Check Out Western Salisbury Community Day and Police K-9 Trials

The Western Salisbury Fire Department is hosting its fifth annual Community Day Saturday, with tours of the fire station, games and live fire extinguisher training.

The community event will be held 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the fire station and Green Acres Park, which is at the intersection of S. Ott Street and Green Acres Drive. Other planned activities include fire truck displays and local business displays.

Police officers and their K-9 partners from the Lehigh Valley and beyond will converge at Salisbury High School's football field Sunday morning at 9  for the third annual Police K-9 Trials. The K-9 trails were first held in 2011 to honor fallen Berks County Deputy Sheriff Kyle Pagerly. Proceeds from Saturday's event will benefit fallen police officers.

The K-9 events scheduled are: Obedience, Agility, Fastest Dog, Call Off, K-9 Alley and Muzzle Redirect.

The first annual Victory BrewGrass Fest will take place Saturday at Valley Preferred Cycling Center in nearby Breinigsville. The day-long concert will run from 11 a.m. to approximately 9 p.m. 

Tickets are $10 in advance and $15 at the gate Saturday. Music will run non-stop at two different stage areas and the music and will be staggered by 15 minutes per area so that there is never a dull moment or lull in the entertainment.  The main stage area for bands will be in the infield of the velodrome between the third and and fourth turns.  Another smaller and more laid back performance tent will be at the entrance and food court area of the facility.
