PENNSYLVANIA'S TRAVEL GUIDE

PENNSYLVANIA'S TRAVEL GUIDE

vergrown meadows, Queen Anne’s Lace, the deep O croaking of a bullfrog and crickets after dark. The sound of a late-night storm moving in as the wind whispers through the cornfields and into an open window; these are summer to me.

Have you ever wondered what sights, sounds and smells will define summer for your children and grandchildren? Will they include the smell of a campfire and the sound of the crackling of wood, or perhaps the carefree shrieks of cousins splashing in a lake or waterpark? As they grow into adulthood, will they reminisce about the sound of a wood thrush in one of Pennsylvania’s beautiful state parks or daydream about the sights and sounds of a historic re-enactment or music festival?

Fortunately, you don’t have to spend a lot of money to experience an unforgettable summer. Memories don’t cost a thing, but they can be priceless.

Galeton's

Red Suspender

Weekend

by Rick Hiduk

The apex of summer in the northern mountains of Pennsylvania is the month of July, statistically the warmest and most vibrant time of the year. In Galeton, summer’s peak gets a grand send-off with the community’s annual Fourth of July Fireworks and Red Suspender Weekend, slated this year for Friday and Saturday, July 3 and 4.

Vendors of food, crafts and other items and the sounds of live music fill Collins Park, situated along the shore of Berger Lake at the center of town. Businesses around town are also festooned for Independence Day and offer holiday-themed specials to the many visitors drawn by the event.

The two-day celebration culminates with a great fireworks display famously mirrored by the placid waters, which are part of the Pine Creek watershed. The percussions and their echoes in the neighboring canyons rise in contrast to day-to-day life in the borough. In fact, the quaint community swells to city-sized proportions for two days.

“It’s the busiest weekend of the year in

/ 46 /

2015 W&W summer / whereandwhen.com

town,” said fireworks committee chairman Andy Macensky, who estimates that between 15,000 to 20,000 people will descend on the relatively small borough again this year.

Galeton prides itself on being a quiet place to live and visit. Its 1,149 residents are surrounded by beautiful, forested mountains and deep valleys. The woods and streams team with wildlife, making the town at the heart of “God’s Country” a mecca for hunters and anglers, many of whom have seasonal homes and cabins in the area.

Laid out in a bowl-like valley, most of Galeton is visible from scenic Route 6, one of two key highways into the relatively remote region.

The town is situated about halfway between Wellsboro in Tioga County and the Potter County Seat of Coudersport.

Vehicular traffic along Galeton’s main streets is detoured on July 4 to make way for a 5K run and 2K walk that take place before the annual parade. According to race coordinators Kristi Carlson and Kyla Werger, 90 runners and 30 walkers participated in the event last year. Registration will be handled electronically this year, with the link posted at the

5K for Fireworks 2015 Facebook page.

The parade, which is sponsored by the Galeton Chamber of Commerce, begins at Galeton High School on Bridge Street at 11 a.m. Marching bands, bagpipers and Galeton’s community chorus participate in the parade, as do many other civic groups, veterans, businesses and local dignitaries.

The fireworks display starts at 10 p.m. that evening, with a rain date of Sunday, July 5. “It’s the biggest display for miles around,” Macensky remarked, noting that the tradition began more than 50 years ago.

At one time, the Goodyear Hose Company coordinated all of the events associated with Independence Day in Galeton. As the celebration grew larger, related fire chief Joe Cimimo, the fire company found help in the Chamber of Commerce and other residents who formed committees to share the responsibilities.

Red Suspender Weekend got its name just over 30 years ago when the fire company sponsored a contest among local school students. The winning entry was a reference to the red suspenders worn by firefighters at the time.

Event organizers suggest making the best of a long holiday weekend by arriving in the area on Thursday, July 2, or earlier, and staying through Sunday, July 5.

The Pennsylvania Lumber Museum in nearby Ulysses holds its annual Bark Peeler’s Convention the same weekend, and Potter County’s Cherry Springs Park is a mecca for summer star gazers. It is one of the darkest spots in the eastern United States because there is so little light pollution.

Lodging options range from a number of campgrounds and rental cabins to rustic lodges, bed and breakfasts and restored hotels and inns that offer modern amenities while retaining their charm and heritage. These are situated both in Galeton and in the nearby villages of Gaines, Ulysses and Germania. Larger hotels can be found in Wellsboro and to the west in Coudersport.

Mid-Atlantic Air Museum To Host

World War II

Weekend READING in

By Rick Hiduk

T

he Mid-Atlantic Air Museum in Reading will host its 25th annual World War II Weekend from Friday to Sunday, June 5 to 7. In addition to an air show featuring vintage airplanes and vehicles, more than 1,700 re-enactors, 30 honored WWII veterans and other special guests, and a virtual army of museum employees and volunteers will collaborate to take more than 30,000 visitors back to an era when American pride was the focus of the entire nation.

Re-enactment events have become common fare in recent years, drawing / 66 /

scores of history buffs to battlefields to get a sense of the rigors of war. According to Air Museum co-founder and current president Russ Strine, World War II Weekend at the Reading International Airport differs in many ways that make it especially family-friendly.

While the realities and hardships of conflict are by no means downplayed, the Home Front area, a reconstruction of homes and businesses as they would have appeared in the continental United States in 1944, is designed to evoke cherished memories among those who were tending to families and keeping the country in motion while so many of

its citizens were abroad.

“It is an active working home front,” said Strine, who noted that the authentically furnished 1940s house and the cottage-style gas station with its vintage pumps, vehicles and merchandise provide a rare glimpse into the past and special intergenerational moments among family members.

