Melancthon Township has always celebrated its Anniversary with a party at the Horning’s Mills Community Park in June.
Community and beyond has gathered for a fun late afternoon event that brings hundreds to the hamlet’s recreation park.
BBQ, musical performances, bouncy castles , kids’ games and first responders. The evening was finalized with a spectacular fireworks display.
Then came the pandemic.
On Saturday June 25th,
The community will gather again at the Park and celebrate.
The day will start at the Horning’s Mills Community Hall (Main St. and River Rd.) with a vendors’ market that will run from 10:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m.
Activities will then shift to the Horning’s Mills Park (15th Sideroad & Main St), starting at 3:00 p.m.
These activities will include a First Responder Challenge that will see firefighters, paramedics and others compete against each other in a tug-of-war and obstacle course.
A Bouncy Castle will entertain the kids, as well as an activity area, games, and the Park playground.
Melancthon Township firefighters will host a BBQ, with all proceeds going to the Fire halls.
