Schuylkill Haven Area Business Association is hosting an outdoor wine, art, creative arts and performing arts expose entitled:

WINE, WALK, AND WANDER.

 This event attracted over 700 people last year and will provide local artists with exposure recognition and unlimited selling potential while giving the general public the opportunity to join together with local artistic talent to view and purchase amazing art, taste and buy local wines, enjoy food and musical performances and checkout local stores for special offerings.

 

PLEASE JOIN US FOR A FUN-FILLED EVENING DESIGNED TO PROMOTE THE ARTS IN SCHUYLKILL HAVEN.

 

We are hoping to make our 4th year bigger and better.  Join us to hear the Blues sounds of Sterling Koch. Also this year, M&J Big Band will be back to play in front of the Sovereign Bank and TJ Fitzpatrick…Elvis will be here !!!

There will also be an old-fashioned photo booth as well as some local crafters. Plus, there will be lots of food and the farmer’s market too! We even have a Kiddie Korner this year in Lori’s Angels parking lot with a bounce house, zippy pet, stuff a plush, sand art, and children’s games for those of you who will have children with you.

If you have any questions, please call Vicky Norris at 570-385-2460

 

Friendly safety tips for Summer

Posted on by schuylkillhavenpa

School’s out! The weather is warmer, and that means a lot more foot traffic in town. So, I thought I would take this opportunity to give some friendly pedestrian and car safety reminders.

For pedestrians:

There are crosswalks all throughout town for your safety. To parents, please remind children to use crosswalks and look both ways when crossing. Remember to use caution even at stop signs. When walking at night, remember to wear light-colored clothing so that drivers can see you.

For drivers:

Be alert. There are many younger people out this time of year. Use caution driving through town and look out for pedestrians at crosswalks. Refrain from using cellular phones or anything that would cause distractions.

For bike riders:

Wear proper attire and equipment. If riding at night, take a flashlight. Obey all traffic laws. Make sure to distance yourself from parked vehicles so that you do not get hit by a door when people are getting out of their vehicles.

Enjoy the wonderful weather, but please be careful and use caution when walking, riding, or driving in town. Thank you!
