The Rotary Club of North Penn has begun planning its annual outdoor Lansdale Day celebration on Main Street, downtown Lansdale, PA. This event is held annually on the first Saturday in June and is the club’s major fundraiser for the year. The proceeds from this successful event are donated to local charities in the North Penn community. This year, a significant portion of the proceeds were given to the Peak Center’s ongoing Capital Campaign and new building fund.  Recipients from the past few years include: Community Housing, Cradle of Liberty Council–BSA, Foundation Free Enterprise Education, Hatfield Area Little League, Lansdale Performing Arts Center, Laurel House, Manna on Main Street, Mission Kids, Montgomery Co. Assoc. for the Blind, Multiple Sclerosis Society, North Penn Scholarship Awards, North Penn Valley Boys & Girls Club, North Penn Visiting Nurses Assoc., North Penn YMCA, North Wales Library, RSVP of Montgomery Co., The Peak Center, Variety Club, and Volunteer Medical Service Corp.  

The main attractions for this wonderful event include: an Antiques & Arts Festival, with a juried invitational showcase of fine artists, selected artisans and antique dealers; a Community Marketplace, which is an ideal place to network with various local businesses or civic organizations; and Pet Alley, dedicated to pet related items and organizations. In addition, there will be delectable food from many local restaurants, great music and entertainment on our main stage and fun activities throughout the day. The expected attendance for this event is in excess of 5,000 visitors.

This year's event is being co-chaired by Bob Law and Tony Jannetta and, again, our show manager for fifteen years is Stephanie L Seidner at SLS Productions, Inc. Direct all questions and/or inquiries to our show manager at slsshow@aol.com.

We invite all members of the community and all area businesses to become involved in this event. Opportunities range from renting a booth space to various levels of sponsorship or advertising your business in our Show/Advertising/Event Guide published by Montgomery Newspapers and The Reporter. We need your help to make our event a success and are looking forward to your participation in this unique one-day celebration.
