INFO

SHOWS:

The Pennsylvania WoodMobile will be on hand at NAFF17. This traveling, interactive exhibit offers visitors a chance to learn about the history and importance of Pennsylvania’s forest resources. The 34-foot mobile unit’s interior and displays are finished in woods representing popular commercial species grown in the state. A talk by Steve Manginell accompanies the Wood on Glass photo exhibit generously lent by Pennsylvania’s Lumber Heritage Region. This collection of photographs by William T. Clarke chronicles the lumber industry and daily life between 1890 and 1917 in Pennsylvania’s Potter, McKean and Clinton Counties. The Wood Center at IUP will also host a log-sawing contest 3-5PM Saturday, September 9. “Come try your hand at one end of a traditional two-person crosscut saw, coached by expert sawyers, Jan and Steve Repik. Anyone may join in the fun!” Harvest-to-Use workshop by IUP’s BA Harrington, director of The Wood Center. See and learn about projects students have worked on in using lumber harvested from campus trees felled due to disease, construction, or mother nature.

The Northern Appalachian Folk Festival (NAFF) is held annually the weekend after Labor Day in Downtown Indiana. NAFF celebrates the region’s art and culture with free live music, exhibits and demonstrations, workshops and other educational programming. The work of regional artists and craftsmen as well as goods and products made in Northern Appalachia are showcased in a street fair. From free concerts highlighted by national acts to fun and games for the youngest festival-goers in Children’s Alley, there is something for everyone at NAFF.

ABOUT THE FESTIVAL...

Downtown Indiana is 60 miles northeast of Pittsburgh and sits right in the heart of Northern Appalachia— a region that encompasses 86 counties in five states: Pennsylvania, West Virginia, New York, Maryland and Ohio.
