The Tyrone-Snyder Township Public Library released today some of the additional activities that will be part of the seventh annual fund raising concert event.
\nIn addition to an absolutely great evening of entertainment, there are always some really nice activities and prizes that become available for those in attendance. This year will be no different. These annual concerts are the ways that the library raises the much-needed funds in order to offset the annual mortgage payments on the new library building in Tyrone.
\nSlightly before the new library opened its doors for the first time seven years ago, a fund raising goal activity was developed in order to help raise an additional $100,000 to help meet the financial demands of a new library. In particular the mortgage payment. The six previous concerts have been very successful in this area by currently raising over $53,000 towards that magic figure.
\nWhat started out to be a simple fund raising attempt has blossomed now into a community event that benefits many other businesses in the area.
\n\u201cThe previous six concerts have brought people in from Hagerstown, Maryland, Syracuse, New York, Pittsburgh, Harrisburg, Lancaster, Morgantown, West Virginia and all over central Pennsylvania,\u201d offered Chuck Banas, library concert chairman. \u201cJust this past week I received a call from a woman in Camp Hill, Pennsylvania to order four tickets for this year\u2019s concert. After I took her order, I asked if she would like to know who was all performing in the show. Her response was simply, \u2018No, I have been to the last four in a row and they have all been terrific. I am sure that this one will be no different,\u2019\u201d added Banas.
\nThere is a quilt that is being raffled off that will be given away to some lucky person. Positively Heaven Quilt Shop has donated this beautiful quilt to the library. Raffle tickets are currently available for purchase at the library and will also be available at the annual concert event on Saturday evening, April 19 at the Tyrone Area High School auditorium. The quilt is currently on display in the library.
\nIn addition to the quilt, a very nice tea and spice basket will be given away to some lucky person in attendance that evening.
\n\u201cI want to thank Joe Doyle, owner of Tea Merchant 101 in Duncansville, for his continued support of the Tyrone-Snyder Township Public Library. This is the third year in a row that Joe has been there for us and we greatly appreciate all of his efforts,\u201d said Banas.
\nLocated in the Olde Farm Office Centre on Route 22 in Duncansville, Tea Merchant 101 has an unbelievable selection of teas.
\n\u201cOne of the neatest things about Joe and Tea Merchant 101 is the tremendous atmosphere with the many different sights, sounds and aromas available,\u201d concluded Banas.
\nThere will be a few other surprises in store for those in attendance at this year\u2019s annual concert. You will have to be there to take advantage of these activities.
\nThis year\u2019s concert curtain is set to go up on Saturday evening, April 19 at the Tyrone Area High School auditorium. Doors will openly promptly at 6:30 p.m. and the show will begin at 7 p.m. sharp.
\nTickets are now on sale at the following ticket locations: Bressler\u2019s Food Mart & Sports, Kopp Drug in Tyrone and the Tyrone-Snyder Township Public Library. Tickets may also be ordered by telephone by calling a special ticket order number at 814-682-1017 during regular library operating hours.
\nMore information will follow concerning this year\u2019s big event. The Daily Herald will continue to bring weekly updates on this year\u2019s concert, including a truly unbelievable announcement next Saturday.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
