 Connellsville's
Timber Day Celebration is a Community Festival, celebrating the beauty
of the Laurel Highlands, and spotlighting Pennsylvania's Timber Industry.
This event was held one day only Saturday, August 30th and is now
in its eleventh year and takes place at Yough River Park, on the bank
of the beautiful Youghiogheny River.
The 2008
Celebration not only showcased a Great Timbersport Competition but
also (Back by Popular Demand!) a Parade
through Connellsville! Also Craft & Food Booths were open All
Day as well as Kids Games by Amusement World, Face Painting, a Basket
Chinese Auction, a Car Cruise, and a Concert by the ever-popular Kortney
Jean & Stampede, and a Fireworks Extravaganza at Dusk!
Below was
the Official Event Schedule for 2008. Check back often for the upcoming
2009 Official Timber Day Celebration Schedule!
