Cranberry Township’s CTCC Community Days, July 10 to 12, is one of the region’s largest and most popular events. It draws more than 25,000 people in part because there is no entry fee.

It is free entertainment for the whole family. It has free concerts, a car cruise, free Kids Zone of large inflatables, and dozens of other events, along with a large carnival and more than 200 vendors.

This year it all will be on one level, which means more density and better access to booths. Its advertising and three-day planner will go to more than 50,000 homes in three counties.

It is simple, how much is one extra customer worth to you? And what better market to attend than the Cranberry area where the average household income is more than $100,000.

And do not just think food, crafts and commercial products as vendors. One year, there was a graphic designer who had just opened shop in the area who got a booth, and she picked up two new clients. Her reason was simple: Many executives and business owners live in Cranberry and the surrounding area and this was an easy way to meet some of them. Booth spaces can be reserved online at www.CTCChest.org.

CTCC Community Days is a celebration of nonprofits and civic organizations, and there will be more than 40 nonprofits involved helping to raise awareness, recruiting volunteers or members, and raising money for their organizations.

More than 600 people volunteer to make Community Days happen.

Last year all the groups together raised more than $125,000 for their causes, and CTCC used its proceeds to help seed new community projects. Proceeds from this year’s event will go to a emergency and fire training trailer that will be used by volunteer fire companies.

Details on the new project will be released prior to Community Days.

Another way to be involved includes sponsoring an event, with sponsorships available from $100 to $15,000.

Questions on sponsorships or sponsoring an event can be sent to brucemazzoni@zoominternet.net.
