Country Memories Day

05/26/2026

🇺🇸 Each year we partner with local businesses who see the value in ensuring our annual event in McVeytown, PA. continues to be held. These businesses recognize the importance of supporting small businesses and local efforts.

🇺🇸 This year we are thankful for support from these sponsors:

•Kyfus Metals
•McVeytown OIP
•W. Fisher Bee Farm
•Class One Transport
•Kountry Kitchen
•Harshbarger’s Sub n Malt
•Bilger’s Pumpkins
•Parting Waters Wellness

Partnering with local businesses allows us to have an advertising budget, provide the face painting free of charge for kids and helps cover expenses for other needed services such as the delivery of comfort and handwashing stations.

These businesses continually contribute to our community and for that we are grateful.

Thanks for making memories in our hometown year after year.

💥 This event is nothing short of amazing!

•The rain didn’t keep the crowd away.
•The vendors showed up prepared for the weather and determined to make it a great day!
•the volunteers were everywhere doing all the things it takes to run a large event smoothly
•Fun was had
• Memories were certainly made

🇺🇸 The day started in our traditional fashion with opening ceremony on the square at the Rothrock Monument. The flag was raised, both young and old recited the Pledge of Allegiance, the National Anthem was sung beautifully and a thoughtful prayer was shared. This was followed by a warm welcome to kick off the 39th Annual Country Memories Day and our America 250 Celebration.

☔️ All while it rained.

The food trucks fired up their grills, smokers, ovens, stoves, fryers, and coffee makers to create the aromas of every single one of your favorite foods!

🌧️ All while it rained.

The vendors welcomed the hustle and bustle in the streets and shared their crafts, handmade items, small businesses and smiles with the crowd.

☔️ All while it rained.

The people in the crowd stood in the street in long lines for their favorite foods and face paint, shopped with vendors, visited with friends and family and were smiling and excited to attend.

☂️ All while it rained.

The volunteers assisted vendors with unloading, shuttled vendors and visitors to and from, made announcements, checked on vendors and provided attention to details, handled things behind the scenes to keep things running smoothly, answered questions, went above and beyond, managed so many moving parts at once, and stuck around for cleanup duty.

🥾 All while it rained.

We stepped back in time in as we watched the Revolutionary War re-enactors General George Washington, Martha Washington, Betsy Ross and additional soldiers march through town and then later proceed to the Liberty Tree to fire the muskets.

☔️ All while it rained.

To sum it up, the community support and following for Country Memories Day is simply astounding. It was a great day despite the rainy weather!

Our longstanding beloved event is definitely ingrained into the memories and hearts of families and friends in our community. They have made Country Memories Day an annual tradition. Many said the rain wasn’t keeping them away, and for that we are very grateful!

The amazing vendors who participated are to be commended! They were so well prepared for the day.

Come make a memory, next year at the 40th annual Country Memories Day. It’s a milestone celebration with lots of fun planned!
