Confluence - June Update
Confluence has had several events along the Trail at the start of summer that I was able to attend and here's a recap of what they were.
Old Home Day on 6/25 - This event went very well. The Confluence VFD chicken dinner sold out pretty early as many were attendance, both young and old. A town yard sale was also in conjuction on this day bringing many out. Later during the day, a German-style polka and oompa band (Shippensburg Blaskapelle) played in the bandstand. The band was a popular attration for the Old Home Day.
River and Wind Challenge on 6/4 - This yearly Great Allegheny Passage ride was yet again a success. There were over 100 participants. The ride to Meyersdale started at 8:00 AM with 75 riders and the ride to Ohiopyle started at noon with 37 riders.
Confluence Creative Arts Center is coming along with its weekly outreach. Volunteer times are every week on Thursdays with unique events most weekends. One popular gathering is "Coffee House" on Friday evenings.
