Dear Friends in Cambria County:
For two days this September on Saturday the 14th and Sunday the 15th 2024 we invite you and your community to join with others as we recreate a moment lost in time. A time to show case our history, and our progress forward to where we are today. We want to invite anyone and everyone to show case our Cambria County History. The event will take place at Duman Park north of route 422 on route 271. The park will be divided into segments including music, sports, war re-enactments, static displays of history, educational stages, food vendors, arts & craft vendors, living historical displays, and much more. Please consider sending a representative to our event to show case your history and highlights.
We welcome 4-H groups, FFA, ethnic groups, Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts, farmers, loggers, musicians, musical group, churches, historical groups, Police and fire departments and their antique vehicles and others who are proud to say “I live in Cambria County.”
There is no fee for non-profit organizations.
County libraries this is a great way to show case your mission, and what you offer to your community.
We are asking county agencies to join us also. This is a venue to show the public what it is you do and how you can continue to assist them.
This is going to provide an opportunity to not only show case your past but also show case your community today and its future. We encourage our townships, our cities, and towns, and municipalities to join us as we come together to show case Cambria County. Our goal is to market the event in Pittsburgh, Sate College, Altoona and other locations.
Please feel free to share this information. We are seeking those individuals and groups who would like to be a part of this history making event. Also note, we are in need of volunteers to help on that day. If you know of anyone or groups who would like to help out, please contact us at the numbers listed above.
