(Brighton Twp., Pa.) Following a successful first day of the return of The Maple Syrup & Music Festival, the second day wrapped up the event, with festival goers leaving with full stomachs and smiling faces.
PUSH Beaver County took over the operation this year, with a major addition being music performances by local artists. Besides the food and music, the festival offered numerous local vendor booths and war re-enactments, making for a great family friendly experience.

Dan Campbell made sure the Personality Prize Wheel kept spinning, giving away prizes that were courtesy of Herr’s Snacks, Gnu’s Body Works, Fun Fore All, and the Pittsburgh Penguins.

Several of Beaver County’s top musical acts took to the stage set up by the park, while the traditional elements of the festival–pancakes, sausage, syrup, vendors, crafters, candy, war re-enactments and occasional loud cannon blasts–came back as if they had never left.
Beaver County Radio also made a return to the festival, as Mike Romigh and Matt Drzik along with Dan Campbell had the Personality Prize Wheel rolling throughout the early afternoon during Solid Gold Saturday Afternoon with JD Merkel. Several winners got prizes courtesy of Herr’s Snacks, Gnu’s Body Works, Fun Fore All, and even the Pittsburgh Penguins!
