The Tenth Anniversary of "Trappe Community Day" will be hosted by Trappe Borough on Saturday, September 14, 2013 (with a rain date of September 21).  The day's events will be held at Water Works Park, 230 W. First Ave. in Trappe.  The Opening Ceremony will take place on the Main Stage at 10:00 AM with Lori O'Lock singing the National Anthem.  The day's events end at 4:30 PM.

Throughout the day several bands will perform including CMS', Bailout Adult Jazz Ensemble, Rock & Roll After School Super Group, Jeff Umbhauer & his seven-piece Americana-infused style group, starting at 2:00 PM.  Also on stage (at 12:30 PM) will be world-class Magician & Illusionist, Clive Allen, who will dazzle and mystify young and not-so-young alike.  Also to delight the crowd will be Gene Galligan, bringing his Musical Puppet Show to life at 2:00 PM at the Children's Pavilion.

Children will have much to enjoy throughout the day including activities such as "Bette's Bounce" inflatables, a Rock Climbing Wall and Bungee Jump, face-painting, clowns, "What-Knott Petting Zoo," "Happy Hoofer Pony Rides" (noon - 3:00 PM).  In addition, the Trappe Fire Company & EMS Team will be on hand to allow youngsters the opportunity to explore a real fire engine.  "Screw Ball," Mascot for Reading Phillies, and "Scoops," Mascot for Bruster's Ice Cream will be present for part of the day.

"Bring your Talented Pooch," held at 1:30 PM on the Main Stage, is a chance to enjoy the skills of local dogs & their trainers.  Doggy Talent Contest prizes will be awarded by Perk Valley Pet Eatery.

Local businesses and non-profits will make available literature on their products and/or services, and local restaurants and food vendors will offer some of your favorite foods and refreshments throughout the park!

Bring the whole family to enjoy a FREE, fun-filled community day!  Hope to see you there!!!
