If you think you have to venture to far-off places to find weird and wacky festivals and events, you're wrong.
Just look at these gems that will take place right here in Pennsylvania this fall -- highlighted in a recent press release from the state tourism department.
Pocono Garlic Festival, Sept. 5 and 6 at Shawnee Ski Area. In addition to live musical entertainment and garlic-themed crafts, you can try culinary delights such as roasted garlic ice cream or garlic funnel cakes. Wow.
The following weekend, head to Stahlstown for the 101st Flax Scutching Festival, said to be the second-oldest continuous flax scutching festival in the world. (I imagine there's a lot of competition for that honor.) Apparently, flax scutching is the art of making linen from the flax plant.
And then there's always the
Coal and Coke Heritage Music Festival in Uniontown, Sept. 19.
