Subject: RE: Twin Tiers (PA,NY) USA Music Scene
It's a little late to attend this event unless you are in the area since it is ending today, but for next year, keep your eye out in the Mansfield, PA area for the Fabulous 1890's Festvial! Lots of great old time music was enjoyed last night and today...still some time left for today if you are in the area! Not only is there music but there was a motorless parade, bands, animals, floats, horse and buggies, children dressed for the time period (adults too), a small fair in the town park...lots of fun for everyone! There were/are hot air balloons, spots exhibitions and then there's the event that is the center of it all...the very first night football game under lights took place at Symthe Park, Mansfield, PA in the 1890s. That game is re-enacted, complete with the uniforms worn then and the same rules. It's a great event and something to plan for in the future!
