Presented by the Hellertown-Lower Saucon Chamber of Commerce, the one-day festival will include a large vendor fair–with many local businesses and organizations represented at booths–along with food, entertainment, rides, games, children’s activities, a car show and the presentation of awards to this year’s honorees: Macarro Auction Company, Hellertown Area Library and The Valley Voice.
There will also be a grand prize drawing to win Lehigh Valley IronPigs tickets as well as a jar filled with Mike and Ike candies at the Chamber table. Guests who correctly guess the number of candies in the jar could win Lehigh Valley Zoo tickets.
