July 14th & 15th 2007

Due to increasing costs and decreasing attendance at our annual carnivals, we at the South Connellsville volunteer fire company have decided that future carnivals are no longer in our price range. We have decided to try something a little different this year by combining several things that have brought the community out and we believe was a good time by all.

Starting this year, along with the support of the Borough we are looking to start an annual event at the playground for two consecutive days ( July 14th and 15th ) during the day for families and friends from the surrounding area to get together, have some fun, enjoy some games, food and activities at the playground and the fire station. Arts and crafts vendors will have the opportunity to set-up tables as well as a flea market for the two day event.

Our planning so far this year includes:

  1. Life flight will make an appearance and be onsite for what ever time is allowable ( times and day are dependant on how busy they are.)
  2. Dunk tank
  3. music
  4. fire safety/ rescue demonstrations
  5. concession stand will be open
  6. flea market {both days} want to get rid of your stuff? bring it up call us for space
  7. arts and crafts { both days} want to sell your crafts or handiwork? call us for space
  8. open house at fire station
  9. coloring contest for the children
  10. parade {Sat. noon}
  11. Car and truck show {15th} Bikes also welcome
  12. No registration fees but donations to fire company are asked.

hopefully some other things will come up as we get to planning. If anyone has ideas please send us an email or contact one of our members.

We are looking for someone to do face painting and or airbushing, tattooes, a clown or something along these lines
