Duncannon A.T. Community Committee hosts coloring contest at Duncannon's Winterfest

Gigi Sylvester, Age 12

Duncannon’sAppalachian Trail Community Committee (DATC) held a coloring contest for Duncannon area children at the Borough’s recent WinterFest celebration.  Winners Abby Heckard, Age 11, and Gigi Sylvester, Age 12, colored vibrant recycling snail pictures while learning more about their Community's connections to the Appalachian National Scenic Trail.  Duncannon Borough is one of the few towns in Pennsylvania the Appalachian Trail travels directly through and DATC hosted a town-wide A.T. Community designation ceremony as part of a day-long Trails festival this past June.  DATC recently launched a new web site and is starting planning for another event in June 2013!

And who can forget the winners of the Susquenita Middle School "Trail to Every Classroom" Post-Card Art Contest this past June!  They're proudly on display in area businesses and in the Appalachian Trail Conservancy's Mid-Atlantic Regional Office.  See below photo.
