The Kutztown Area Historical Society is holding an Arts and Crafts Festival on Saturday, May 22.
The outdoor event, rain or shine, opens at 10 a.m. and closes at 3 p.m. Admission is free.
âWe werenât able to hold our annual Holiday Festival because of the pandemic, so we thought weâd invite our vendors to an outdoor event to help them and to give the Kutztown community a springtime event,â said festival chair Kerri Shegan. âWeâll have some new vendors, too. Iâm excited to see their creations.â

This creek is the most highly PFAS contaminated of all the tributaries that empty into the lake based on a recent study funded by The Sea Grant Institute (a PhD student at UW Madison).

As a kid growing up in the northern Wisconsin port city of Marinette, Koller didn’t think much of being around the facility or drinking the city’s water.
