 Heidelberg Raceway Historical Marker to be Dedicated on July 15th
 
Both the Pennsylvania Historical & Museum Commission and the Heidelberg Borough Council and Mayor cordially invite all Heidelbergundians (past and present), racing and circus enthusiasts and those with ties to the old racetrack to be with us as we dedicate an official State Historical Marker to commemorate the former Heidelberg Raceway and Sports Arena and the last circus under the Big Top by the Ringling Brothers and Barnum & Bailey Circus.
 
The marker will be installed on the Borough / Township line in the rock-garden already constructed for the monument between the Walgreen’s and Kings Restaurant. There will be a ceremony at 2:00 PM on Sunday, July 15th (close to the 56th Anniversary of the end of the Circus on July 16, 1956) We encourage all to attend and be part of this historical day, light refreshments will be served following the ceremony.
