Taste of Folk College Schedule

Potluck

There is a potluck on Saturday as part of Taste of Folk College. 

HOWEVER, we have NO access to kitchen facilities.
Please bring a crockpot if your dish needs to stay warm, or some way to keep your items cold if it needs that.

We ask everyone to clean up their potluck items right after the meal.

Instrument Exchange

Here is an opportunity to sell the instruments you’re ready to part with.

The Huntingdon County Arts Council will act as the sales agent. The Arts Council will give the seller 90% of the sales price (so price accordingly), and we have to charge 6% sales tax to the buyer. 

There will be a form to fill out when you arrive for any instruments you want to sell.
