First of 3 Horse Trading Days showcases lively town, ‘Main Street community’
ZELIENOPLE — Residents say that live music, friendly chatter and groups of people walking along Main Street are not exclusive to open-air events like Horse Trading Days, but are emblematic of Zelienople’s energy.
The town’s lively atmosphere was on display on the first day of the annual family-friendly festival on Thursday, July 20, in downtown Zelienople as people from around Butler County gathered for food, drinks, games and live performances that continued throughout the morning and afternoon into the evening.
“This type of community feel is in Zelienople all year ’round,” said Stacy McCaffrey, a volunteer raising funds for Seneca Valley North Football and Cheer. She motioned to Tim Murray, whose family has been in the area for over 75 years. McCaffrey and Murray have known each other since elementary school, she said, and now their children are together at the event.
