Community

We aim to support the community as much as possible. Over the past few years, we have come to really love some special events and groups in town!

Cinco de Mayo 5th Street Block Party

In 2018, we hosted the inaugural Cinco de Mayo 5th Street Block Party and we will be doing it again in 2019! With the help of Elk Creek Mining Co., Spirits of New Castle, The Town of New Castle, and the Chamber of Commerce, we hosted an amazing day with drinks, food, pinatas and live music all benefiting The River Center. Please plan to be there again this year!

New Castle Trails

Dr. Roper and her husband, Raul, are outdoor enthusiasts and are huge fans of the trail system that New Castle Trails is building. We think New Castle has an amazing potential to be an outdoor adventurer’s hot-spot and would love nothing more than to see our town become a destination with bike-related events and a thriving downtown to support the visitors. Our vision for the dental office is to support the community in a way that is meaningful to us and representative of our passions. New Castle Trails is a cause that we wholly support. New Castle Dental has adopted the Pubview Trail on Mt. Medaris, a local trail which overlooks downtown New Castle and host two days of trail maintenance per year in addition to other regular fundraising efforts to support NCT.

Burning Mountain Festival

In 2016, we crafted our first float in the Burning Mountain Festival Parade and in 2017 we came back and took 3rd place. In 2018, we continued the tradition and were awarded 2nd place. Our booth in 2017 was themed “Are You Kissable?” and this past year we debuted our new microscope and showed brave participants what the bugs in their mouths looked like. We loved getting to meet and greet so many members of the community. The pressure is on to make the float even better next year! Let’s see what’s in store for 2019!
