UMFC Annual Spring Carnival Canceled
UMFC was notified by PA DCNR / Bureau of State Parks that we are no longer permitted to host our annual Spring Carnival at Washington Crossing State Park.
We are disappointed by this decision as the Carnival has been held on Park grounds since the 1980s. It was an event that was anticipated by many in the community, and proceeds from the event contributed significantly to our annual operating budget.
We do not see other locations within the Township that have the space and road access to handle the amount of equipment and parking that the Carnival requires.
The members of UMFC want to thank the public for their patronage and support over the years. We welcome the community to continue to engage with us at our annual Fire Prevention Open House in the Fall and at other Township / Civic Organization sponsored events throughout the year.
