local firefighters who have lost their lives in the line of duty.

KVFD was formed in March 2013 with the consolidation of the Parkesburg, Pomeroy and Atglen fire companies. KVFD provides fire, rescue and ambulance service to approximately 23 square miles, serving more than 7,500 residents.
