            • In 1904, David Evans Strickler, of Tassel Pharmacy in downtown Latrobe, PA., invented sundaes at the pharmacy’s soda fountain. News of his banana-based sundae spread quickly and the recipe was published in 1907. He later purchased the pharmacy and named it after himself.

              Enjoy games, crafts, and face painting. Bring your appetite or watch the spectacle at the Eat ‘N Park Pie Eating Contest, where contestants will dig in to eat an entire banana cream pie. Don’t want an entire pie? Grab a bite from the wide variety of food trucks stationed in town. Stroll through the car cruise, and check out the awesome line up of classic cars.
