Can you lift 500 lbs?  Can I come behind the counter?  The questions the kids who attended last weeks pop asked the owner of  Muscles Gym Jason Zajac and Police Station Pizza owner,  Alex Burzese . 

The kids started the pop-up event at the 11th street basketball courts where Nate Mycyk taught the younger groups how to play basketball and played full games with the older groups.  

After Basketball the kids in smaller groups toured Muscles Gym and tried some of the equipment.  Zajac shared with the kids about being healthy and when youth can start to lift.  He also was asked to demonstrate how much he can lift and with ease deadlifted 500 lbs for the kids. 

At Police Station Pizza, Burzese and his staff let the kids come behind the counter and made them "to order "pizza.  While the pizza cooked he answered questions, let the kids pretended to be workers and take multiple orders.  The kids also tried to see how fast they can put together a pizza box without looking. 

The kids also got to meet Emma Honcharski, a reporter from the Pittsburgh Post- Gazette, she shared with them her path on how she became a reporter.  

Prizes for good behavior were donated by  Curt Martin, owner of   Fred's Divot . 

Next Event:  Archey, Hockey,  and Musical Theater on July 12 at 1 pm , meet at 11th street Basketball courts.

​About the pop up events:
Organized and Founded by Felicia Mycyk, the pop up events are to connect the area youth with the leaders in the community.  The events are set in the middle of the afternoon for the kids to get involved with each other outside of electronics and within the community.    Volunteers are asked to donate time, talent, or gifts to the weekly summer programs.  The program entering its third year has had over 200 youth participate and over 40 community leaders and volunteers donate their energy to the program.  As of 2018, the program ran and lead by Felicia Mycyk is  a project under the Ambridge Rotary Club and is funded by the generous community
