The New Hope Automobile Show will return in person this summer, one of a number of events planned this year by the New Hope-Solebury Community Association to support students of the New Hope-Solebury School District.
With many of its events canceled last year due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the association spent the down time planning a series of events to encourage the community to get out and enjoy the spring and summer weather.
These include an outdoor summer concert series, adult and youth tennis and baseball tournaments, and the return of the internationally recognized New Hope Automobile Show.
New Hope Celebrates has adopted the colorful LGBTQ+ Progress Flag in support of traditionally underrepresented groups.
The nonprofit organization’s Inclusion, Diversity, Equity, Accessibility and Anti-Racism (IDEAA) committee is working to expand representation of transgender and minority communities, according to New Hope Celebrates president Matt Hanson.
“We have many reasons to continue the Pride movement for minority groups of people in our communities, such as transgender individuals and people of color who need and deserve equality,” Hanson said.
The IDEAA committee’s commitment to the cause, he says, will be on full display at the annual Flag Unfurling on May 8, when the Progress Flag will be showcased.
