I know…we still have snow on the ground, it’s still below freezing at night and it still gets dark shortly after 6 p.m.! However, local folks are already planning community-wide events and festivals.
Coming up soon, the Ladies Auxiliary to the Boalsburg Fire Company will have their indoor yard sale on April 26 and 27 at the Fire Hall. Come support the Ladies Auxiliary and pick up some nice stuff!

Of course, Boalsburg will celebrate Memorial Day from May 23-27, with activities like the carnival, parade and a Day in Towne. On the 27th many crafts folks will be selling their wares and there will be music on the Diamond and at the Museums. Tours of the Heritage Museum, the Boal Mansion and the Christopher Columbus Chapel will be offered.

The July 4th Festivities will offer many fun activities near the stadium and the Bryce Jordan Center on campus…ending with a spectacular fireworks display.
The Central Pennsylvania Festival of the Arts will be held July 11-14 in downtown State College and on the Penn State campus. Watch for details online.
Finally, a local craft fair will be held at Way Fruit Farm in Stormstown, PA, just minutes from State College. It will run concurrently with the Central PA Festival of the Arts…July 11-13. It has the feel of the People’s Choice festival that had been in Boalsburg, but has now been moved to the Grange Fairgrounds in Centre Hall. See what Way Fruit Farm has to offer all year round at https://marykisner.com/wonderful-lunch-with-high-school-friends/
I’m sure there are many more festivals across the area, so check local listings and advertisements! Lots of cool bargains to be had!
If you are involved with a local festival and would like me to mention it in an upcoming post, send me an email with details…marykisner@comcast.net.
