Weekend in the Wilds Friday July 5 and Saturday July 6 will
be the largest yet according to organizers.
Entertainment begins Friday night and continues through all day Saturday
in Emporium, then travels to the Cameron County High School Football Field.
To kick off the event the Emporium Garden Club will host a
petite standard flower show called “The Many Loves of Little Flora” at the
Cameron County Chamber of Commerce & Artisan Center. The free show opens Friday afternoon 2-5pm
and continues 7-9pm Friday.
Music will begin flowing at the First Presbyterian Church at
3:30pm. The Merry Music Makers will
perform until 5pm when singer, storyteller and songwriter Van Wagner performs
until 6pm. In the basement of the First
Presbyterian Church a fundraiser ice cream social will be held. Home baked deserts and Penn State Creamery ice
cream for $4.00 a person!
“We are very fortunate to have Van Wagner coming to the
Weekend in the Wilds,” said chamber executive director Tina Johns Solak. Wagner has been contracted through the PA
Game Commission to perform throughout the region at festivals highlighting the
100 year celebration of elk restoration.
Wagner’s music is described as folk/blues. You can view his music videos on youtube at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pNNHAlXBrnI.
Entertainment for Saturday is in the final stages and will
be announced in the upcoming days.
Organizers say they only have a handful of spaces available for artists
under the tent. Those tents will be
placed on north and south Chestnut Street with vendors lining Fourth Street
from Broad to Walnut Streets.
