Kutztown (Berks Co.) Kutz
town folks arc busy preparing for
this summer’s 43rd annual Folk
Festival, scheduled for Saturday,
June 27 through Sunday, July 5.
Craftsmen are busy creating their
works of art; quilters are trying to
finish that last quilt before the
deadline; churches and civic orga
nizations are organizing volun
teers to prepare and serve much of
the delicious food that is available
at the Festival.
This summer, visitors will find
some new additions to the old
favorite activities. At the red bam,
four times a day, children may
dress up in costumes and partici

tors with their humorous routines
and antics.

Maple Sugar Survey
HARRISBURG (Dauphin
Co.) — Leaders of the maple syrup
industry requested the WSDA-
National Agricultural Statistics
Service to conduct a survey which
would provide unbiased and sta
tistically reliable data for the
industry to plan for continued
reinstatement of the maple syrup
estimation program.
Maple producers in the 11
major producing states (CT, ME,
MA, MI, NH, NY, OH, PA, VT,
and WI) will be contacted twice
each year. In Pennsylvania, the
surveys will be conducted by the
Pennsylvania Agricultural Statis
tics Service. Production informa
tion will be collected in the late
spring following the sap run. Price
and disposition data will be
gathered in the fall. The combined
responses will provide maple syr
up producers and industry leaders
with answers to the following
questions:

rows, quilt building supervisor,
will host a new program about
current trends in quilt-making.
Jane Strinsmen will host a new
show which will feature some of
the talented musicians who are
also craftsmen on the festival
grounds.
Of course, no Folk Festival
would be complete without the
quilt display and the quilting
demonstration. Ann Burrows says
she is taking particular care this
year to be sure that all the Festi
val’s quilts are American-made.
“Our quilts may cost more, but
they are made locally and that is
important.” The same is true for
all the craft items on display and
for sale.
Glenn Eckert and his Hayseeds
will provide the music, while Les
ter Miller will call the “squares”
for his hoedowning and jigging
groups on the Hoedown Stage.
