2014 DATC Festival Photos

We were fortunate to have photographers at our 2014 Duncannon Appalachian Trail Festival willing to share their photos with us. Thanks to Jeromy, Jeannie Conrad, and Charlie Johnson, we have great pictures of the crowd, the entertainment, the vendors and some of the presentations at the Duncannon Appalachian Trail Festival (a.k.a. the Duncannon Blast).

DATC Booth at Ned Smith Nature and Arts Festival a Success

On Saturday, July 27th we set up our Duncannon Appalachian Trail Community (DATC) booth at the Ned Smith Nature and Arts Festival in Millersburg and it was a great success. Our free giveaways attracted many children and their parents. Kids would line up for our Appalachian Trail hand-stamps and temporary bug tattoos while we talked to their parents about Duncannon, the Appalachian Trail, Duncannon Outdoor Club hiking opportunities, ticks and invasive species such as the Wooly Adelgid.
