Folklife Celebrated

By Linda Tancs

For 60 years they’ve been celebrating the way of American folklife at the Kutztown Folk Festival in Pennsylvania Dutch country, and this year is no different.  So you have no excuse to miss the continuous entertainment on five stages every day from 3 July to 11 July.  Where else will you find a reenactment of an actual 19th century hanging, a Mennonite wedding exhibition, early farming technique demonstrations or an actual country auction all in one venue? If the activities don’t rouse you, then surely the aroma of freshly baked bread from the 19th century bread oven or the roasted ox will beckon you. Save some room for the shoo-fly pie.
