Charlestown Day 2014 at Charlestown Park

Laura Assayag, Neighbor

The Charlestown Township Parks and Recreation announces Charlestown Day 2014 will be held October 4th, 2014 at Charlestown Park. The vision for the day is to encourage our community to join together for a day of wellness, community spirit and to enjoy the beauty of our township, park and neighbors.  

The day will kick off with a 5K run/walk around beautiful Charlestown Township. The run is geared to runners of all ages and will go through the beautiful rural countryside of Charlestown Township. There will also be a 1 mile fun run/walk which will go through the township park.  A Kids' Dash will take place after the 5k. Prizes will be awarded for all 3 events by age group.

Charlestown Day 2014 activities will be held from 10:00am to 2:00pm at the Charlestown Township Park where the community will enjoy many vendors displaying their goods, local non-profit organizations, music, food, Kid Zone activities and demonstrations. There will be lots of fun activities including bouncy houses, pony rides, petting zoo, hay rides and lots more!
