5 TGIF never looked so GOOD!

I received a wonderful gift from a complete stranger recently. I was on my way to an appointment and was running late. I had the windows down and the sunroof open. The warm breeze felt so good after being in the office all day. So, instead of my usual thinking about the next three things on my To Do list, I slowed down and decided to enjoy the moment. I thought, “What does it matter if I’m just a few minutes late?” Something told me to slow down and take it all in. There was an anticipation that something wonderful was going to happen. And it did. Traffic was backed up. I waited patiently but needed to get into the center lane for my turn at the next light. I eased into the turning lane and started passing those waiting to go straight through the intersection. Again, something told me to slow down, and as I did, a gentleman pulled out of the lane of stopped traffic right in front of me, causing me to brake. He proceeded to the light, making the left turn just as the light turned yellow, then red. And there I sat, having to wait for the next green light. Instead of being irritated that I was now going to be late for sure, I found myself smiling, feeling good that I was able to be courteous rather than upset. Now I was curious and began to wonder where the gentleman might be going. Finally it was my turn. I rounded the corner, and bingo! Rather than going into the nearby restaurant, the man who had pulled out in front of me was standing on the sidewalk waiting for me. He was jumping and waving his arms in the air, mouthing “Thank you!” I marveled at his enthusiasm! My existing smile grew wider, and my hand flew up in an excited “You’re welcome” salute back. Why am I telling you this story? Because as you get ready to enjoy your summer, don’t just go through the act of “having fun.” Really enjoy it! Be considerate, and thank those who make your experience possible. And, remember; be courteous while navigating our highways to your next adventure!

P.S. If you are the gentleman in this story (You know who you are!), you gave me a wonderful gift. You reminded me that we still have a choice (and more importantly, a responsibility) to act gracefully toward each other. Thank you!

Route 30 stretches across the U.S. from Astoria, Ore., to Atlantic City, N.J. In Pennsylvania, the historic highway enters from the west in Beaver County and exits near Camden, N.J. Much of PA Route 30 is part of the historic Lincoln Highway, which was the first paved transcontinental highway in the nation. In 1995, Pennsylvania Gov. Tom Ridge designated the 200-mile stretch from Westmoreland County to Adams County as the Lincoln Highway Heritage Corridor. Even though this designation highlights only a portion of PA Route 30, none of the highway is without its share of rich history.

Pittsburgh

This road trip begins at the site for which Pittsburgh got its name. The city’s historical past has its roots in the conflict that preceded the war for in-

dependence. The French & Indian War pitted British Colonial America against the French and Native Americans who wanted control of the frontier, which at the time was western PA. Fort Pitt was strategically constructed at the forks of the Ohio River. The original structure was called Fort Prince George until the French commandeered it in 1754. Upon taking control, the French began construction on Fort Duquesne. An attempt to recapture the fort by British Gen. Braddock in 1755 was unsuccessful. A later attempt by Gen. John Forbes and a young George Washington resulted in the outnumbered French burning the fort to the ground. After the victory, Forbes named the site “Pittsburgh” for the British Secretary of State, William Pitt. Today, the history of the fort is told at the Fort Pitt Museum, located in Pittsburgh’s historic Point State Park.

Ligonier

By Wendy Royal

The museum is open daily from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. You can’t hit the road just yet. A must-see while in Pittsburgh is the Sen. John Heinz History Center, Pennsylvania’s largest history museum. The 275,000-square-foot affiliate of the Smithsonian Institution covers everything from the French & Indian War to memorable gridiron matchups of the Steelers. The Sen. John Heinz History Center is open daily from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Drive roughly 50 miles east and you’ll reach Ligonier, a quaint town, also with strong ties to the French & Indian War. When Forbes was given the charge to reclaim Fort Duquesne for the Crown, he made preparations to make sure that his army would be well supplied and protected as they marched through hostile territory. Forbes’ first order of business was to construct a new road across Pennsylvania, guarded by a chain of fortifications. The last and most elaborate of the forts along the road was Fort Ligonier. The fort served as a supply depot and staging area for 5,000 American and British troops. Eight acres of the original site have been preserved, and the fort was reconstructed. Inside, visitors will find the officers’ mess, barracks, quartermaster and the underground magazine, to name a few. A 1,600-foot outer retrenchment surrounds the fort. External buildings include the Pennsylvania Hospital, a smoke house, bake ovens, a forge and a sawmill. Fort Ligonier is open daily from April 21 through November 11, 2012.

