Despite the recent flash flood in the Kelletville area, we will be ready for the festival. Route 666 did get washed out in a number of spots east of the Black Caddis Ranch. Don't worry, we are OPEN and accessible from the west end of Route 666 in East Hickory (see the directions and alternate routes to the left).
The good news is: we are getting reports of the start of Synchronous firefly activity. The mGDDs are climbing, and this means we are on track for a peak the week of the festival. Some of the soft signs include the blooming of crown vetch. We have buds on the day lilies and the blueberries are weeks away from ripening. This late spring has been good for our plans to have the festival a week later.
Give us a call at 814-463-7606 or contact us at pafireflyfestival@gmail.com for more information.
This blog will keep you informed about the plans for the annual PA Firefly Festival and the Firefly Seasonal Events. The PAFF festival and sponsored events celebrate and monitor the annual mating displays of over fifteen different species of fireflies in the Allegheny National Forest area including the Synchronous Firefly and the "Chinese Lantern" species.
