Bloomsburg Fair to Feature Several Chamber Members, Including Some Proceeds Going to Ronald McDonald House of Danville

The Bloomsburg Fair preview day luncheon

The Bloomsburg Fair held its annual fair preview luncheon on Wednesday, Sept. 6, and announced several new exhibits and participants in this year’s fair, which include several Chamber members.

On Tuesday, Sept. 26, for every regular-priced $8 admission ticket sold, $1 will go to benefit the Ronald McDonald House of Danville and its mission to provide a “home-away-from-home” for parents and families of children who are hospitalized or receiving outpatient care for the treatment of cancer and other serious illnesses. Children under the age of 18 will be admitted free on this day. 

New this year, PPL Electric Utilities will host a live line exhibit out of its trailer on 11th St. near the Sky Ride, which will feature “sparks, flames and crackle” that comes from electrical contact. Intended to show attendees the danger of and teach safety around electrical wires, the exhibit will feature a smaller-scaled version of utility poles and live wires, and will show what can happen when objects come in contact with 7,200 electrical volts. Daily demonstrations will take place and will last about 20 minutes.

WBRE-TV will be at the fair through its duration and will have live broadcasts and the opportunity for patrons to stop by and meet the Eyewitness News Team. 

Among the nearly 1,000 vendors signed up to participate at the fair, they include Chamber members such as Bason Coffee Roasting, 3B Consultant Services, the Columbia Montour Area Agency on Aging, the Columbia Montour Visitors Bureau, J.A. Aten Beef Jerky & Best Bar-B-Q Sauce, Mahindra of Bloomsburg, Luzerne County Community College, Renco Ace Hardware, Steph’s Subs, Wesley United Methodist Church and AGAPE Love From Above To our Community
