NON-CLUB EVENTS / OPPORTUNITIES

We are always on the lookout for events that are photographically interesting. If you know of any upcoming festivals, fairs, dedications, historical commemorations, bird migrations, civic events, etc., please bring them to the attention of members of the Executive Committee. Events with enough potential general membership interest might result in a formal club Shoot Out being planned. For smaller, or more specialized events of less broad membership interest, the event might be publicized to all members via email, newsletter and/or notice on the PPC Website cover page "Snapshots" news section and with more detail in this section.

RAD DREW: a well-known expert in the growing field of Smartphone Photography, talking about how to use your smartphone to create images with impact,

TOBYHANNA MILLPOND #1 ICE HARVEST 2019 WRAP-UP

From: The Leonard Family and the Coolbaugh Township Historical Association

Thank you to everyone who came out to experience the century-old practice of ice harvesting on Saturday. From the veteran ice harvesters who shared their stories, to the first-timers, and to youngsters who cut ice and guided the 450 cakes of 8” thick ice into the icehouse, all had a great time. We especially appreciate all who helped in the ice harvest preparations and managing the event, lunches, breaks, etc. Preparing for the ice harvest was especially challenging this year due the heavy rain; we had some trouble starting the 1919 Gifford Wood ice saw, but we did manage to get 28 tons of ice into the icehouse. Three fine Norwegian Fjord horses from Black Horse Farm Carriages pulled three cakes at a time into the icehouse. Best of all, we again made some new friends, connected with old ones, and all had fun despite having to brave temperatures hovering around 20 degrees.

The next harvest is scheduled for January 25, 2020 weather permitting.
