INE LEVEL — The small town of Pine Level is gearing up to celebrate its 150th anniversary with a series of events that will take place throughout 2023. The township was established in 1873 and with the town's rich history and vibrant community, this milestone anniversary promises to be an unforgettable experience for all who attend. The town's celebration website, www.pinelevel150.org, serves as the hub for all information regarding the upcoming events, which include their annual Firemen’s Day, which was held on May 20, July 4 festivities, the official 150th anniversary celebration on Sept. 16, a fall festival on Oct. 28, the annual Christ-
mas tree lighting on Dec. 1 and the Christmas parade on Dec. 10. The celebrations will include free, family-friendly activities as well as live music, food trucks, vendors and recognition of longtime businesses. For July 4 The Malpass Brothers will perform; and for the 150th anniversary celebration on Sept. 16, live beach music from The Band of Oz, The Embers and Jim Quick & the Coastline can be expected. In addition to showcasing the town's history, the website provides opportunities for community members to participate in the events. Pine Level is currently seeking sponsors, craft vendors and food trucks for both the July 4 and Sept. 16 events. This is a great
opportunity for local businesses to support the community and gain exposure at the same time. "We are excited to celebrate this incredible milestone with our community and visitors from near and far," said Pine Level Mayor Jeff Holt. "We encourage everyone to visit our website and learn more about the upcoming events, and we welcome anyone interested
in participating as a sponsor, vendor or food truck to apply through our website." Pine Level's 150th anniversary celebrations are not to be missed, so everyone is encouraged to mark their calendars and join in the festivities.
