We are dusting the cobwebs off of our bartending skills, and ready to put them to work for a GREAT cause!  Join North Canton Jaycee members Dennis Coy and Jen Geh as they will be pouring the drinks at Picciano’s Martini Lounge on Tuesday, October 25, 2011 from 5-7pm. 

Know that this happy hour is for a very good cause-100% of tips benefit The North Canton Jaycees and will go toward operating expenses for community events during 2012-everything from the July 4th Celebration in the Park and Fireworks to the annual Jaycee Fair – Celebrating its 66^th year!!

Picciano’s Martini Lounge
410 Market Street North
Downtown Canton
(located in the Foundations Centre building) 

Stop by, relax, raise a glass (or two) and tip generously!  Don’t forget to bring your friends…or your favorite HALLOWEEN costume.  We will see you THERE!

You’ll be seeing lots of RED, WHITE, and BLUE around the streets of North Canton on Monday, July 4^th. 

The annual Kids Parade starts off at 10:30am from North Canton Memorial Stadium and heads west to Main Street, south on Main to Harmon, then west on Harmon, ending at North Canton Middle School.  Look for the 2011 Jaycee Princess, Sophia Warner, who was crowned at this year’s Jaycee Fair!

The celebration starts again in the evening, when one of Stark County’s hometown favorite bands, the Jeff Poulos Blues Revue will be playing the very best of blues, classic rock and Motown tunes at Celebration in the Park from 7pm-9pm.

The July 4^th Celebration in the Park event, including fireworks, starts at 6pm and includes food vendors and musical entertainment and ends at dusk with fireworks!  The Celebration in the Park event is set-up on 7th Street NE (near Dogwood Park).  The street is blocked off near the stadium parking lot, across from the high school.

For years The North Canton Jaycees has provided entertainment for the citizens of North Canton as we celebrate Independence Day.  This year, we will start off with the North Canton Jaycees Kids Parade on the morning of July 4, 2011.  The 4th of July Fireworks Display is in jeopardy of not being held this year.

Without the help of the residents and our business members, the tradition of the Fourth of July Celebration in the Park, which includes food vendors, entertainment, and fireworks will not take place this July.  The Jaycees need a co-sponsor in order to help cover the cost of the fireworks.

Please help us by showing your support for this community.  Various levels of sponsorship include Co-Sponsor along with Business and Individual levels.  Please respond to Jennifer Reider, Chairman of the Board, North Canton Jaycees at Neoh71@aol.com for more information. 

Updated sponsorship information can be viewed under the “Annual Events” menu above; then click the “July 4th” link.

Thank you for your interest in The Celebration in the Park!  We appreciate all donations given to this event.

We’d like to wish all of you a very Happy New Year!

Have fun and be safe!  Designate a driver.

Congratulations to our new 2011 Executive Board!
