Millheim, PA -- The Penns Valley Conservation Association (PVCA) will hold its fourth annual Riversongs event at the Elk Creek Café in Millheim on Sunday, April 27th from 3:00 to 6:00pm. Attendees will be treated to live music, craft beers and fine foods available from the Café menu, and an opportunity to support Penns Valley’s local watershed organization by making the suggested donation of $10 at the door. Proceeds will assist with PVCA’s work on four farms, the restoration of Muddy Creek, and the exceptional Environmental Education provided in the classroom and in the field in the Upper Penns Creek Watershed.
Two bands will perform at Riversongs this year, with a guest appearance from Millheim’s own community choir, the Up Texas Chapel. Lux Bridge will headline, hailing from the Susquehanna Valley playing high energy Celtic music. Band members include Kathryn Brosky on fiddle, Carl Kirby on acoustic bass, guitar, and mandolin and percussionist Jake Kline.
The Poe Valley Troubadours will also perform at Riversongs, bringing a mix of Americana, roots, bluegrass, gospel and more. The band is made up of Steve Crawford and Jeremy Tosten on guitar, Steve Buckalew on fiddle, Mark Prave on upright bass, and Cory Neidig on banjo.
Proceeds raised through donations and a 50/50 drawing will benefit PVCA’s continued work in the watershed. The 50/50 drawing will take place towards the end of Riversongs. Participants need to be in attendance to win.
As is tradition, the annual PVCA Steam Cleanup will take place the day before Riversongs on Saturday, April 26th from 9:00am-12:00pm in support of the Great American Cleanup. Volunteers are encouraged and will meet at the Coburn Park at9:00am to be sent out to their cleanup sites.
Raffle tickets will also be available at Riversongs to support the new Low-Powered FM Community Radio Station, WSOV: A Service of PVCA. Items on raffle will be a custom built amplifier and a cigar box slide guitar (both to be demonstrated during the event) to benefit the station.
