The 2011 Picnic yielded over 400 members of the community in attendance. We are looking to have even more this year. So mark your calendars for September 13, for a day of community fun on Main Street and a great, affordable meal!

Community fun!

In the past, the United Way has gathered community leaders to participate in the annual Celebrity Bake-off, baking sweets and treats and creating a cookbook for the community. This year, community leaders will assist in helping with the picnic as well as participating in the Celebrity Bake-off, all in the same two-block section of Main Street!

Please contact us at Center City if you would like to participate in this fun and exciting community event!

Great Food, Great times!
