Over the weekend the time capsule sealed back in 1976 was opened. It was awesome seeing some of the excitement on everyone’s faces as items from 50 years ago were revealed. Thank you to all who attended and to those who donated items for the next opening in 2076 😂

While no thank you list can possibly mention everyone who helped behind the scenes (from planning, setting up, donating, input, etc.) we do want to give a thank you to the following:
Mt. Pleasant Township Public Works
Mt. Pleasant Township Supervisors and office staff
Mt. Pleasant Township Historical Society
Hickory UP Church
Hickory Lions Club
Sam’s Sweet Shoppe
Mt. Pleasant Township Volunteer Fire Company
Mt. Pleasant Police Department
Fort Cherry Ambulance
Hickory Apple Festival
The Shuman Family
And many many more

PS: Special shout out to Jessie M for the great idea of taking a group photo of everyone in attendance to put in the time capsule.

Today was our Easter Egg Hunt and the kids seemed to have a blast! Special thanks to township members who helped volunteer, Heritage Public Library-McDonald, PA for helping and doing a raffle, other individuals/businesses who donated, and Mount Pleasant Township VFC - Hickory, Washington County, PA for bringing in the Easter Bunny! Hope everyone had fun!

It’s a great day for an Easter Egg Hunt! One change from yesterday’s post- the prizes will be in front of the township building instead of the concession stand area. Egg return will also be in that area.

In the concession stand there’s cookies, chips, coffee, tea, and water to enjoy.

Tomorrow (March 28th) is the annual Easter Egg Hunt. We want to remind all attendees to dress warmly and wear appropriate shoes as the ground may still be wet, soft, or muddy in some areas from the storms that have come through the area this week.

The hunt begins at 10:00am with the oldest age group beginning first and we will work our way down in the age groups.

10-12 year olds: on the hill next to the building
7-9 year olds: on the ball field (look for signs for exact location)
4-6 year olds: on the ball field (look for signs for exact location)
0-3 year olds: on the tennis court

Any child winning a prize will be picking it up at the concession stand this year.

We look forward to seeing you tomorrow!
