On Tuesday, June 10, at the Townie Awards Gala hosted by the Pennsylvania Downtown Center in Gettysburg, PA, the Bloomfield Business Association won the first place award in the Special Events/Promotion Category for our Little Italy Days Festival. The Townie Awards are held annually to recognize those communities that have developed and implemented outstanding programming or events within their communities that contribute towards the overall mission of the Pennsylvania Downtown Center, which is “to advance the sense of place, quality of life and economic vitality of Pennsylvania’s downtowns, traditional neighborhood business districts and nearby residential areas”. 2008 marks PDC’s eighteenth year honoring revitalization efforts and achievements.
