Weekend Update: Second Saturday and Music Fest

My wandering feet will take me south to Meadville this Saturday for two events: Second Saturday Community Market and Music Fest.

1) Second Saturday Community Market.

I had fun at last month’s Market in June. It was my first month back stateside and my first week back on the job, and the fair was a welcome piece of Americana to ease me back into the swing of good ole’ neighborly-ness. All booths and vendors are local, offering local food (fresh, baked and prepared), crafts, artwork, and other unique goods.

Entertainment was local, too, with performers from the greater NWPA area. Last month’s “Healthy Living” theme had the Kid’s Corner making edible faces. Anyone know what’s up for “Creative Process?”

If I get a chance to stop by, ask me to take your picture for GoCrawfordCounty.com. Check out last month’s photos here, and my blog post.

2) Crawford County Music Fest

Never have I ever…. been to Sprague Farm & Brew Works. And I think it’s about time. After good hearsay and a trip to their webpage, I’m excited to drop on by the rustic microbrewery to experience the Crawford County Music Fest.

Branded as a mini-woodstock by presenters WQLN, the Fest aims to be the Phoenix reborn from WQLN’s 1970′s annual Bluegrass/American Roots music festival. I’ll be wandering around, gathering photos and video from the event. Flash a smile, do a little dance, and you might just see yourself on GoCrawfordCounty.com.

Check out contributor Tom New’s article for the line up and more information on Music Fest.
