Event to Raise Funds for Park Renovation Project and Senior Kelsy Lawson

On Saturday, August 16, North Belle Vernon Borough will be sponsoring a double fundraiser to be held at the North Belle Vernon Community Park. The monies raised will go towards both the park renovation project and a BVA High School senior that was recently diagnosed with leukemia.

The Ellsworth Sportsmen's Club in Scenery Hill is holding its 2nd Annual ESC Bike Run on Saturday, August 9. Registration will begin at 11 a.m. at the Cokeburg Dam. The run is less than 100 miles and will end at the ESC Clubhouse where there will be food, entertainment, raffles, and giveaways.

Friends of Dormont Pool invite you to the unveiling of the Johno Prascak painting, titled "Dormont Pool."

Johno is a renowned local artist whose work has been featured in many prominent national venues. The original painting will be on display during the event then offered for sale at auction. Prints of the painting will be available for purchase. The evening will also honor Muriel Moreland for her years of service to the community of Dormont.
