Thank you for helping make a difference for students in the Carlisle area!

Carlisle Summerfair is looking for a representative from the college to serve on its governing board. Established in 1977, Carlisle Summerfair was the brainchild of the late Wayne Powell, formerly of The Sentinel. He wanted something for the families in the area to do over the Fourth of July. The board of directors is made up entirely of volunteers from throughout the greater Carlisle area. Some represent businesses while others serve as community volunteers. The goal is to offer free, family friendly events around the 4th of July holiday for the Carlisle area.

With the generous support of many of our great business sponsors, they are able to put on over 35 events each year over about a week-long period of time that include things like baby races, a kid’s carnival, mini-golf tournament, the Harrisburg Symphony concerts, open swimming pool nights, fishing derby, historical tours and many other events.

Board meetings are held on campus, the first Monday of every month from 4-5 p.m. Reach out to Jennifer Love with any interest and for more information.
