Reception, art show begin Cranberry Community Days festivities
CRANBERRY TWP — Local leaders and residents mingled to celebrate the township’s accomplishments and appreciate the artwork of community artists at the kickoff events for the Cranberry Township Community Days festival Wednesday night at the Cranberry Township municipal building.
The Four Pillars Reception brought together members of the “four pillars” of Cranberry Township, as defined by the Cranberry Township Community Chest: businesses, nonprofit organizations, faith communities, and civic groups. After the reception, residents and visitors gathered to support the Cranberry Artists Network and explore their summer art show through the annual “Martinis with Monet” event.
“It’s really just to come here and celebrate Cranberry Township, and kind of kick off Community Days,” said Community Days co-chair Audrey Rattay. “(Martinis with Monet) is to showcase our artist network in the township, and the wonderful artists that we have, while also giving people a chance to mingle and meet the artists and learn about the art network.”
Sponsors of the Cranberry Community Days event and the Martinis with Monet event, including UPMC Passavant, Campbell Durrant, P.C., Cool Vapes Specialty Store and Herbert Rowland & Grubic Inc., were invited to share a few words at the event and attend.
The Four Pillars concept helps local leaders define what makes a successful community, said Bruce Mazzoni, co-chair of Community Days and Cranberry board of supervisors member.
