The weather conditions aren't cooperating, but we are proceeding with the festival on Saturday at 12-noon. The forecast is for T-storms in the A.M., but steady rain for the rest of the day. We have plenty of rain cover for the exhibits, vendors and music, so you should still be able to get the firefly information and be entertained during the day. Please, come and enjoy the food and music, just wear boots and rain gear.
We are doubtful that there will be much viewing of fireflies tomorrow night due to the dangerous conditions in the forest and possible flooding of trails. However, we want you to come to the festival for the day and learn about the fireflies in the Allegheny National Forest, so that you will be able to seek them out and watch them at a future night this summer when conditions improve.
Camping is still available for Saturday night, if you are prepared and up for those conditions. No one is obligated to stay. We are still trying to raise funds for the future festivals so, T-shirts, and other merchandise will be on sale. We have fantastic door prizes and lots of fun. Please come.
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.
