Brookville welcomes summer with it's week long Laurel Festival
June is the month the mountain laurels bloom in the forests of Pennsylvania. So
it just makes sense it’s also time for the Western Pennsylvania Laurel Festival,
which celebrates its 50th year in 2007.
The festival takes place in the lovely town of Brookville. The town is a role
model of historic preservation and is justifiably proud of its restored
Victorian Main Street lined with quaint shops and striking architecture.
This year’s event will take place June 18 through June 24.

Meet Me at the Fair
Summer just wouldn’t be summer without the thrill of a county fair to liven
things up. Whether it’s the delicious sweet smell of cotton candy, the fine
craftsmanship on a hand-stitched quilt, or the sparkle and boom of fireworks,
county fairs are fun for everybody in the family. What’s more, county fairs
truly celebrate the best of farm life and country living. They’re great
opport-unities for kids to actually see working horses, dairy and beef cattle,
sheep, dairy goats, chickens, rabbits and even pigs. Real and wonderful
experiences they’ll never get from TV or video games. |
