Come join us in celebrating the 250th Anniversary of our Independence!

We will be celebrating this historic milestone on Friday, July 10th, to coincide with our Fireman’s Carnival. www.facebook.com/events/884456620629034/?__cft__[0]=AZY4N43D1R24yo60gV5tWka1eKYkkq9He-MdU6S3YouZ0bPhgEa_ZnssDi92cn0EjpjmdhfghXp8uFJNogT7ah1xZdSRXkkue9SJri7s83TchCX2hhrXseOErBzpA6Q_sVDrSQ_mmmheA-MHkJx9si9y&__tn__=q
Come early and set up your chairs or blankets on the New Berlin Commons along Penns Creek, then head up to the Fireman’s Carnival at Liberty and Plum Streets to enjoy everything the carnival has to offer. Around 9:30, make your way back to the Commons to sit back, relax, and enjoy the show!
