2013 DATC Festival Photos

DATC Festival Collage

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:
