Ambridge Memories: Golden Jubilee

7/8/2015

Comments

 
By Nancy Knisley

While the two main events planned for Ambridge's official Golden Jubilee celebration were the big, big, big parade on July 2 and the presentation of the Ambridge historical pageant extravaganza "Frontiers of Freedom," June 29 through July 4, there was plenty going on every day from Sunday June 26 through July 4.
On June 24, "Freedom of Religion Day," the American Slovak Association held their picnic at Firemen's Park, and the Ambridge Eagles dedicated a Ten Commandments monument at what was then known simply as "11th Street Park".* 

I don't remember seeing the tablet in the park for many years. Where did it go, and when?

Visit Ambridge Memories for the complete article.
