Today we #TBT to the planning process for Peoples

Today we #TBT to the planning process for Peoples Natural Gas Park, which was developed by Johnstown Area Heritage Association! The park opened in 2012 after years of staging the AmeriServ Flood City Music Festival using temporary infrastructure. This year the park hosted a record 28 events -- the music festival, 4 additional festivals, 6 concerts, and 2 races, along with a wide array of private events like wedding ceremonies and receptions, class reunions, corporate gatherings, fundraisers and more. Here, Zack and Phil Balko look at a rendering for the proposed park; and a juxtaposition of how we used to stage the event using tents, and the park. Photos by Kevin Stiffler.

If you have an instrument to donate (wind instruments are also welcome!), get in touch and they'll help you get your instrument in the hands of someone who needs it!
