Traditionally MSWA's Stream Day was a casual, family-oriented event held on a Saturday morning in September in the heart of Middle Spring. It featured a rubber duck derby in the stream. In 2019 we did things a bit differently having a formal event with activity stations for elementary school students, on a Friday, downtown near the Shippensburg Borough offices, without a duck derby. There was no Stream Day in 2020 or 2021 due to Covid. 2022 was the first time we had a TWO-DAY Stream Day event -- the best of both models! In 2023 we began holding the Saturday morning part of the event at Dykeman Springs.
