I'm visiting my wonderful.Aunt, driving by I thought, "mmmm, this looks interesting." WOW! What a…read morefantastic experience! I met one of the owners, Candy, & her beautiful daughter, working there. They let me taste several flavors. It was all just delicious! I'm actually salivating as I write this! I chose Blueberry & Coffee flavor in a waffle bowl! Livin' the Best Life! I was told it would taste like blueberry coffee cake, & indeed it did!! I don't know if my pants can afford for me to stop there again but my wallet can! 4 scoops & 2 waffle bowls totalled $7.50! Folks if you don't give this place a try, you are missin' out! In addition to fabulous ice cream they sell gorgeous hanging flower baskets & some potted flower arrangements (live plants.) I'm just so tickled I stopped here & I'll definitely be back again! Right after I buy bigger pants!

If you are a food vendor stay away from this place. We where told that we can submit a…read moreapplication and the committee would make a decision. Before we could get the application in the guy in charge of the food vending is Rick Snyder and he sent us a email telling us that at this time they are not accepting any funnel cake vendors. So I guess he makes the decisions for the committee without an application. I think it is funny how he has his food trailers there and I am sure he does not want competition.

Classic Appalachian Arts Festival. It is a great alternative to the more corporate mentality of the…read morebig arts fest up the road. Family friendly and fun. Love the carnival food. Love the types of artists. You will see art like metal sculptures, basket weaving, some steam punk, salvage artists, and traditional painters. There is typically country or 50s/60s rock played by bands. The festival is laid back. Parking is good with typically 5 buck spots at private lots. The arts and crafts at this festival are typically all over the map. But all of it is a joy to view. It is easier the navigate than the one up the road a well.

Annual event in downtown State College. There are tons of artists booths to wander through. On the…read moreexpensive end for a grad student budget (i.e., I could afford a little wooden spoon for $6 or a mounted photograph for $15). If I could go back in time, I'd buy some pottery on the Children's Day (Day 1) because surely those would've been cheaper. There is also a People's Choice Arts Festival in Boalsburg during the same time. I heard they have more local artists and things are generally more affordable. Gotta check that out next year. There are also different performers and artists; check out the website for the schedule. The funnest part for kids has got to be the water structure that's built on S. Allen Street. Where's the one for adults?! Lastly and most importantly, the food: This year there were booths with Funnel Cakes ($5), gyros (good but paying $8 for one makes it taste less good), greek food (including a salad), fried seafood, fried rice. There are also nonprofit/fundraising groups stationed throughout the area offering drinks and snacks for a donation.

I can't believe arts festival doesn't have more reviews! This is one of the biggest events of the…read moreyear, outside of football. People come from all over the country, even the world. Arts of all kinds, from metal statues, jewelry, wooden furniture, leather purses, to photography, modern Art, stained glass, clothing, pottery. It's spread out from on campus all the way back to Fairmont Avenue. There are plenty of food vendors, although I would like to see some new ones. Concerts on several stages, all of which are free. The best ones typically happen on the campus right in front of old Main. Everything set up early in the morning and goes until like eight or 9 o'clock at night. There is no way you could come to Arts Fest and not find something you want! Whether you were looking for a giant piece of art for your office or some cute little earrings no one else has. Arts festival is for you.

I ended up buying a couple bottles. Being close to Penn State, they cater to the college crowd, but they still have a large selection of dry wines as well as the sweet. It's a bit of a drive from the main road but it's a lovely building with indoor and outdoor tables and plenty of land and woods to take a walk if you so desire. You can bring your own food or they do have a selection of cheeses available to enjoy with wine.

The kids snacked on cheese and crackers while we sampled wine flights and eventually shared a bottle of wine. The highlight was when the owner stopped by to give us a little wine education, which made the experience even more special.
