Lecture: The Whiskey Boys & The Watermelon Army

Beginning in 1791, farmers in western Pennsylvania protested the whiskey tax, an excise on distilled spirits imposed by the new federal Congress. Resistance grew into a rebellion that, by 1794, instigated an armed confrontation with the new national government. To suppress the uprising, President George Washington himself led a 13,000-man army into the field. The Whiskey Insurrection was more than a battle about taxes: it was nothing less than a contest over the meaning of the American Revolution. This lecture is being presented by Robyn Lily Davis, Ph.D., the Colonial and American Revolution specialist in the History Department at Millersville University. This event will be held in the Rock Ford Barn. No reservations are required. Seating is limited.

The event is free for members of the Rock Ford Foundation. $5 for non-members.

Time: 5:00 pm -6:30 pm

Location: Rock Ford Plantation - 881 Rockford Road, Lancaster, PA 17602

Lancaster Craft Beerfest

The 2017 Lancaster Craft Beerfest is brought to you by Joycat Events, a company formed by three Lancaster natives. We have partnered with the City of Lancaster Office of Promotion (LOOP) and the Federal Taphouse to bring this great event to the beer enthusiasts of Lancaster County and it’s neighbors.

On August 26th, the fifth annual Lancaster Craft Beerfest is returning to the vibrant, growing, and creative city of Lancaster. The last four years were successful and we look forward to bringing another fun event this year. Our goal is to provide craft beer drinkers with an amazing selection of unique beers so they can discover new and old favorites. There will be dozens of options from some of the best breweries, including those right in our neighborhood and from across the country. Not only will there be craft beer, there will be great food and live music to enjoy as well.

All of this will be conveniently located in the heart of downtown Lancaster. Thanks to our partner, LOOP, we’ll be closing down the 100 block of North Queen Street and holding the festival in Binns Park and Lancaster Square Park. We’ll have breweries in Binns Park and Lancaster Square, a “food court” and various craft beer related venders on North Queen Street, and live music playing in Binns Park. For many residents of Lancaster City this means the festival will just be a short walk away. For non-city residents there are parking garages and hotels within two blocks of the beerfest. The Hotel Lancaster is attached to the venue, if your’e interested in a room, please call 717-394-0900 and reference the name Beerfest2017. These rooms are based upon availability.

Time: 4:00 pm -7:30 pm

Location: 100 Block of North Queen Street

Long’s Park Summer Concert Series – Dale Watson

Now in its 55th season, the Summer Music Series is regarded as a top musical entertainment destination in one of the best outdoor venues in Central PA. These free concerts are made possible through the generosity of individuals and corporate partners. Proceeds from the Long’s Park Art Festival are the other important component to our funding process.

People power pulls it all together! Through the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and guided by a dedicated Board of Directors, the Long’s Park Amphitheater Foundation is excited to offer these outstanding performances. Thank you for being a part of this wonderful community event.

Dale Watson, keeper of the true country music flame, latest album Call Me Insane, was recorded in Austin with veteran producer Lloyd Maines (Robert Earl Keen, Jerry Jeff Walker, etc.). The Austin-based honky-tonker carries on in the tradition of Johnny Cash, Waylon Jennings and Willie Nelson with his “Ameripolitan” brand of American roots music.

Album highlights include “Jonesin’ For Jones,” a love song to the music of the legendary George Jones, “A Day At A Time,” about “getting by by barely getting by;” “Call Me Insane,” the album’s moody title track; “Bug Ya For Love,” a fun warning to all the single ladies, and “Mamas Don’t Let Your Cowboys Grow Up To Be Babies.” (Yes, it is an answer song to the Waylon Jennings/Willie Nelson hit.) “Crocodile Tears” is a tear-in-your-beer country song that sounds like an instant classic and “Burden Of The Cross” reveals Watson’s serious side.
