More great news about the Cornfest. There will be a petting zoo, a horse and pony for rides, and a moon walk! Big news, you can park either in the Carrick High School Parking lot or the back end of the Carrick shopping center. A shuttle van will be available for the whole event to tote you back and forth. Yeah!!

Thank you I HEART Pittsburgh for posting this fun Pittsburgh community event.
