Duncannon Appalachian Trail Festival Arts and Crafts

Arts and crafts at the festival this year will include 5 stations so come and use your talents to create! There is something for all ages!

BAMBOO HIKING STICK

Once again this year you will have the opportunity to make your own bamboo hiking pole using paint pens for colored designs and your choice of feathers, yarn or beads. Even the younger kids up to and including adults can engage in this activity.

WING FLAPPING BUTTERFLY

Decorate and construct a butterfly with markers, paint pens, glitter, and straws that actually enable the butterfly to flap its wings!

WACKY HATS

There will be 9 different hats you can choose from that are already cut out and ready to decorate with markers or glitter. Maybe you would like to decorate a castle, flamingo, monster, skeleton, palm tree, frog, bee, bug or glasses hat!

OPOSSUM

How about making an opossum out of a sock, pipe cleaner, stuffing, felt, foam, and googly eyes! This craft requires the use of a glue gun so children wishing to make an opossum must know how to safely use one. One low heat glue gun will be available for usage.

You can also make some crafts from the past! Back from the past we have the Lightening Bug Nightlight, Campfire Nightlight and Bear Bank. Hurry while supplies last as these are leftovers,

Hope you can make the festival on June 17th from 10:00 am to 4:00 pm. See you there!

New Info in AT Kiosk on Inn Road

It’s hard to take in all of the information found in this little image, but the 40″ tall version greeting visitors entering town from Cove Mountain is much easier to read when seen in person. Thru-hikers and visitors can quickly learn about Duncannon’s unique geography, history and relationship with the Appalachian Trail while referring to a map displaying local resources. We tried to fit as much interesting information into the limited space that was available.

Please leave a comment to let us know what we got right or what we missed.
