Friends and family of Pottsville’s famous muralist will hold the fourth annual Dave Day on Sunday.
Born May 29, 1960, in Pottsville, Dave Naydock painted murals professionally from 1983 until his death on Jan. 20, 2013. He is believed to have completed about 180 murals in his career, including about 65 in Pottsville. These include near Pottsville Area High School, the former Pottsville Hospital and Warne Clinic (now Schuylkill Medical Center-South Jackson Street.), and Dunkin’ Donuts.
Shortly after his death, his friends discussed a yearly event to celebrate his memory. The first Dave Day, attended by more than 200, was held on what would have been Naydock’s 53rd birthday.
The day starts with Hucklebrunch from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at Hucklebucks, with a Dave-inspired menu and drinks.
New this year will be a Scavenger Hunt. Participants can get a free scavenger hunt page at 11 a.m. at Mud & Maker. Winners will be announced at 4 p.m. at Sage Coffeehouse.
The event ends at 5 p.m. at Hucklebucks.
