For directions, go to http://fbcmcdonald.com/. Staying for the weekend? We have a block of rooms reserved at the Tonidale Comfort Inn at a great rate. Call 412-787-2600 and ask for the "First Baptist Church" rate.

We still have space for food and merchandise vendors. This is a great fundraising opportunity for churches and other groups. Spaces are 10 ft. by 10 ft. and range from $25 to $50 depending on the type of vendor. A limited number of covered spaces are available for an additional $10. To reserve a space, call the church office at 724-926-4216. To receive a reservation form, leave a message with your name and address.

We are publising a Sponsor book again this year. To advertise or create a memorium for your family, please call the church office at 724-926-4216 and leave a message with your name and address to receive a Sponsor form.

If you would like to be in the parade, please contact Donna at 724-695-7830.
