We are organizing the 2024 Coalport Street Fair. We reach out to surrounding businesses in nearby towns, such as Altoona, Clearfield, DuBois, Tyrone, Curwensville, Houtzdale, Punxsutawney, etc. asking if you could assist us by donating an item for the "Giant Crazy Auction"--which is very popular with the visitors attending the event.
Coalport is a small community on the National Register of Historic Places located on Route 53 in southern Clearfield County. At one time Coalport was a bustling town we had several factories, a movie theater, an opera house, a florist, a tea house, a 5 & 10, a jewelry store, two bowling alleys and a roller-skating rink. There were coal mines and logging outfits. Coalport had two trains running daily through town. One hauled logs and coal and the other passengers. Sadly, all are gone.
We now have a grocery store, a used car lot, four bars, two pizza parlors, two family-style restaurants, a new fitness center, two gas stations and a dog groomer. We must travel to the outlying communities to go to work and play. This is a 30 – 40-mile drive one way.
The mission of the Decorating Committee is to beautify our town; to replace and maintain Coalports’ Christmas lights for the young and old of our community. The Coalport Street Fair is our biggest fundraiser for our committee and we greatly appreciate your contribution!
Advertising of your business will accompany the item on the raffle table.
