ANNUAL JULY 4TH COMMUNITY CELEBRATION PLANNED
Carroll Valley Commons Hosts Event for Area Residents
Carroll Valley Borough, in partnership with Fairfield Borough, Liberty Township, Hamiltonban Township, and various community organizations such as the Carroll Valley Citizens Association and businesses such as Adams Electric, Liberty Mountain Resort & Conference Center, Comcast, and Glass Electric are finalizing plans for the Annual July 4th Community Celebration. This ‘Ole Fashioned Picnic is held on the grounds of Carroll Commons in Carroll Valley and has drawn attendance from the entire tri-state area.
There’s plenty of fun for the whole family; enjoy the car and motorcycle show, listen to good music, play a game or two of bingo, join the horseshoe tournament, watch the softball tournament, enter a team in the volleyball tournament, take a hayride around the park and see what was fashionable in 1865. It’s all at the July 4th Picnic being held on Friday, July 4, 2008. Rain date will be Saturday, July 5th. The event starts at 10:00 am and ends with Fireworks at dusk. See the Full Schedule of Events below.
Children’s activities include make-n-take crafts, rubber ducky races, sack races, water balloon tosses, tug-o-war challenges and more. Again, this year we will have the Moon Bounce Ride and the 20-foot Inflatable Giant Shark Slide, Ultimate T-Ball, the Golf Putting Contest, Pie Baking Contest and much, much more…. New this year is a Football Obstacle Course, Climbing Wall and Strawberry Hill Nature Center’s “Mr. Eddy” will introduce young and old to several of his reptile friends. Great Fun for the whole family, parking and admission is FREE…Bring your family, your friends, and your neighbors. Pack your picnic basket or stop by the food court located on the picnic grounds for some local specialties. The evening will bring more great music, a patriotic sing-a-along, a formal flag retreat ceremony and conclude with FIREWORKS launched from atop Ski Liberty Mountain.…Hope to see you there!