route, has experienced the often-devastating results of culture clashes. Stories of the struggles of early settlers permeate the area. The threat of attacks by native peoples on encroaching pioneers was a constant concern. One such attack occurred on July 26, 1764, at a schoolhouse near Greencastle. Schoolmaster Enoch Brown pleaded for the lives of his students, but he was shot and scalped. Eleven children were scalped, although one child managed to survive the massacre. Brown and his students were buried together, and a memorial stands in remembrance of the horrific event. Later, the area played an important role in the Underground Railroad. Radical abolitionist John Brown chose Chambersburg as a staging point for his raid on the Harper’s Ferry arsenal. While in Chambersburg, Brown was known as mine owner Dr. Isaac Smith. With this false identity, he was able to receive large shipments of arms without raising suspicions. Renowned abolitionist Frederick Douglass met with Brown in secret in an attempt to dissuade him from carrying out his plans for Harper’s Ferry. Douglass was unsuccessful, and Brown’s raid ultimately failed. Brown was found guilty of murder, treason and inciting a slave insurrection. He and nine of his followers were hanged in Charles Town, Va. For nearly a year and a half, Chambersburg was embroiled in the Civil War. At one point, 60,000 Confederate troops, including Gen. A.P. Hill and Confederate Commander Robert E. Lee, camped Staff Photo in and around the Above: A small log structure within Fort Ligonier.

another of Forbes’ fortifications, Fort Bedford. In 1769,James Smith and his “Black Boys” captured the fort, which was then occupied by British troops, giving it the dubious distinction as the first British fort to be captured by American rebels. After the French & Indian War ended Fort Bedford was used as a British outpost on the frontier. The Fort Bedford Museum is located along the Juniata River in Bedford. The museum is open from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Wednesdays to Sundays from May to October. While in Bedford, a visit to Old Bedford Village is highly recommended. This living history village consists of 38 buildings including the village church, the broom shop, blacksmith’s shop, a school, cabins and other structures typical to 18th- and 19th-century life. Throughout the year, Old Bedford Village hosts re-enactments and living history events. To view summer events in the village, visit whereandwhen. com. Old Bedford Village (OBV) is open from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. every day except Wednesday from Memorial Day through Labor Day. From Labor Day through the end of October, OBV is open Thursdays to Sundays only.

becoming quite clear that the Confederate cause was lost. Having sustained great loss in the South, Gen. Jubal Early issued a ransom on the town of Chambersburg in the amount of $100,000 in gold or $500,000 in Yankee currency. Since the town was unable to pay the ransom, Chambersburg was set ablaze.

York

Columbia/Wrightsville

With its proximity to the MasonDixon Line you can imagine that the city of York also has a Civil War story or two to tell. Yet it is York’s impressive connections to the birth of our nation that we’ll explore on our roadtrip.

The border between York and Lancaster counties is the Susquehanna River. Wrightsville is on the York County side, and Columbia is in Lancaster County. Both have very storied pasts, but it’s the Civil War history of the bridge that

Malvern

As this historical road trip takes you into Chester County (the county first created in Pennsylvania), you are drawing closer to the nation’s birthplace. Malvern is the site of the bloody Revolutionary War battle known as the Paoli Massacre.

Five days after Washington’s defeat at Brandywine, the Continental Army intended to confront British Gen. William Howe’s army in nearby Goshen. But, a relentless rainstorm prevented the battle. Howe stayed in Goshen until the weather cleared. Washington’s troops moved on to get more ammunition, but they left behind Brig. Gen. (“Mad”) Anthony Wayne and his division. Wayne’s responsibility was to carry out a surprise attack on the rear column of the British army. On Sept. 18, British Gen. Charles

commander since the day prior. What Wayne didn’t know was those messages were intercepted, and Cornwallis knew of Wayne’s position. Wayne set up camp and waited for reinforcements. As the troops bedded down for the night, Wayne busied himself planning his surprise attack and making sure all the ammunition was dry after recent rains. That evening, an old man was brought before the general to recount a story he heard about a servant who was captured by the British army. Before being released, the servant overheard troops discussing an attack on Wayne that very night. Wayne dismissed the man’s story and remained stoic in the belief that the British were busy planning an attack on Philadelphia. He did, however, send out more men to patrol the road leading to the British camp. On Sept. 20, 1777, 5,000 British troops under the command of Gen. Charles Grey were ordered to unload their weapons or remove the flints from their guns. Only bayonets or swords would be used in their secret raid on American troops.

