Things to do this weekend


There are festivals, and there are festivals. But none so unique as the Blobfest, held in mid July each year in Phoenixville, Pennsylvania, a small town on the outskirts of Philadelphia. It was here in 1957 that a small group of moviemakers on a very low budget filmmed The Blob, one of the best "B" Sci-Fi movies of the decade-and according to some, of all time.



The Great Green America Fest: July 13, 14 and 15, 2007,Friday Evening, July 13 - 5:30PM - 11PM Saturday & Sunday, July 14-15 - 11A =On the grounds of the Pennsylvania Renaissance Faire in northern Lancaster County PA.... Dedicated to participating in the preservation and betterment of the environment, which the festival producers and their patrons share. Interspersed among the displays and guest speakers will be live music ranging from country and bluegrass, to blues and rock, to Celtic and folk. As always, the Faire’s microbrewery and winery will be open, as well as some 20 food kitchens serving heart-healthy foods.

Our mission is to produce an annual Festival that has as its core the saving of, and the “greening” of, the environment. The Festival will deliver messages of education and awareness through the active participation of popular entertainers, environmentally conscious groups and businesses, their displays and participatory events
