Some of the special items available will be a Penn State University chair, a limited edition bank fashioned from a Post Office lock box, a reverse painting, a collector edition Holiday Angel Barbie in its original box, antique twin rope beds, linens and beautiful glassware. “We also have a dollhouse that will make a great gift for some lucky little, or big, girl,” said Boback. Block worthy donations are still being accepted. Live entertainment will go on throughout the day of the festival on the stage near the inter- section of Main Street and Memorial Highway. “We’ll have lots of seating available,” said Man- zoni. “That was one of the suggestions we got last year and we're going to have picnic tables and chairs available wherever we have room.” Children will have fun as the Penn State 4-H Club will offer pony rides and fire engines will also be available for rides. There will be a pet- ting zoo, face painting, balloons, cotton candy and lemonade. Parking will be available at the Twin Stacks Center, with buses traveling back and forth all afternoon. Twin Stacks Center is also partici- pating in the event. “We're having an open house from 1 to 6 p.m. and every tenant will be giving out something,” said Flo Banta. “There will be raffles and gift certificates and Stax & Co. restaurant will have live entertainment.” Parking is also available at the Dallas Shop- ping Center, Commonwealth Telephone Co. on Lake Street, the Back Mountain Little League complex, and the library. Free shuttle buses will rotate throughout those five parking facilities all afternoon. The Harvest Festival will spill out onto Lake Street, where a tour of historic sites will be available. Walkers can also get a glimpse into the future by hiking a roughed-out area of an “urban greenway” along Toby Creek. “We’ll have people walk from our tent at the old Sunoco station along the creek up to the back of Commonwealth Telephone Co.,” said Judy Rimple, president and founding member of Anthracite Scenic Trails Association. “It is strictly a rough draft, but people with vision will be able to see it.” ~The ultimate plan is for trails to extend to College Misericordia. “People can pick up information at our tent and we are still looking for volunteers for that day,” said Rimple. For more details, call Mark Albrecht at 696-3409. For those who take advantage of the walking tour and hike, The Old House Café will be giv- ing out free water. They will also have dessert items available for purchase. Festival vendor and activity guide LOCATION VENDOR CATEGORY M32 Back Mountain Bloomers Crafts & Gifts G8,G9 Back Mt.