captured. Using the bayonet as a strategy was not uncommon to the British, but the colonists found the practice to be barbaric. “Remember Paoli” became a battle cry for the Continental Army and caused the British troops to fear the revenge of Mad Anthony. The Paoli Battlefield has remained almost completely unchanged for 235 years. Each year, the organizers of Night of the Generals Candlelight Tour & Illumination invite visitors to experience their piece of Revolutionary War history. A candlelit trail leads guests to different stops, where re-enactors recount battles of the 1777 Philadelphia Campaign. The 2012 event will take place on Oct. 8 from 7 to 9 p.m. The Paoli Battlefield Park is open from sunrise to sunset. Also, throughout the year, the General Warren Inne hosts a lecture series. Built in 1745, the General Warren Inne is no stranger to American history. Because of its location on the main road between Lancaster and Philadelphia, it was a major carriage stop. As a Tory stronghold, the inn housed many important British guests, including Generals Howe and Cornwallis. The Paoli Massacre was planned and launched from the General Warren Inne. Folklore has it that Gen. Grey tortured a local blacksmith on the inn’s third floor to gain information. The General Warren Inne continues to welcome weary travelers with a fine meal and a comfortable room. The General Warren Inn, 9 Old Lancaster Road, Malvern, PA 19355

After his military service, Wayne retired to Historic Waynesborough for 10 years, until President George Washington called him back to service. Wayne’s tenure as major general and commander-in-chief of the Legions of America started in 1792. He died just four years later. Members of the Wayne family continuously owned Waynesborough from 1724 to 1965. Today, tours are given Thursdays to Sundays from 1 to 3 p.m. from March 31 through mid-December.

Family, Fireworks & Fun:

2 Great State College Central PA 4th Fest

Every year on the Fourth of July, State College throws a birthday party like no other. The

Central PA 4th Fest is a community-wide patriotic celebration that attracts families from all over

the East Coast. With so many communities hosting July 4th celebrations, why does 4th Fest attract 60-80,000 people for a one-day event? Apparently, word has gotten out that it’s been rated the third best fireworks display in the country, after New York and Boston. For one day, 4th Fest takes over the area around Beaver Stadium, the Bryce Jordan Center and Medlar Field at Penn State University. The festival’s executive director, Bernie Keisling, enthusiastically talks of the more than 500 volunteers as if they were family. “This is an all-volunteer event. It’s amazing! Many of them just get a couple weeks off, and then they get started planning next year’s event.” When asked what sets 4th Fest apart from other celebrations, Keisling replied, “You don’t have to have a lot of money to come to 4th Fest. Lots of families are going through tough times. A family can come and watch the parade, take part in activities at the children’s craft tent, enjoy free entertainment, get a free hot dog, a piece of birthday cake and then sit and watch the fireworks. Families can spend an entire day and not spend a dime. And then there are those who will spend money on rides and games, food and other things, but the thing is, there is something for everyone at 4th Fest.” The day stay starts off with a bang at 9 a.m. with the Firecracker 4K. Last year, 1,000 participants took part in the family friendly run/walk that attracts people from all skill levels and ages. New this year is 4th Fest’s “America’s Got Heroes Parade,” which will step off in downtown State College and end near the festival. Each year, the festivities include a special attraction. This year, a World War II B-25 Bomber will be on display for people to get an up-close look at the vintage plane, and there will be flyovers so people can get a view of a piece of aviation history in flight. What makes the B-25 Bomber so special is the fact that there are only a couple hundred left in the world, and of those, only a few have paperwork certifying that the aircraft flew in combat. The plane that will be displayed is one of the rare few. The festival would not be complete without the Midway Carnival, featuring perennial favorites 46 - W&W Summer 2012

