Important Instructions: (please read)

Here are some important information that we'd like you to keep in mind if you are attending the Eid prayer at the Farm Show Complex,

- Expect some significant traffic bottlenecks around the Farm Show Complex areas, as Eid is on a weekday, so plan to arrive as early as possible. We experienced significant traffic congestion in the past, so please leave early from home.

- The prayer will be at the Main Hall at the Farm Show Complex. The easier way to get there is to use the vehicle entrance near the Harrisburg Area Community College (HACC). DO NOT use the McClay Street entrance, as it will be blocked.

- Please follow the instructions of the parking volunteers, park your cars responsibly, and watch out for little kids in the parking lot.

- If you need handicapped parking please inform any of the parking volunteers and they'll guide you.

- There are multiple entrances to the Main Hall, follow the signs and try not to mix.

- Volunteers will also be around to guide you to the correct entrance, please follow their instructions.

- We encourage you to bring your own prayer rugs if possible.

- Limited Wudu options are available at the Main Hall, if possible please come with Wudu.

- You are encouraged to bring some sweets to share with the community.

- Please keep quiet during the prayer and the Khutbah session. Please keep your children with you, and keep them quiet as much as possible at least during the prayer and the following Khutbah session.

- There'll be a medical team at the facility, in case if anyone needs medical attention.

- Please be extra careful heading out as more people may be at the parking lot at the same time. Watch out for little kids when you back out your vehicle. Follow the instructions from the parking volunteers.

- If you have any questions or comments on the event day please reach out to any of the volunteers.

Volunteers Needed:

This is our event, and we need to help each other for such a large event to be successful, in'shaa'Allah. We need volunteers from all the Masajid to cover the setup and cleanup activities. This includes both brothers and sisters. If you appreciate the hard work behind bringing such a large community together and feel good to be a part of it, please reach out to your local Masjid Administration and tell them that you'd like to volunteer. May Allah reward you for your time and willingness. It's a team effort, and we certainly need your help.

Sponsors:

With such a larger event comes a long list of expenses. Alhamdulillah, we are glad to present to you some of our local businesses/organizations that came forward to share some of these expenses. May Allah give more Barakah in their efforts and make them successful, A'ameen. Please support them as much as you can.
