Core, WV/Mt.Morris,PA- This April, Mason-Dixon Historical Park will be hosting its 20th Annual Ramp Festival. In the past twenty years, so much tradition has been created by the hard work and busy hands of the park volunteers, and those traditions will only improve in 2010. It's been the focus of the Park and its volunteers to make its grounds a family-friendly environment, full of fun times and great memories.
In past years, the park has offered many weekends filled with great, homemade food, dance-worthy music and awe-inspiring artisans and crafters. For you Ramp Fest newbies, there's more than just ramps to sink your teeth into. Within this crazy weekend ready to rock your ol'factory senses, there's a mini-festival hidden among the many rows of vendors. The 4th Annual Ramp Rally is available for Scotty Enthusiasts such as David Turner, who has been at all four rallies.
To further add to your family's photo albums, many more festivities have been planned. In 2010, the Ramp Festival will continue to serve up ramp delicasies by famous Ramp Chef Walter Danna, dish out live music entertainment from bands such as the 501 Band and present original artwork and crafts by a vast assortment of vendors, all with their own flavor- just like the many ways they present ramps to you!
With so much in store for festival returnees and even people new to ramps, be sure to mark your calendar for the 20th Annual Mason-Dixon Ramp Festival on April 17th and 18th!
For more details on the Ramp Festival go to the website's "Festivals" page.
At right: David Turner displays his craftwork in front of his Scotty Camper. David and his wares are a regular site at the Mason-Dixon Ramp Festival each year as he organizes the Ramp Rally for fellow Scotty entusiasts.
Be sure to stop in and pay David a visit this year.
The 4th Annual Serro Scotty Ramp Rally will take place this year during the Mason-Dixon Ramp Festival. Serro Scotty Campers were manufactured in Pennsylvania and were a cornerstone of the American camping tradition during the 50's & 60's.
Stop by the 20th Annual Mason-Dixon Ramp Festival and visit with many of these camper owners. A great piece of America's history will be on display as the Ramp Rally blends it's unique heritage into the festival weekend.
