The Eastburg Community Alliance held their Celebrate East Stroudsburg Festival on Saturday May 26th at Crystal Park in East Stroudsburg, PA. It was a modestly attended event which was discontinued prematurely due to a severe thunderstorm. However, a number of vendors and musicians were there to provide some visual and audio entertainment for those who came out to celebrate the day. These vendors included Thrush Birdhaus, With You In Mind Jewelry, Clowning for Children, Samantha McHugh who is a Thirty-One Consultant, and Mariana Russo of Mariana Arts Crafts along with numerous pieces of civic and community information presented on various tables throughout the park. The music provided during the time I attended the festival was presented by “Riverside Rhythm” whose big band sound played a number of patriotic along with some swing time tunes until the necessity of terminating their electrical connections due to the impending storm became apparent. The Monroe County Joint Veterans’ Honor Guard also gave a presentation in relation to the ceremonial folding of the U. S. Flag.

The event was presented by The Eastburg Community Alliance which was formally known as Books, Brushes, and Blooms at the location formally named “The Miller Park.” The Eastburg Community Alliance was established over 30 years ago by local leaders and business owners and is funded through a combination of local grants, direct fundraising, memberships, and local contributions.
