It's going to be a patriotic First Friday!

     There's a great thing about living in a small community.  We as a group take pride in who we are as a people.  We are free, able to move around as we please, able to join groups, protest the government, and worship whatever god or deity we believe in.  We are able to buy cars and goods from foreign companies that have established operations here, and have become a livelihood for so many in our country.  This is what puts the "US" in USA!  

     We are a nation of different folks from all over, but we all should be proud to be American.  This First Friday occurs a day before we celebrate the 4th, so we will make it a weekend of patriotic celebration here in our small community!  

     The Downtown Business Council is calling it "Stars, Stripes & Straws"  and there are going to be SUMMERTIME DRINKS!  All types of lemonades and iced teas will be available for tasting, and you can vote for your favorite!  There will also be live music on the square.

We can't wait!

As usual, we will be set up on the square with some new vehicles to check out.  We just got a few 2016 Maximas in, so we MIGHT be able to bring one of them if they don't all disappear before then!  Come on down and see us, and all the other vendors downtown for some good old fashioned small town revelry, patriotism, and thirst quenching.  

It's already First Friday for June!

It's that time again, already the 2nd First Friday of the season!  We'll be down on the square in Chambersburg enjoying speaking with folks that stop by our tent, and enjoying the samplings of our downtown businesses!  You really should take a little time to come downtown and enjoy all the fun stuff that's going on!.

The theme for this First Friday is Health & Wellness, so there will be ALL kinds of fun activities going on around the downtown area.  We'll be set up on the square where there will be a Zumba class for FREE, and music directly afterwards!

Our health awareness message will focus on texting while driving.  SERIOUSLY.  We can put the phones down while we drive can't we?  It's one thing to eat, watch tv, walk, or even play hopscotch while texting....but operating 2000lbs of metal flying down the road and staring down  at a phone while going 50mph IS INSANE!  Please just stop doing it!  Think if a loved one was hurt or killed by someone that could have avoided it easily by not responding back to their friend with "OK" and had just been paying attention.  It's.  That.  Easy.

Now, on with the festivities!

Here's a breakdown from the Downtown Business Council.
