TOWAMENCINÂ â A new event could be a new way for residents across Montgomery County to build closer ties, as soon as this fall.
Township officials heard details last week about a proposed "Multicultural Fair" that could be held at Fischer's Park in September.
"It's a timely opportunity to try to bring this county together, from both sides of the county, and really accentuate the wealth of diversity that we have," said organizer Carmina Taylor.

On behalf of the "Movement for Black and Brown Lives in Montgomery County," Taylor outlined her proposed event to the township supervisors on March 24. The event would be an all-day festival, hosted at Fischer's Park on Sept. 25, using the park's pavilions to host games, music, sports and displays from all seven continents. Those who attend would represent the various ethnic and racial groups that make up Montgomery County, sharing stories and traditions with all who attend, and Taylor said local and county lawmakers and officials could also be invited to meet and greet residents.
