The 2nd Annual Pocono Climate Action Fest 2008 took place on Sunday April 20th at The Deer Head Inn* and The Antoine Dutot Museum and Gallery* in Delaware Water Gap, PA. The day included eminent Speakers such as Monroe County Commissioner Theresa Merli who spoke on ways people can effect positive global changes to the environment through their individual actions and in participation of local initiatives. There were several booths in support of the environmental theme of the festival which include organizations such as The Kirkridge Retreat Center* and Quite Valley Living Historical Farm Museum. Music outside The Antoine Dutot Museum and Gallery* was provided by Uncle Pete Tawny and the Juggernauts* and Blue Planet* while the Deer Head Inn* provided music by Bob Dorough*, Spencer and Nancy Reed*, and John Donato and the Pretty Boys. Other events included a showing of the Film "A Crude Awakening” and music by Uke Jackson. The event is sponsored by The Buzz Arts Guide* and the Pocono Progressives. Nancy Scheirer (of Kirkridge*), Jill and Bob Goodwin, Janet Lawson*, Christine Griffin (of The Buzz Arts Guide*), and Arline M. Smeltz were among the few yet dedicated souls who came to enjoy the festive environment. Please Explore The Pocono Climate Action Fest Website for more information. I’ve forgotten to take my camera so I didn’t take any pictures. However, you can see photos from last year’s festival at The Forwardian Arts Society Blog at Yahoo 360 (360.yahoo.com/pauladam) in the flicker Climate Fest 2007 Gallery.
