Did You Know?

Pennington Day was born in the aftermath of a huge fire at the Pennington School's four-story O'Hanlon Hall in February 1980 and that the electrically-started blaze brought 19 fire companies to the scene and prompted residents of the borough to hold the first Pennington Day, the proceeds of which helped the prep school recover from the disaster. Since that time, Pennington Day has become one of the most important dates on the borough's annual calendar. Did you also know that as many as 100 people volunteer each year to help stage all of the activities leading up to and the day of the event? Throughout the years, Pennington Day has remained a much anticipated family event in Hopewell Valley due to the breadth and depth and combination of activities, exhibitors, entertainment, and food in the small, Norman Rockwell-type town called Pennington Boro. Last year there were more than 130 vendors, of which over 25 sold food, which included an assortment of snacks and treats.

Who comes to Pennington Day?
Most come from throughout Hopewell Valley, Mercer and Bucks Counties, and the surrounding area, including some from even Philadelphia and the New York metro area.
