2024 Upper Perk Hometown 4th of July Celebration

Hello Fellow Rotarians!

Please mark your calendars and come help us with our club's biggest fundraiser. The more help we have, the less work for everyone else.

We are looking to make some big changes this year with the schedule, to the extent it may free up some time to relax in the early afternoon unless we find more events to run. Moving forward, we hope to fill this time with other events however, that is all based on the amount of help we have.

Couple changes so far for this year: Car Show moving from afternoon to morning, foodtruck times will change (which may lessen the need for as much kitchen help), Pennsburg UCC doing carnival games again but also moving from afternoon to morning, etc.. I will keep people posted as we confirm more stuff. As always, if you have any ideas and how to implement them, please do not hesitate to reach out to me so we can look into it.
