Deadline Approaching for Sidewalk Days

Now in its 42nd year, Sidewalk Days will be held from 8:30 a.m. - 8:30 p.m. on Friday July 10 and from 8:30 a.m. – 5:00 p.m. Saturday July 11. During those two days downtown Greencastle will become an open air market as craft and food vendors join local merchants in setting up sales spaces on the square and along Baltimore and Carlisle Streets.

The registration deadline for vendors is this Friday (June 26). According to Bill Gour, the Executive Director of the Greencastle-Antrim Chamber of Commerce, “it is important for people to sign up by the deadline, because of the time it takes to place all of the vendors. This event keeps getting bigger each year and the time-consuming task of assigning spots to vendors is made much easier if everyone registers on time.”

Anyone interested in taking part in Sidewalk Days, or in just knowing more about the event, should contact the Chamber at 717-597-4610, or via email at info@greencastlepachamber.org.

Participants Sought for Arts Project

Hagerstown has its butterflies. Images in other communities have included cows, shrimps and pigs. Now a committee has been formed to bring castles to the Greencastle-Antrim community. These castles will be decorated by artists who will be sponsored by businesses. Proceeds will benefit the Lilian S. Besore Memorial Library.

It all started when Sandra Tillman-Daniels, who, along with her husband Charlie, owns ACS Precision, contacted Bill Gour, the Executive Director of the Greencastle-Antrim Chamber of Commerce. According to Gour, “Sandra wanted to do something that would draw people into the community, gain exposure for participating artists and businesses and benefit the library.” Daniels and Gour met with Laura Greenlee, the library’s Director and together the three met with John Gamble, President of the Greencastle Area Arts Council.

A committee has been formed and preliminary work on the project is underway. The committee is looking for participation from the community, especially as the need arises for volunteers on various subcommittees. Anyone interested in knowing more about the project is invited to a meeting at the Greencastle-Antrim Chamber of Commerce (217 East Baltimore Street, Greencastle) at 6:00 p.m. on Tuesday, June 30. Please contact the Chamber at info@greencastlepachamber.org or 717-597-4610 for more information or to sign up for the meeting.
