What began around a dinner table in 1979 grew into one of Warren County’s most beloved traditions. Host Sydney Harris sits down with director Melissa J. White to trace the Wild Wind Folk Art and Craft Festival from its windy hilltop beginnings to the vibrant two-day celebration it is today. Discover how families, artists, and neighbors built a community around handmade work, from glassblowing and chainsaw carving to pottery, quilting, metal yard art, and even a root beer sign passed through generations.

Melissa shares how the festival keeps its tradition of quality alive, why new trends can blend beautifully with timeless crafts, and how its Bicentennial roots still echo today as we approach America’s 250th. If you love stories rooted in place, tradition, and the people who keep Pennsylvania’s creative spirit alive, you won’t want to miss this episode.
