The Copley Heritage Day Festival will return this year on Saturday, August 7th from 12:00 to 7:00 PM at Copley Community Park. While the event will be somewhat modified due to current COVID19 restrictions, most of your favorites will return to welcome back the Copley township community after what seems like far too long!
The Heritage Day Committee is looking for volunteers to assist with planning this year's event. This is a HUGE undertaking and will require some seasoned volunteers to ensure its success! Whether you are a front lint "go-getter" or a "behind the scenes" worker, there is an opportunity waiting for you! Volunteers are needed to assist with organizing the vendors and their spaces, raffles, tournaments, parking, a community art project, baking contest, beer tent, kids zone, games, set-up and take-down of canopies and tables, and so much more... the opportunities are endless! Students who volunteer 4 hours or more will receive a $10.00 food voucher.
Watch for more information and a schedule of events on the Township website or Facebook page. To volunteer, please contact Beth Siddall at Copley Town Hall, bsiddall@copley.oh.us or 330-666-1853.
