That bluegrass party
(Tioga County-based, internationally known, mandolin player is a top national player)
and some more local folks - Fetish Lane (they were combined with members of another band, calling themselves Woodshed something, but i forget... ah, update: Woodshed Prophets )
Backwoods Experiment (who I don't really like)
Grass Stained Genes (who played in my living room for my 31st birthday party)
and there's jammin' everywhere. I didn't take pix of the whole event, and pretty much no performances except the Sunday afternoon jam in the area we call The Pines, just took shots when the spirit moved me.
The bonfire Saturday night was huge - those are people and trees dwarfed by the fire - and that's after it's died down a lot.
My friend's kid turned 11 at the party.
A's little brother wanted food from our stash because he's a big mooch and didn't bring his own food. We had decided that he couldn't have any unless he paid $1 for each item. He negotiated letting me take pix of him blowing bubbles in trade...I've definitely gotten more than $1 in amusement :-)
My friend Marty is a blacksmith who lives in Ohio. He brings his "portable" forge and tools with him - this is one of his pieces.
Each year, someone flies a small plane over the party and drops a gift for Bucky, the host. (http://www.dcnr.state.pa.us/stateparks/parks/leonardharrison.aspx - there's a little airport near the PA Grand Canyon)
Bucky playing banjo at the "Hardy Hole Cafe" (aka the kitchen)
Cellist Dave Bush playing in the Pines
Sunday afternoon jamming (the cellist is back there playing too, behind the guy with the harp)
More jammin'
The stage area late Sunday night. My friend (father of kid above) is glaring at the other guitarist because he's sick of the same tunes the guy has been playing since the afternoon jam. There was a bassist, the cellist, a drummer, and a couple other folks that he would rather have been jamming with, in more of a rock style.
The pews are where the audience sits when when watching folks play on the stage. The wooden platforms visible at the bottom of the picture are where folks dance. The couple on the right comes from North Carolina each year, but he grew up down the road from the party location.
Just a funny shot.
(if you're really curious about the rest of the party, msg me and i'll send you a link)

Blossburg Coal Festival
Keith Lindie, town historian & eligible 80-something bachelor, used his beloved John Deere tractor to haul the Red Hat Society float.
My dear Uncle Dudley with her authentic miner's hat. Miners filled it with oil and lit it so they could see in the tunnels.
She has an authentic miner's lunch bucket, too. Her bf Bernie has an extensive collection of mining antiques. (I'm sure she's going to yell at me for posting this!)
But her float won the prize for Best Appearing Float. It features Mabel, a mule considered to be the last of the mine animals. The mules and ponies would bring the coal carts to the surface to be unloaded.
Here's the link to the full album if you're interested:

A harbor walk
We intended to catch the train but i was too lazy to run for it and no others came, but I got these two shots as compensation.
And we walked to the harbor.
This is probably my favorite.
That's (e:tinypliny) on the dock (i don't know the right word - is it a slip?), but it's hard to see her silhouette.
Postcard, anyone?
and one really bad picture of the ducks that came begging to us.

The Not-Basra Collection
My hometown had its annual festival last weekend and my aunt asked me to take pictures of her & her company's parade float. She couldn't throw candy from the float and take pictures of it at the same time, she said. After the parade, everyone goes to Island Park for the festival, which this year included a beautiful old tortoise.
