At dusk, there will be fireworks on the football field.

Don't forget to display your Coalie Pickman in your yard or business this week. The idea is to "Discover Blossburg".The location of all Coalie's will be printed for the Coal Festival. So far, Coalie's have been spotted at The Farmer's Market, on North Williamson Rd., South Williamson Rd., Nevins St., Main St. and even in Ralston. If you haven't gotten yours yet, don't worry. Bob Martin at the Bloss Hardware has plenty. He has 33" for $15, 23" for $10. They will be displayed the entire week of the Coal Festival so hurry and get yours today.
