Coplay Community Days had record crowds at its festival, which ran the last weekend in August, beginning Friday evening at the Coplay Parkway with the Aardvarks on stage and continuing day and evening on Saturday and Sunday. The concerts featured a mix of rock, country and polka.

The 35th annual event allowed the committee to again give back to the community, which is its focus and goal.

Committee Chairman Steve Burker said although the committee won’t have a post-event meeting until Monday, Oct. 26, some decisions on what to fund are already being considered. An attractive steel bench with “COPLAY” on its back will be placed at a site dedicated to Stanley Reinhard Jr., who died recently. Reinhard was involved in his community and church. He was an American Legion Post 426 commander, district commander, state commander and state adjutant.

Another project Burker discussed was a railing providing safer access to the grounds.

Additionally, Burker foresees 2016’s Coplay Community Days with additional lighting for activities on the north side, outside of the pool’s bathhouse and the lower parking lot.

With attendance growing by leaps and bounds, better identification signs for vehicle parking will also be addressed, such as access to the American Club of Coplay parking lot. After the committee reports its proceeds, 25 percent will go to the central committee. All committee members’ suggestions on funding will be considered.

In the past, Coplay Community Days funded electrical improvements at the parkway pavilion, a stage, surveillance cameras at the pool and bathhouse, fencing at two ballfields, the tot lot and more.
