All-Fords Carlisle June 3-5 - 1st Time: FORD PARADE

Carlisle All Ford Nationals
June 3-5 2011

The Downtown Carlisle Association announced today that over 200 Fords have pre-registered for the new Ford Nationals Parade and Street Party in Downtown Carlisle. Scheduled for Saturday, June 4 at 6:45 pm, the Ford Parade will be similar to the internationally known Corvette Parade held in Carlisle every August where participants from the auto show will parade their custom and restored vehicles into downtown where they will park and enjoy the evening of live music, dining, and shopping. The parade is sponsored by the Downtown Carlisle Association, LoveCarlisle.com, Carlisle Events, F&M Trust and the Carlisle Theater.

Highlights of the Parade will include Ford NASCAR racing teams, Ford Concept cars, a large selection of Pinto Collectors called the "Pinto Stampede", and a host of period police cars from the Mayberry PD of the famed Andy Griffith Show. Live entertainment is scheduled for the corner of West High and Pitt Street and the blues band Octavia will perform on the steps of the new courthouse.

The Carlisle Theater will show a special screening of the classic movie BULLITT, staring Steve McQueen. The movie, set in San Francisco, was a key part in making the Ford Mustang the classic car it is today. Bullitt starts at 8 p.m. and costs $6 per person. Tickets can be purchased at the Ford Parade sign up tent at the Ford Nationals show or at the Carlisle Theater the day of the show.

Anyone can register for the parade who has a Ford without advertising. Cost to participate is $10 online at www.carsatcarlisle.com or $15 if you sign up at the show. Show guests can sign up at the Ford Parade Tent next to the Goody Bag Garage. Al l proceeds from the show go to production expenses and Downtown Carlisle Association marketing expenses.

Many downtown businesses will be open late and offering free entertainment. The Comfort Suites will be offering a Buffet starting at 5 pm with a Tossed Salad, Chicken Picatta, Beef Pot Roast and assorted sides and desserts for $18.95, plus tax and gratuity. Reservations can be made at 717-960-1000.

The vehicles will form outside of the Carlisle Fairgrounds and parade to downtown using Spring Garden Road, then Clay Street then onto North Hanover. Once in downtown, the vehicles will be parked on Hanover from South Street to North Street, and on High Street from West to Bedford Street. The event will end at 10 p.m. and streets should be opened to the public by 10:30 p.m.

Boiling Springs, PA - An Appalachian Trail Community

On June 4, 2011, the village of Boiling Springs
will officially be designated an
Appalachian Trail Community™.

The Appalachian Trail Community™ designation is a new program of the ATC, the non-profit manager of the Appalachian National Scenic Trail (A.T.). Launched in 2010, this program recognizes communities for their part in promoting awareness of the A.T. as an important national and local resource. Towns, counties and communities along the A.T. corridor are considered assets by A.T. hikers, and many of these towns act as good friends and neighbors to the Trail.

FREE Things to do in Carlisle - Central PA Youth Ballet Performance

CPYB presents
No Place Like Home

Free performances celebrate the music of master composers

Saturday, May 21, 3 & 5 pm

Central Pennsylvania Youth Ballet's Founding Artistic Director Marcia Dale Weary is pleased to present No Place Like Home. This annual production is CPYB's way of giving back to the community for 55 years of support.

This year's production includes:

George Balanchine's "Raymonda Variations," a suite of solos and ensembles inspired by Russian composer Alexander Glazunov's uplifting score, exposes both the dancers' skill and the choreographer's musical genius

"de l'innocence," Alan Hineline's choreographic gem, set to Franz Schubert's "16 German Dances," in which CPYB dancers 'paint pictures of music'

Sean Lavery's "Twinkliana," set to Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart's familiar score, will whisk you away to former days in its youthful portrayal of childhood innocence

Hazel Sabas-Gower's "Green," a ChoreoPlan 2011 favorite crafted against the rhythmic workings of Baroque composer Johann Sebastian Bach's remarkable repertoire of dance-based music

Finally, you'll be treated to a preview of Hineline's newest work, "Diabelli Variations," set against one of Ludwig van Beethoven's last and most well-known sonatas for piano.

When: Saturday, May 21

3 p.m. & 5 p.m.

Where: CPYB Warehouse Studios

5 North Orange Street, Carlisle