Festivals like the Ferris wheel, kiddie cars and games for every age. What’s a birthday celebration without cake? A cake for a party this big has to be enormous, right? Well, 4th Fest has it covered. At 6 p.m., everyone is invited to sing “Happy Birthday” to America before a 14-foot American flag birthday cake is cut and served to everyone! The highlight of the day is certainly the spectacular fireworks display that is planned, set up and executed by 50 to 60 trained volunteers. Yes, that’s right. The third best fireworks display in the country is not accomplished by a pyrotechnics company, but by community volunteers. The main attraction begins promptly at 9:15 p.m. and runs nonstop for approximately 45 minutes. The musically choreographed fireworks have embedded rain protection, so they go off even in the rain. These volunteers really know what they’re doing! For those who want to learn more about how they make the magic happen, a pyrotechnics demonstration is given at the Pyro Tent at scheduled times in the afternoon and evening. Following the fireworks display, a street dance is held for those who are not quite ready to end this incredible day.

Central Pennsylvania Festival of the Arts

Exactly one week after 4th Fest, another nationally recognized event comes to State College. The Central PA Festival of the Arts (CPFA) attracts more than 125,000 people annually. The festivities get started with Children and Youth Day on July 11. This day is all about the kids. The highlight of the day is the Children and Youth Sidewalk Sale, where young artisans display and sell their handcrafted works of art. The sidewalk sale is held from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Also featured are

performances by and for young people, workshops and a grand procession through the festival. The CPFA’s 46th Annual Sidewalk Sale and Exhibition begins on Thursday, July 12, and runs through Sunday, July 15. Artisans from all over the country exhibit and sell their wares at this event, which consistently ranks as one of the top outdoor fine art and craft shows in the nation. 47 - W&W Summer 2012

In addition to the sidewalk sale and exhibition, there are performances and events going on throughout State College and the Penn State campus. Sidney Friedman Park is the place to go for a very different form of art. Sand sculptor Greg Glenn will transform a 25-ton mound of sand into an incredible exhibit! This 12-time World Sand Sculpture Champion (solo and team) hails from California, where he has been a full-time sand sculptor since 1987. Back again this year on July 14 and 15 is the Italian Street Painting Festival on Heister Street, between College and Beaver avenues. A European tradition since the 16th century, street painting is done with chalks. The wonderful thing about this exhibit is that festival-goers see and interact with the artists as they create their masterpieces. Unfortunately, because of the nature of the art, the exhibit is on a weather-permitting basis. Another highlight of CPFA includes BookFest PA on Saturday, July 14, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., at the Schlow Centre Region Library. In its third year, BookFest PA is a celebration of books, authors and reading. The Book Tent will once again be the place where readers can meet the featured authors at this year’s event. The lineup of speakers includes Sara Shepard, author of “Pretty Little Liars,” the hugely popular series of books now in its third season of television. Young children will love Artie Bennet, author of two preschool-age books, “The Butt Book” and “Poopendous.” Bennet will feature the books at story times in the library. The Sue Crowe Memorial Arts Festival Races will be held on Sunday, July 15. Registration is at Medlar Field on the PSU campus. Races include a 10K and 5K, as well as quarter-mile and half-mile races for kids. For a complete lineup of events slated for the Central Pennsylvania Festival of the Arts, log on to whereandwhen.com. The vibrancy of State College is so well-illustrated in these two events. The celebration of family, friends, country and art will once again bring people from all walks of life to Central PA to enjoy what makes not just this region, but America, special.

short film contest, which pays tribute to Blobfest’s director, the late Irvin “Shorty” Yeaworth. Did I mention that this year’s Blobfest kicks off on Friday the 13th? I can’t imagine a more fitting day to kick off the event. Regardless of the date, Friday night at Blobfest wouldn’t be the same without the “Run Out.” Each year, participants reenact the scene where people are frantically running out of the theater to escape the Blob. You can see last year’s reenactment on Blobfest’s YouTube page. Throughout the weekend, The Colonial Theatre shows “The Blob” and other movies of that genre. That in itself is a treat, since the days of the Creature Double Feature are long gone. It is a bit surreal to be sitting in the theater watching a movie of the Blob attacking the very theater you’re watching it in.

On the third floor of the Colonial, you’ll have an opportunity to meet the movie’s villain. Some of the original silicone gel used to create The Blob is on display. Touching it is strictly forbidden. If you remember the scene in the movie with the old man, you won’t be tempted.
