Country Spirit USA at Ludwig’s Corner: August 24 – 26

The Citadel Country Spirit USA country music event runs August 24-26 at the Ludwig’s Corner Horse Show Grounds. The festival will feature more than 20 country music artists on two stages, as well as food, beverages and a wide range of activities.  Headliners include superstars Alabama, Toby Keith and Brad Paisley.

Expect Traffic and Nantmeal Road Closure

In anticipation of large crowds and additional traffic, you may want to avoid the corner of Rte. 100 and Rte. 401. If possible complete as many errands as you can before Friday. West Vincent Police will close Nantmeal Rd. from just west of Griffith Hall (Fire Company) to Rte. 100 on Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Traveling from Nantmeal Village to Rte. 100 use Horseshoe Trail Rd.

Drop Off Only at the Show Grounds

If you plan on attending the concert note that all parking is off site and no parking will be available on the show grounds. You may be dropped off on the grounds, so arrange for a friend, neighbor or your sitter to drop you off and pick you up after the performance.

If you have questions or comments about the Country Spirit USA Music Festival, please call 610 331-0432 or email info@countryspiritusa.com Do not call the Township as we have no additional information about the event.

AGENDA

Spotted Lanternfly (Lycorma delicatula) is a new invasive insect found in southeastern PA, the only place in the US where it is known to exist. Native to parts of Asia, it was discovered in Berks County in 2014, and is slowly spreading to other counties.

Spotted lanternfly feed on a wide range of plants including maple, willow, staghorn sumac, birch, grapes, and many others. They pose major threat to PA agriculture, including the grape, tree-fruit, hardwood and nursery industries.

While the Penna Dept. of Agriculture and Penn State Agricultural Extension are actively looking for solutions to help stop the insects’ spread and save agricultural crops from serious damage, concerned citizens are the greatest resource for containing and controlling this potentially devastating pest. Learn about spotted lanternfly, the quarantine, and what you can do to help.

Township Clean Up Day and the Weather

In the case of snow on Saturday, there will still be someone at the township building to hand out supplies, coffee and donuts from 8:30 to 9:30 AM, as previously posted.  There is no rain date; supplies are available now at the township building and people can pick up trash any time between now and Monday.  Trash bags should be placed on the side of the road by early  Monday morning so the road crew can pick them up during the day.
