Heritage Fair 2009! - Sept 26th

We had a great Heritage Fair! The rain came around noon, but the morning crowd was big. No official total on how much was raised for Camp Blue Diamond and the District sponsored charities: CentrePeace, Gallitzin State Park Chaplaincy, Youth Work Camps, PA Council of Churches and Breezewood Trucker/Traveler Ministries. We hope the total will be slightly more than $31,000 once all the churches have turned in their money. Check out the new photos of this year's fair here, and on the Heritage Fair webpage.
