First Fork Festival at Sinnemahoning State Park is next Saturday October 14!
Austin –Next weekend marks the return of the annual First Fork Festival at Sinnemahoning State
Park! First Fork Festival celebrates the history and culture of the First Fork Sinnemahoning Valley,
highlighting local authors, artists, craft makers and artisans. Surrounded by glorious fall color at
Sinnemahoning State Park, this event draws over 1000 visitors each year and it all goes down on
Saturday October 14 th from 11:00 am-3:00 pm at the Wildlife Center grounds on Park Road.
Cash Only Shopping
Due to the parks lack of cellphone service and wireless internet First Fork Festival is a cash only
event. The park does not have an ATM on site, so make sure you bring cash to support all of our
local food and artisan vendors.
Shop Local Food and Artisan Vendors
First Fork Festival will feature food from Red Horse Grill, Phatt Grady’s Mobile Food Trailer, and Out
of the Box Stellar Food. Additionally, the Sinnemahoning Ladies Auxiliary will be serving up soups
and our local scouts from Troop 524G will have funnel cakes for sale. Finally, no fall festival is
complete without God’s Country Kettle Corn & Son’s of Dunn Family Maple serving up snacks.
We have almost 20 artisan venders offering variety of goods including but not limited to farm
products, jewelry, pottery and even plants. This is great opportunity to get some of your holiday
shopping done early while supporting our local artisans!
Live Entertainment and Exhibitors
Come celebrate Central Pennsylvania folk musician Jim Colbert as he highlights the stage with his
Pennsylvania themed songs. Additionally local authors, historians, and exhibitors will be on site to
educate festival goers.
Educational Activities for the Whole Family
Children, adults, and families can participate in several interactive educational activities staffed by
local historians, conservation districts, and PA DCNR Educators. Learn about archeology,
blacksmithing, watersheds, and even play historic games such as horseshoes.
