Event Details
Join us to celebrate King Charles II granting William Penn the charter to found the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania with a Happy Birthday Pennsylvania Party! This event will include a potluck lunch, a costume contest, and a dramatic reading of the entire Charter. Guests are invited (but not required) to bring a dish to share. Attendees are welcome to come in historical costume, if they like, and one adult and one child will be chosen as the winner of the best costume. The Charter will be read aloud by interested adults, teens, and children who attend the event – we will pass around a large-print copy, and many people will read a section each.
