On August 17th the public is invited to attend an average paced 2 mile hike on the mountain land belonging to the Takach Family while looking for animal signs. We will be bushwhacking over rough terrain. Wear long pants. Appropriate for ages 8 to adult. Meet at the Duncannon Family Health center at 9:00 am to carpool. Call 834-9216 or email dtakach@duncannonatc.org to register.
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.
It’s been a while since our June 1st, 2013 Duncannon Appalachian Trail Community Festival so we’re refreshing your memory with some of Dan Innamorato’s candid images from the event. Dan was kind enough to share his great pictures of the 2nd annual DATC Festival with us so be sure to check his photos to see if you or your friends are in them or just take a look around Duncannon and spot other people showing their community spirit.
If you’re not in any of the photos, be sure to come out next year and join us in the month of June for another fun day at the Duncannon ATC Festival. Photos follow below:
