Creek Fest was the event to attend again this year the first weekend of May at Carpenter Recreation Area in the White Clay Creek State Park and was an afternoon of fun for everyone! Approximately 600 attendees enjoyed the live classic American Roots music by the Whirled Peas, and were engaged by professional storyteller Bill Wood who’s stories have educated more than a half-million children. Phung Luu amazed the audience with the soaring power yet precision and control displayed during the Free-Flight Bird Encounter. Delicious delights were savored from Peace A Pizza and ice cream by UDairy Creamery (cow to cone!)
