Two Grand Prize winners were drawn on Saturday, May 27, Keun An and Jennifer Mulcahy were the lucky winners. They have chosen their prize. One has chosen a night of "Glamping" with fireflies, while the other has chosen the $300 cash prize. The raffle surpassed our goal of $3000. The proceeds will benefit our Firefly Educational Programs and help to support students and faculty studying fireflies in our area and around the world. Thank you to all of those who purchased a chance. We hope to continue to offer this next year.
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.
