Suzie Rape made her way to the sidewalk in front of her shop Saturday to dace to the music of Dennis McCurdy & The Lonesome No More Band at the first Harmony Community Day.

HARMONY — Classic cars lined downtown as people came out to enjoy the inaugural year of a festival that celebrates the borough's sense of community as well as its businesses.

Community Day was greeted with warm weather and people eager to see what was in store for them — visiting the craft booths, watching historic demonstrations and enjoying the music.

The event was organized by the newly rejuvenated Harmony Business Association, which hopes to make Community Day an annual event.

“It's just a fun little break day to come enjoy some good entertainment and some good food and see what the business community has to offer,” said Jo Annette Cynkar, president of the association.

“Hopefully it will help to increase business on their end, which is really the goal of the Harmony Business Association,” she said.

Chris Waggert and Katie Ihlenfeld of Connoquenessing came out Saturday with their 8-year-old yellow Labrador retriever to enjoy the afternoon.

Both agreed it was a nice event.

“We just heard about it the other day, and it looked like it would be fun,” Ihlenfeld said.

“We love to see all the crafters and the music is great,” Waggert said.

Susan Dexter of New Castle was demonstrating and selling hand-woven items in her tent in the town square. She had previously been involved in the borough's Christmas market.

“I'm surprised how quickly they were able to get this event together,” Dexter said of the organizers. “It's a wonderful thing for Harmony.”

Debbie Reeb of Zelienople helped to demonstrate wool spinning for Historic Harmony's Weaver's Shop.

She was happy with the first Community Day.

“It's such a little community, that any time you can coordinate people to come down, it's a good thing,” Reeb said.

Musicians played in the town square in a stage tent next to the Grace Church of Harmony. On the other end of town, music also filled the air from the steps of the Harmony Inn, as visitors enjoyed the dunk tank on the lawn of the restaurant.

The Harmony Museum also offered tours throughout the day.
