Mt. Lebanon Comes Alive Saturday August 8th With ULTRAparty

We received the following press release from the organizers of the upcoming ULTRAparty:

Mt. Lebanon Comes Alive Saturday August 8th with ULTRAparty
Former Pittsburgh Steeler Robin Cole to appear

Uptown Mt. Lebanon is the place to be Saturday, August 8, as Experience LEBO and Miller Lite present the third annual ULTRAparty, Mt. Lebanon’s premiere summer street party event, from 8 p.m. to midnight.

ULTRAparty provides an opportunity for the young (and young-at-heart!) to literally party in the street— Rt. 19/Washington Road closes to vehicular traffic from Cedar Blvd. to Castle Shannon Blvd.— and enjoy live music and refreshments in Uptown Mt. Lebanon. People can easily reach Mt. Lebanon’s Uptown the by T. Ample parking is available in Uptown garages and lots.

Popular 80’s cover band VELVEETA takes the stage at 8 p.m., and for a $5 cover, those 21 and over can purchase Miller Lite or Heineken and enjoy food and drinks on the street. New additions this year include a visit from Robin Cole, All-Pro Steelers linebacker and two-time Super Bowl champion during the "Steel Curtain" era, who will be on hand greeting fans and signing autographs, and a silent auction featuring sports memorabilia including autographed Steelers and Penguins items.

"ULTRAparty is a perfect fit for the Mt. Lebanon Partnership, attracting dynamic, energetic, diverse young people to enjoy Mt. Lebanon," noted board member Dorene Ciletti. "Last year’s event attracted more than 3000 people, and we expect a larger crowd this year."

The party furthers Mt. Lebanon’s goal of becoming “the main street of the region,” according to Mt. Lebanon Public Information Office Susan Morgans. "We are delighted that this event introduces people from all over to the restaurants, businesses and other amenities that our community offers. We hope they’ll see that Mt. Lebanon is a very special and welcoming place."

The Autism Center of Pittsburgh, the only facility in Western Pennsylvania that offers speech and language therapy, occupational therapy, psychological evaluations and parent support and information all in one place, will benefit from ULTRAparty. One of its three locations is on Washington Road in Mt. Lebanon

"Proceeds from ULTRAparty will allow the Autism Center to provide services and support for people affected by autism in our area," explained Anne Fleming Babish, event chair. "What better way to spend a Saturday night than by partying in the street, enjoying the music and sipping a cold drink while supporting a great cause!"
