“We’re a small town, but we hold so much history. We’re big in history.”

That “small town”, as Sally Mahon put it, is Darlington Township in northwest Beaver County. The town is host to Darlington Days, the weekend celebration of the town returning to late spring after a pair of years of cancellations and rescheduling due to the pandemic. Mahon spoke to Matt Drzik about Darlington Days on the June 3 edition of A.M. Beaver County.

Darlington Days runs from June 3 to June 5, and it formally begins tonight with the first of two polo matches at the Darlington Polo Club under one of the world’s only lighted polo fields. “It’s crazy and amazing to see how many people are actually into it,” Mahon said. “The crowd gets into it. It’s a good feeling.” This year, the Darlington Polo Club will be holding a second match on Saturday afternoon at 2:00 PM as well.

Saturday also features the Darlington Days 5K Run/Walk at 8:00 AM, along with the annual parade through the main streets and backstreets of town beginning at 10:00 AM. There will also be live music at the main stage throughout Saturday afternoon and evening, along with museum tours presented by the Little Beaver Historical Society.

The weekend closes on Sunday with the 5th Annual “Cannonball Run” for motorcylists and other travelers beginning with registration at 10:45 AM at Greersburg Tavern, along with a Classic Car Show running from Noon until 4:00 PM throughout Market Street in Darlington.
