Terre Hill Days Planned
"We are glad to be back in full swing," said John Styer, coordinator of the Terre Hill Days events held each summer. "There will be a lot of new and exciting things to check out, and we will have something for everyone." Styer pointed out that this year's entertainment will offer something different each night. "Come back and check us out every evening and bring your friends," he encouraged.
Styer and the other organizers are planning for many new entertainers to grace the park stages during 2022. This year's Terre Hill Days will be held in the Terre Hill Park, 210 Lancaster Ave., Terre Hill, on Thursday through Sunday, July 14 through 17. Events will open at 5 p.m. on July 14 and Friday, July 15, and at 9 a.m. on Saturday, July 16. A church service and gathering will begin at 10:30 a.m. on July 17.
"On Thursday night, we have Jesse Rothacker and the Forgotten Friend Reptile Show at 7 p.m.," said Styer, who noted that local musician Jim Connors will also entertain that same evening at 7 p.m. "(Connors) plays a variety of instruments, and he will be doing classic rock on the main stage." On July 15, the car cruise will be held at 6 p.m. "No charge for entry or participation," said Styer. "We always have a nice turnout and a variety of vehicles on display." Also on July 15, Mr. Sneakers will do magic at 6:30 p.m., and Mitch and the Mood Swings will play at 7 p.m. "On Saturday, at 11 a.m., we have Christian music band Heaven Bound," said Styer, who noted that New Orleans-style brass band Dutchyfunk will play at 2 p.m. At 4 p.m. on July 16, J-Thyme, a bluegrass band, will play, followed by Magic by Andrew at 6 p.m. The headliner for July 16 will be country music band Michael Christopher at 6:30 p.m. That evening will conclude with a fireworks display at 10 p.m.
Other event activities Styer pointed out include the arts and crafts fair beginning at 9 a.m. on July 16 and the airplane candy scramble that afternoon at 3:30 p.m. "We will have carnival rides all three nights," said Styer, who added that an archery game and an ax-throwing challenge in an enclosed trailer will also be available to play.
Terre Hill Days is known for bringing "fair food" in trucks and trailers to Terre Hill. This year, food stands will include those selling Mexican food, make-your-own snow cones, dessert-style doughnuts, ice cream, fried Oreos, and funnel cakes. As in the past, the pavilion food stand will sell sausage sandwiches, soup, hamburgers, and hot dogs.
On July 17, after the church service in the park, a community picnic will be held at noon. Terre Hill Days will provide hot dogs and beverages, and attendees are invited to bring a salad, hot dish, or dessert to share. The pavilion will be open for food items that need to be refrigerated or to plug in slow cookers. Entertainment during the picnic will be provided by Glenn Miller's One Man Band, which will begin playing at noon.
