One day while at work I received a telephone call from the Blairsville Community Development Association. Since it is the town where we have our library, I was a bit excited. We were personally invited to attend their annual Knotweed Festival, a community event where they close off a street, have food booths, vendors, and entertainment. Since I could not talk while at work, I asked them to mail me some information and in a short time we were signed up.<\/p>\n
On the appointed Saturday, Tom and I, Kerry Speelman, John Long and Johnny Motto showed up to set up the booth. The weather was fine, a bit hot. We all took turns walking down to the food booth area and sampling some of the great food.<\/p>\n
We sold some hiking guides, answered lots of questions about cave, and had lots of visitors to the booth, including some BCDA members, who again thanked us for participating, and a candidate running for Indiana County Commissioner who bought a book. Afterwards we received a handwritten thank you note.
\nIt was a very good event, only three blocks from the library, and we felt very welcomed. It just reaffirmed the choice of the board to become part of the Blairsville community.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
