HD Entertainment will set the mood with lively music, ensuring a fantastic atmosphere for all attendees. And when hunger strikes, indulge in a variety of treats from local favorites like Mr. Y’s Shaved Ice and the PA Dairyman’s Association’s milkshake truck, alongside Kiwanis’ classic hot dogs and pretzels. Newcomers The Mexican Food Truck, The Sweet Patch, and The Lucky Truck will also be serving up delicious fare.

Adventure in Fun returns with face painting and balloon animals, promising magical memories for kids of all ages. Plus, don’t miss special appearances by Pete the Cat, Clifford, and Froggy, courtesy of the Thunderbolt Association. United Athletics will provide tumbling fun, and each ACLS branch will showcase upcoming programs and activities.

Explore over 50 local organizations offering crafts and activities, including a booth providing Missing Child information and fingerprinting services. Gettysburg Picnics will host a standalone photo display, offering the perfect backdrop for cherished snapshots.

And here’s the cherry on top: you could win a magical children’s-themed birthday party at the library! Visit the ACLS Card Sign-Up table at FunFest to purchase tickets at $5 each, 3 for $10, or 10 for $20. The prize includes a special story time with Children’s Librarian Robyn Woods. Winners need not be present to win; the announcement will be at 7 PM.
