Hillsdale Community Day on August 7

Mark your calendars! On Saturday, August 7, the 2010 Hillsdale Community Day will be held 12 noon to 10 PM at the former Roe Jan School.

HIGHLIGHTS FROM LAST YEAR:

Over 1600 visitors stopped by at Community Day in 2009, even with the extreme heat. By offering a chance to win $100.00 in free gas to all attendees, we were able to track attendance. We are still hearing about the “sense of community” that people felt while strolling through the many tents visiting their neighbors and supporting our vendors. Proceeds from the day were donated to the Hillsdale Fire Company, Community Rescue Squad and the Roe Jan Food Pantry.

THIS YEAR: FIREWORKS!

In addition to the vendor’s area, the children’s tent, the bounce house, the kid’s maze trailer, all day entertainment-including live music, as well as physical comedian Pat Ferri, merchant raffle, and all day food, this year we will be adding many new attractions. We will have a FIREMAN’S MUSTER starting at 2 PM. The Hillsdale Fire Company will have a BEEF BBQ starting at 5 PM, DJ and KARAOKE entertainment at 7pm, and a grand finale for the day will be a FIREWORKS DISPLAY at 9:30 pm.  We encourage all vendors to stay and enjoy the evening with us as we expect a big crowd for the evening’s events.

Vendors who wish to participate should contact Richard Briggs ASAP. Space will be reserved on a first come first serve basis. If you have any questions please feel free to contact me at my home at (518) 325- 3098 or   richie3423 [richie3423 #AT# aol.com].

We are looking forward to a very exciting Community Day this year!
