On Saturday, Sept. 27 from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m., Warwick County Park will be hosting Community Day in partnership with South Coventry, Warwick and East Nantmeal Townships.
This first time event is designed to be a fun-filled, interactive and educational day. Learn, play and explore with craft vendors & local artists, entertainers, educators, non-profit organizations, school groups and more.
County residents and neighbors will learn much about the various artistic, recreational and not-for-profit associations they may not realize exist in their own backyard.
The Friends of Warwick County Park, St. Peters Bakery and Laurel Locks Ice Cream will provide food concessions, and displays, activities and performances are scheduled throughout the day.
Musical performances include Spirit Wing, a contemporary Native American Folk group, that combines harmony vocals, guitars, and the Native American flute with stories; children’s performer Miss Maggie who combines singing, guitar, percussion, poems and stories to entertain and teach children of all ages; and the Owen J Roberts Middle School marching band, led by Director Jason Hess.
Additional entertainment and activities planned include a performance by Dance One Studios, vendor demonstrations, ranger-led hikes, pony rides, wagon rides, portrait drawings, emergency equipment display, health screenings, face painting, zumba, orienteering, and archery.
Community Day will serve as a drop off location for two local charities. Conventry Food Pantry’s Weekend Backpack Program wishes for pasta sauce, fruit, jelly, side dishes, canned pasta & meat, peanut butter, and paper products. “In Ian’s Boots” is collecting gently used shoes, winter boots and soccer cleats. In addition, the Chester County SPCA will have dogs available for adoption.
Parking and admission are free. The event is sponsored by the Chester County Board of Commissioners, Facilities & Parks Department, Friends of Warwick County Park, and South Coventry, Warwick and East Nantmeal Townships.
