REYNOLDSVILLE — Sparks were flying as blacksmiths put their skills on display at the Blacksmith Gathering, “Forges ‘n Fires,” over the weekend at Reynlow Park in Reynoldsville.
DuBOIS â A local nonprofit organization, PA Rural Artworks, recently donated money to help a special needs classroom at Oklahoma Elementary School in the DuBois Area School District.
Gene Sutton, of PA Rural Artworks, said he moved from Indiana, Pa., to DuBois a little over four years ago and while working as a Therapeutic Support Staff (TSS) for Behavioral Advancements, he started Rural Artworks, which is an organization dedicated to empower and unite independent artists and musicians within and around the local community. It provides funding and resources for charitable events and programs seeking out assistance.
Eventually, Sutton said he met Oklahoma Elementary Principal Tammy Cook and started to work with children with autism at the school.
