Terry Hazlett’s last day in his capacity as manager is April 12. He has held the position for more than 10 years, and said Monday night that he believed a major accomplishment made during his tunure had to do with Town Park.

Canonsburg borough Manager Terry Hazlett has announced the first two bands to play "Hot Diggity Days"—what he calls Washington County’s premiere oldies festival.

The festival return—in a slightly different form.
Last year’s “Hot Diggity Dog” festival was created as a one-time event honoring the 100th birthday of Canonsburg's native son, Perry Como. But borough Manager Terry Hazlett said it will return this spring—but in a slightly different form. He said the two-day festival exceeded everyone’s expectations by way of attendance, which caught the attention of the America’s Pop Music Hall of Fame committee. The committee announced Friday that it will be presenting “Hot Diggity Dog” days May 18 and 19 and that the spotlight would be on oldies bands. Presenting the festival the same weekend as the National Pike festival seemed to be a good fit, Hazlett, who described the event as an amalgamation of “Hot Diggity Dog Days” and the former “Doowopalooza” …
