County staff announce summer events calendar and national blind tennis championship to be hosted locally in August

County staff reviewed upcoming summer events at the June 17 Beaver County Board of Commissioners work session and highlighted a newly secured tournament that county officials said will bring participants from across the country.

A staff member told commissioners the Beaver County Fitness Expo at Brady's Run and the ice arena will host CrossFit-affiliated events and that three America 250 celebrations are scheduled in Harmony, Old Economy and New Swift with associated activities at Legion and Green Valley Park. The staff member said the events will draw hundreds of participants.

The staff member also said the National Blind Tennis Association contacted county officials after an Austin venue fell through and agreed to host the association's championship Aug. 7–9 at a local facility; Dr. Roth (described as a professor at Carlo College in the remarks) helped connect organizers with the county. The presenter said the tournament will include a Friday-evening clinic to introduce the visually impaired local population to the sport.

The board was told more detailed schedules and times for performances and events will be posted on county social media and on the Beaver County Boom event page.
