At the request of North Centre Street businesses, the Cumberland Mayor and City Council voted to close Centre Street on Saturday, June 7th from 5-10 pm in order to prepare for and hold a celebration of life for Barb Buehl.  The event is planned to start at 7 pm following visitation and services at the Scarpelli Funeral Home on Virginia Avenue.  Mayor Ray Morris says holding such an event in Downtown Cumberland will be a great way to honor what all Barb Buehl did for the community…

“That lady did a lot for our community both as when she was the executive director of the Chamber of Commerce and then the head of the county tourism, and then of course let’s be honest working with the DelFest group as she did an absolutely tremendous work.  It’ll be a loss to our community, but I think this will be great on Saturday to have an event to honor her.”
