Cameron County Community Chest 2025 Fund Drive – January Update

Cameron County Community Chest 2025 Fund Drive – January Update 

 Through January 31st, we have collected $14,419 toward our goal of $16,600. Thanks to all who have contributed. This drive will run through September 30, 2025. This month, we would like to feature the Super Weekend/Second Saturday Summer Concert Series Committee.

Several years ago, the Cameron County Project identified “Super Weekend” as a community event residents identified as nostalgic, iconic and they desired to bring it back. Five years ago, we held the first Super Saturday event. The third year it turned into a Super Weekend event. Sadly after four years, we regret to announce that we will not be having the Super Weekend event this year. There are many different circumstances behind this decision.

The committee decided they would like to see the “Second Saturday Summer Concert Series” grow this year. Second Saturdays will be from June through September. 

Each Second Saturday will start out with the Farmers Market 9 to noon. 

June and July, there will be food and beverage trucks starting at 5 PM and a band from 6 to 9 PM. 

A local youth booster club will help with setup and clean up at these two events and have a fund raiser that day. 

We plan to make August's Second Saturday a full day in Emporium.

 Farmers Market & Project Pedal Bike Race starting out the morning, 

Smoker Logging Blow- ups, food truck, music and other activities in the afternoon, then moving to Broad Street for the Corn Hole Tournament, Food Truck and Band at 5 PM. 

September's Second Saturday will be a full day in Driftwood.

 Noon to 6 PM – music, food, ice cream and beverage trucks,

 Smokers blow-ups and other kid activities, KECA will have information on the Elk Rut. More information on the events will come out as we get closer to the days.

These events would not be possible without the generosity of local individuals, businesses, and organizations. They provide funds, sponsorships and grants to cover the costs of the events. These donations are put into a special fund account to be used for these activities as approved by the Cameron County Community Chest board of directors.

If you would like to donate to the Special Entertainment fund to keep these activities/events going, you can make a check payable to Cameron County Community Chest and designate the “Special Entertainment Fund” in the Memo.

General fund contributions are always appreciated and help support the Recreation Board, Community Nurses, Red Cross, Friends of the Library, the Package Team, the Garden Club, and Special Community Requests.

No donation/memorial is too small. Please send your tax-deductible contribution to: Cameron County Community Chest, PO Box 134, Emporium, PA 15834, Attn: Judd Schager.
