As we officially welcome summer, we are in the middle of planning a variety of fun community events, and we invite you to get involved!
First up is the Oil Heritage Festival Bike ‘n Brew, taking place on Saturday, July 16.
This year’s event features a Biking Scavenger Hunt from 2 to 4 p.m., where participants will ride their bicycles to up to 10 stops along the trail in Oil City and take a photo at each spot. Bikers will get entered to win prizes for each place they stop.
Then, from 4 to 7 p.m., we’ll have the beer portion of the event.
There are two ways to participate:
• Curbside Pickup ($40): Pick up a package full of at least 8 craft beers from local breweries in a cooler tote bag, along with fun swag from brewers and sponsors.
• VIP Ticket ($50): Includes the package listed above PLUS a tasting of several different craft beers with Scierka’s Tavern.
Ticket prices will increase by $5 after July 8. The beer activities take place in the courtyard of the Venango Chamber. Bike ‘n Brew attendees can only bike or only brew, or bike AND brew! It will be a fun day of activities, local beer, prizes, and more.
The next week, we’re hosting the Ice Cream Social, as part of Oil Heritage Festival. Scheduled for Thursday, July 21, from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m., this takes place in Central Ave Plaza, next to the Oil City Library. We’ll serve ice cream and drinks to the community during other events in the plaza.
For both of these events, you can get involved in a few ways—attend, spread the work, and/or volunteer!
