The weekend was a big SUCCESS! We couldn't have asked for better weather. The registered attendance was 522. The late comers brings the estimated attendance to at least 600. We sold out all the adult Large, XL and 2X t-shirts, and the donations kept coming in. We had 24 tents, and 2 full cabins. The music was fantastic and very entertaining. The variety of food and drinks satisfied all the appetites, and the arts & craft vendors added some fun unique items. The grand finale' was the fireflies themselves, and they put on quite a show for those willing to venture into the dark forest late at night.
Sunday morning clean-up was surprisingly easy, because everyone picked-up after themselves. There was virtually NO LITTER left behind in the field or lawn. We are so impressed by the attendees thoughtful courtesy and stewardship of the area. We hope you will join us next year at the 3rd Annual PAFF on the 4th Saturday in June.
We will have some photos and video to post soon.
This blog will keep you informed about the plans for the annual PA Firefly Festival and the Firefly Seasonal Events.
