Our friends at Code Blue and Positively Pottstown! have teamed up to run a 50/50 raffle at Memorial Park on Saturday July 3. 2 lucky winners will split 50% of the pot with the remainder going to the July 4th committee. Tickets will be available near the sound booth where we will be selling the souvenir caps, daily number calenders, and the Senior Citizen car chances.

What will you win?

Souvenir Caps!

A long time ago, the committee wanted to honor the Little League’s All-Star game players with official July 4th caps. In 1985, the committee started selling them to the public. Over the years they have become a treasured collectible. The original price of $5.00 is still kept, to allow the most a chance to help the committee raise funds. They are purchased directly from the manufacturer to maximize the profit, just like Wal-Mart. You may purchase at Memorial Park on Friday, July 2, or along the parade route on Saturday, July 3. The chances of getting one of these after the parade is slim. Here is this years’ edition:

Wild Animals at Memorial Park

Pottstown has always had some wildlife, and Saturday July 3 will be no different. The Red Creek Wildlife Raptor will be appearing at the park and will be bringing native Pennsylvania species and have an informative and educational display.

Rubber ducks and wild game. One might say this is…….out of the box.
