ZELIENOPLE – Ready! Set! Sleep …

At a Monday meeting of borough council, Zelienople’s second-annual Bed Derby officially was announced for July 6.

During the Bed Derby, participants will push a decorated bed on wheels through the borough’s streets as spectators watch the races from sidewalks. All proceeds from the event will be donated to the Zelienople Area Public Library.

According to bed derby committee leader and Mayor Thomas Oliverio, participation at last year’s event was low.

To find out how to donate or participate in the derby, call the Zelienople Area Public Library at 724-452-9330.
