This year\u2019s annual Tyrone Area Community Day scheduled on Friday, August 1 at DelGrosso\u2019s Amusement Park, has potential to be the best community picnic yet.
\nThere will be special events and prizes for all Tyrone area residents to win, and all of Tyrone area youth are invited to ride and slide for free. This includes all pre-school, elementary, junior and senior high school youth (through 2008 graduates) in the Tyrone area.
\nThe special events throughout the day will include: a Tyrone Talent Search, chicken barbecue, Tyrone community raffle and a mini-golf tournament.
\nThe Joshua House looks to kick things off this year with a Champion Mini-golf Tournament at 10 a.m., which is open to youth in Kindergarten through 12th grades.
\nThere are three different age groups for the tournament: K-5, 6-8 and 9-12 grades.
\nFrom 10:30 a.m. until 6 p.m., Albemarle will present the ride pass distribution. This includes all day ride and slide passes to Tyrone\u2019s youth. Residents may find the stand at the Red and White Tent adjoining Pavilion No. 3.
\nAt 2 p.m., the children will have a chance to compete for prizes in Pavilion No. 3. Kids will see how long they can last in the hula-hoop contest and see how smelly their feet are in the smelly sneaker contest. There will be many more games at the pavilion, so don\u2019t forget to bring your children down for some fun and games.
\nFrom 4 to 4:30 p.m., Status dance team will perform at Midway by Murf\u2019s Kitchen.
\nDance Fusion will pick up the second half of the dancing from 4:30 to 5:30 p.m., as they will perform on the main stage beside the pavilions.
\nThings will settle down a bit from 5 to 6:30 p.m. as residents are invited to a chicken barbecue. Advance tickets will be available at the Tyrone Chamber, Daily Herald and Gardners Candies July 7. Don\u2019t miss out on the great meal!
\nHave a special talent? Show off your tricks or talents at the Tyrone Talent Search around 6 p.m. A special prize will be given to the winner of the show.
\nThe divisions for the show are: Pre-school-4 grade, 5-8 grade, 9-12 grade, adult-39 and 40 and over.
