You are an important part of our history, and our community! Did you know, that if you live in the Pennsylvania Furnace area, you are automatically a member of the Community Hall Association?
That's right!! The Baileyville Community Hall Association was established in 1933 and the By Laws state that “membership of this Association shall consist of every member of the community…” The Board of Directors meets the second Thursday of each month at 7:00 p.m. at the Community Hall. You are welcome to join us!
The Baileyville Community Picnic
The picnic on May 19 had a little wrinkle from Mother Nature, but a good time was had by all. We moved the band inside, the plants for sale didn't mind the rain, and people came! We had approximately 70 people for our second annual Community Picnic. Thanks to Bob Hazelton for his presentation on the railroad, the Gilligans and Larry Harpter for their help with the Baked Goods auction, Rozick's Greenhouse in Tyrone for the beautiful plants for sale, the Nittany Wranglers Bluegrass band, and all the fabulous bakers who donated items to the auction! This is one of our major fundraisers and it helped raise over $1200 dollars for the Capital Improvements fund. And it is fun too - everyone got into the spirit, complete with applause for winning bids!

Little Free Library
A Little Free Library has been installed at the Community Hall. For those of you not familiar with the program, it provides books for people to share. The motto is Take a Book, Share a Book. If you have books you have read and would like to share, stop by and add them to the Library. Take a look at the ones already there and see if any interest you.
We have stocked it with a good supply of children's and adult books already! Come check it out! Thanks to Tod Grimm, Genia Harpster and Lisa and Steve Bellows, for building, painting and installing the library.
