The 2007 Clean Water Festival is almost here! The event, to be held September 15 and 16 in Linesville, PA, promises to be full of fun and excitement this year!

“Plans are set in motion for our best event ever!” said Brian Pilarcik of the Crawford County Conservation District. “The Clean Water Festival Committee has been working hard to put together an interactive area with educational displays, programs and presentations to grab everyone’s attention. Test your skills at one of the many interactive stations, or listen to one of the many presentations. There will be plenty to do for all ages. And best of all it is free.”

The Clean Water Festival, which annually pulls in 3,000 to 5,000 participants, will include demonstrations by local experts on topics such as fly tying and casting demos, forestry and tree ID tours, duck banding demonstrations, water safety dog demos, stream critters, as well as much more!

Participants will also have the opportunity to make fish print t-shirts, paint with soils, play games, as well as participate in lots of other interactive demonstrations. There is something for the whole family!

During the same weekend Ducks Unlimited will be hosting the 26th annual Pymatuning Waterfowl & Outdoor Expo in Linesville.

The Clean Water Festival will be located at the Linesville State Fish Hatchery on Linesville/Hartstown Road just south of Linesville.
