Corry's Fridays

In a great many places around the world Fridays are special year-round as the harbinger of the weekend, but -- in Corry, Pennsylvania, summer Fridays are "especially special" -- for a couple of reasons.  The motivating phrase "Let's bring downtown Corry to life this summer!" is most definitely working.

First - the Corry Farmers Market runs on summer Fridays from early morning until early afternoon. Located on the South side of the city park on the Center Street, vendors offer real maple syrup, meats, cut flowers, eggs, baked goods, honey, and large variety of fresh produce and even hand crafted items -- some delightfully original and especially lovely and arty, others wonderfully useful and well made.  The market is a something for everyone sort of situation. It's a "happening" -- and -- a chance to catch up with people you hardly ever see, but who share an interest in supporting the local community. Sometimes there is even music.  Bonus! 

Second -- Corry's First Fridays.  The events of the first Fridays of the months of July, August and September are sponsored by the Business Committee of the Corry Chamber of Commerce.  Thank you!  Last Friday, the first Friday of July, was the first of the season and my inside source tells me that it was a huge success.  Actually I could see that with my own eyes.  It, too, was a "happening".  There  were artisans, music, good food, vendors, a car show and shop specials.  It all worked together to make the downtown area come alive for sure. It was fun.  I went with my local grand-kids, (I call them the little B's.), and we had a perfectly wonderful time.  We checked out everything and even did a little shopping in between visiting with friends along the way. We want to go again.  Luckily for us, there are two more opportunities for Corry's First Fridays this summer:

Friday, August 5th
Friday, September 2nd
