Sculptor Dale Rogers' The Big Dog Show is coming to New Bethlehem during the Peanut Butter Festival, the first in PA!
It is an art and charity event. 12 8'x10' steel American dogs will be placed in the open area in front of New Bethlehem Town Center and will be decorated by our Redbank Valley Days of Giving charities and 2 by sponsors. Visitors can vote on their favorites and win a prize. Charities will have information tables and donation jars in the New Bethlehem Town Center hallways where you can learn more about each of the charities. There will also be prizes, raffles, t-shirts, art contests, photo opportunities, an indoor art show and more. T-shirt sponsors are welcomed. Message or call 724-664-4754 for more information.
The Show is brought here by The Gallery at New Bethlehem Town Center, Redbank Renaissance and the Redbank Valley Trails Association, Edward Jones-Office of Brendan Allison and Courtney Snow and possibly other sponsors. We're currently looking for match fund sponsors to add a percentage to amounts donated to charities.
The Show has appeared in 22 states since 2009 raising over $500,000 for local charities. Come see the show, take photos and support your local charities. Thanks for your support!

Thanks to our great and dedicated volunteers the downed trees near Lawsonham on the main trail and the Sligo Spur have been removed.
If anyone knows who damaged the gates on the Sligo Spur, please report it to the Clarion office of the State Police. $100 reward when vandals are convicted. The Trail is for non-motorized use. Damage to trail property is wrong and will not be tolerated. It's so disheartening for our volunteers. When our cameras catch the culprits they will be prosecuted to the full extent of the law. Thank you to our trail users.
