SOME PEOPLE really know how to live and make the most of every minute. One of them is Postman Dale Weber who doesn’t see a relay box as a repository for heavy mail but as a place to sip coffee and read the
paper. Dale, who lives on Camp Meeting Road, is a veteran of 14 years at the Sewickley Post Office. He delivers the mail to Route 8 in Sewickley in the vicinity of Centennial Avenue.	(Photo by Eric Hamlin)
Harvest Festival Saturday
Signs for fresh eorn-on-the-cob have popped up everywhere, from the most modest road-side farm market to the most chi-chi city supermarket.
It’s August. And summer and its bounty have reached bountiful maturity.
From now on, the days will start tumbling toward autumn.
But this time of the year—summer’s last hurrah— is celebrated annually in Sewickley with the Harvest Festival, sponsored by Sewickley Kiwanis.
According to Jim Creese, this year’s celebration promises to be as good or better as those enjoyed by patrons in past years.
The festival, as in past years, will include all-day events on Saturday as well as featured events.
Jn keeping with the theme of the celebration, a farmers’ market will offer patrons selections of the season’s best produce and home-made treats.
Also, patrons can play treasure hunters at the festival’s flea market.
(Cost of a booth in the flea market is $6. To secure a booth, prospective mer-
chants should call John Debenham at 741-4719 or 741-9497.)
All events will take place on Broad Street, between Beaver and Thorn, and on Thorn Street, between Broad and Chestnut.
In addition to the farmers’ and flea markets, other all-day activities include booths sponsored by the League of Women Voters, Pittsburgh Parks and Recreation , a U.S. Army informational and recruitment station, and an Easter Seals Society display.
The Salvation Army will be having a bake sale; the Tamburitzens will be selling ethnic cookies, cakes and noodles; the local Boy Scouts will be offering snow cones; and Sewickley Valley Hospital will provide test kits for colon cancer as well as free blood-pressure screenings.
During the course of the day, Sewickley Valley Chamber of Commerce will be having sidewalk sales.
The following is a list of featured activities:
•Pet Show. The parade begins at 10 a.m. in the Post Office parking lot, on
Thorn Street. All kinds of animals are welcome, and there is no preregistration required. Judges will be Linda Manko, Margaret Freitag and Peg Wigton.
•Exhibit “A” Band Concert. David Foote is featured in this event, which begins at 11 a.m.
•Kiwanis Key Club Jugglers—11:30 a.m.
•Junior Tamburitzen Band—noon.
•Exhibit “A” Band Concert with David Foote—2:30 p.m.
•Key Club Jugglers—3 p.m.
•Junior Tamburitzen Band and Dancers—3:30 p.m.
Jim Creese, who also is an Edgeworth Police officer, reminds patrons about the Quaker Valley Police dunk tank that will be another all-day feature this year.
Officer Creese laughed that now’s the time for anyone harboring a grudge with a local cop to have his chance at revenge.
Proceeds from the dunkings benefit Quaker Valley Police, a local organization that encompasses all local police ■departments.
