Codorus Blast 2012 Festival in the Park

The Codorus Blast Festival in the Park will be held Friday June 22- Sunday June 24, 2012 at Codorus State Park in Hanover, PA.  Money raised from this event is used for the park.  There are tons of fun, family-friendly activities for all ages all three days.  Here is a breakdown of events, plus events that will happen throughout the weekend. The Codorus Blast website didn't have much info on scheduled events but I'm sharing what I've found!

There was no mention on the Codorus Blast website about Fireworks on Saturday evening or the Amusement rides all weekend.  I'm not sure if that means they are no longer happening or if the website just wasn't updated to reflect these activities and events.
