Weekend in the Wilds Success

Weekend events called a success by vendors and planners. “The number of vendors topped 50, making it the largest ever,” says Cameron County Chamber of Commerce Director, Tina Solak. Food vendors sold out and many organizations in the region benefitted including PA Wounded, Warriors, Cameron County Fair Association, Cameron County Girl Scouts, Storm Football, Leukemia Foundation and CCHS students. Organizers of the Pie and Ice Cream Social on Friday noted they scooped record amounts of Penn State Creamery Ice Cream.

TomBob Outdoors filmed the entire event focusing on the Mountaineer Search & Rescue Big Foot Hunt. The segment will air at a later date. “Hopefully that will encourage more people to attend the event,” says Solak.

Fireworks blasted off Saturday night before a packed football stadium parking lot and Sunday Gibson and Grove Townships celebrated with a picnic at the Barclay Recreation Center.

This event could not happen without volunteers, artists, organizations, police and borough officials,” concludes Solak, who adds next year Weekend in the Wilds will be held Friday June 30 and Saturday July 1.
