The Learning Lamp Celebrates 20th Anniversary with FREE Family Event!

Event Date: September 10, 2023

The Learning Lamp invites YOU to be their guest at a community celebration marking the nonprofit organization’s 20 years of service to children and families in our region. The Be Our Guest event is Sunday, September 10, 2023 from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. and includes a day of FREE family fun and entertainment at Peoples Natural Gas Park, 90 Johns Street in Johnstown.

For two decades, The Learning Lamp has been dedicated to enhancing the lives of children, families, and communities through innovative, high-quality educational programs, services, and support. This milestone anniversary marks a significant achievement for the organization, which has positively impacted the lives of countless children and families.

The festivities will kick off with a captivating performance by The Little Mermen, the ultimate Disney cover band, known for their energetic and enchanting way of bringing your favorite Disney tunes to life. Audiences of all ages can expect to relive their favorite Disney classics in a whole new way, as The Little Mermen bring their unique musical twist to the stage for a nostalgia-fueled day of fun!

In addition to the musical extravaganza, families can enjoy the Rock N Roll Pet Store Kids Show, an engaging and educational experience that introduces children to a variety of adorable and exotic animals through interactive performances.

The celebration promises an array of family-friendly activities, including food trucks offering delectable treats, a bounce house for endless fun, arts and crafts to spark creativity, Imagination Playground to encourage child-directed free play, giant LEGOs® for building adventures, and engaging games that will entertain both young and old.

And what’s a party without a Disney raffle? The Learning Lamp is currently selling raffle tickets for $25 per ticket for a chance to win a trip to Walt Disney World valued at over $3,600. Remaining tickets will be sold and the winner pulled live at the event. The winner does not need to be present to win.

“We are thrilled to celebrate two decades of serving our community with this free-to-the-public event,” said Leah Spangler, president and CEO of The Learning Lamp. “Our 20th anniversary celebration is a testament to the hard work and dedication of our talented team and the unwavering support of the families we’ve had the privilege to serve.”