“We see everyone from greatgranddads down to 8-year-olds (in attendance),” said Strine, noting that he enjoys watching those from the older generation explain how all of the antique items on display were once elements of daily life.

The stories of older guests are important too to the American Wartime Museum of Nokesville, VA, representatives

of which will bring The Oral History Van and conduct interviews with interested veterans.

Those who survived military conflict are, of course, the focal points of numerous presentations and lectures that occur on the stage and in the briefing tent during the weekend. All branches of military service and many theaters of conflict are represented. Details about the special guests are posted at www.maam.org and will be updated through the event date.

Authentic entertainment of the era will include performances by the Manhattan Dolls, Frank Sings Frank, and the Ultimate Abbott & Costello Tribute Show. Guests can join the audience of an old-fashioned live radio broadcast on local station WRDG. The Victory Theater, a new addition to the Home Front area, will continuously show old news reels and short films.

Friday, June 5, is A-Day (Arrival Day), and gates open at 8:30 a.m. Planes will be landing throughout the day for Saturday’s air show. Friday is also the best time to book airplane rides for Saturday and Sunday.

This year’s theme is “A Gathering of Warbirds,” and, in addition to the planes taking part in the air show, 12 vintage aircraft used in combat have been specially selected for visitors to take 30-minute flights. Seats, which range from $185 to $1,200, traditionally sell out quickly.

“You can sit at each station in the airplane and go into the cockpit,” Strine explained. “That’s quite a thrill.”

On both Friday and Saturday nights, Hangar Dances at the Officers Club will feature big band music by Let’s Dance and Swing Fever, respectively. Guests who feel a bit under-dressed for the gala should stop by Pinkie’s Department Store in the home front area during the day to purchase some authentic 1940s clothing.

“This is a full-day event,” said Strine.

“This isn’t something that you can whisk in here and see in a couple of hours. If you have any interest in this era at all, you shouldn’t miss this.”

The World War II Weekend covers 20 acres of Reading International Airport. Shuttle buses will transport guests from remote parking areas to the site. For more information, readers should call the museum at 610-372-7333 or log on to www. maam.org.

utler, Pa., home of the first Jeep prototype to impress the U.S. Army, is also home to the annual Bantam Jeep Heritage Festival, which will be held in and around Butler from June 12 to 14. A highlight of the event, which coincides with the 75th anniversary of the production of the Jeep prototype, will be an effort to enter the Guinness Book of World Records with the largest parade of Jeeps in history.

The American Austin Car Company became American Bantam after it was bought out of bankruptcy in 1935.

The company specialized in the manufacturing of small, European-type cars, but struggled to tap an American market still reeling from the Great Depression. With the help of a patriotic engineer, who agreed to work for free, Bantam was able to produce the first light-weight four-wheel-drive car to meet most of the Armyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rigid specifications.

The bulk of the Army contract was eventually awarded to the Willys and Ford companies because they had the financial backing to quickly manufacture the number of Jeeps needed. The Bantam Reconnaissance Car (BRC), however, was regarded as the standard by which subsequent models were designed. By 2011, Jeep enthusiasts and Butler County officials collaborated to capitalize on that fame before the Bantam Jeep became a historical footnote.

The event annually draws thousands

of Jeep fans from 30 states and Canada. Many of them bring their own Jeeps, potentially resulting in more than 2,500 Jeeps in Butler that weekend. Jeep owners can participate in the parade that will start at Butler County Community College at 2:30 p.m. on Friday, June 12, and wind its way through Butler.

Festival Director Patti Jo Lambert credits Butler County Tourism & Convention Board (BCTCB) president Jack Cohen with implementing the festival

to acknowledge Butler’s role in the Jeep’s history and create an event that would bring Jeep fans back to the town to celebrate that distinction. Bantam Jeep Heritage Weekend has grown to involve a committee and 30 volunteers, as well as officials and authorities of numerous municipalities, to ensure the fun and safety of event participants.

The parade will be led by 75 Jeeps representing each of the years that the vehicle was manufactured. The majority of the Jeeps at the beginning of the procession will continue out the north side of the city and park in designated lots. Complimentary shuttles will provide transportation back to the downtown area, where approximately 1,200 preregistered Jeeps, including the 75 anniversary vehicles, will be parked as part of the festival’s Jeep Invasion street party. Food vendors and music will stoke the camaraderie of Jeep enthusiasts in attendance.

Some special fun is planned for Sunday morning, June 14, when up to 500 contestants will take to the festival’s muddy Jeep course and “playground” on foot for the annual Muddy 5K Race. Other

features will include a Jeep-themed playground for kids, a World War II encampment, how-to clinics, a flea market, a pig roast on Saturday, a breakfast buffet on Sunday morning, opportunities to buy and sell Jeeps and accessories, and a garage on site for any needed repairs.

A re-creation of the original BRC will be delivered to Butler for display. Also on exhibit will be more than a dozen of the first Jeeps manufactured by Ford and Willys that were based largely on the Bantam prototype. The original pilot Jeep was destroyed during Army testing.

Duncan Rolls of Texas is credited for the meticulous re-creation of the BRC, working on the mock-up between 2004 and 2008. According to Rolls, who has studied and researched Jeeps since childhood, what took the Bantam car company approximately 1,200 hours to build took him about 3,500 hours to recreate.

To register for the Muddy 5K Race, which begins at 8:30 a.m., and to learn more about the Bantam Jeep Heritage Festival in Butler, log on to www.bantamjeepfestival.com.
