The two day outdoor festival, held on the grounds of Split Rock Resort located in beautiful Lake Harmony, will feature continuous musical entertainment on three separate stages, 31 of Pennsylvania's finest wineries, a wide selection of food vendors to tempt your taste buds, AND Me! Educational Seminars will be held during the Festival so check them out and learn some new things about wine. Split Rock also offers a weekend package for overnight guests. Each Festival attendee will receive a commemorative wine tasting glass.
I know it’s a hike but it should be worth the trip and lots of fun. Please try and check it out.

Tuesdays is the annual outdoor Boalsburg Farmers Market held at the PA 28th Division Military Museum grounds. This year I'll be a guest there once a month through the end of October. I'll post my dates two months out.
Something else that is new for this year is an Artists Day which will happen September 2nd.
This Market has all the wonderful offerings as its sister event in State College but without the congestion and parking problems.
Please come this week and every Tuesday to fill your eco-friendly, re-usable bags with organic, farm fresh, lovingly grown and produced goodness from the heart of the land we’ve been given to care for, enjoy and live from.

Wow! I was blown away when my local paper the Centre Daily Times featured me on the front cover of their Living section. I knew an article was in the works by a lovely young woman Jennie Daley, a freelance writer I met at a friend’s place, but didn’t know when in would appear and how big it would be. Well the timing was perfect – right before my book signing at Barnes & Noble – and the size of the piece was HUGE!
A big thank you to the CDT, Jennie and photographer Nabil Mark.
From Denny's website:
"Author Ken Hull stopped by the Pub on April 4th for a book signing, "Going Local: An Adventurer's Guide to Uniqe Eats, Cool Pubs and Cozy Cafes of Central Pennsylvania" is a great read. For more information check out his website."
That along with the photo was posted by Logan, Denny's web guy. This is just one more example of how cool and supportive these folks in Clearfield are. I love this place and you will too.
Wow! Friday March 14th the Lock Haven Express did a front page feature story on my book! Matt Connor wrote a really great piece and the response by the community was amazing and I had two book signings there on Saturday the 15th. D. Dashem Books, a little locally owned bookstore on Main St. hosted the first one and folks really came out. Donna and Karen the owners treated me so well and the event was a huge success for both of us.
Later that evening Donnie Powers of The Old Corner Grill and Pub had me at his place for a signing and that one was great too! His place is normally buzzing with happy patrons and this evening was no exception. I sold a bunch of books and enjoyed a great dinner while talking with folks and having a fun time.
I had a great opportunity to give a copy of my book to Pennsylvania Governor Ed Rendell at a press conference at the capital. I was there along with many other citizens from across PA to support him in his legislation for a health care reform bill called Cover All Pennsylvanians CAP (link below). This is an amazing effort by our Governor to bring health care to everyone in the state no matter what. He is passionate about our health and getting the care we need – especially those who can’t afford it like me. Please support him and all those who need proper health care in Pennsylvania. And, maybe you’ll see him enjoying some good eats or beer at one of the places in my book!
Anne Quinn Corr, a local food guru, celebrated author and just a cool person came to my book release party at Herwig’s. She bought a book and took the time to chat with me over a beer from Otto’s. She left, and I was honored to have had her attend my event and buy a book to boot!
Well this morning my mom calls me and says “Hey son, nice spread in the paper.” I said “What, what spread?” She then went on to tell me of this huge photo spread and nice article that Ann Quinn Corr wrote. I was super excited and bolted to the unimart in my jammies just to check it out.
Sure enough, there was practically a whole page with huge photos that Ann must have taken with some sort of “James Bond” camera hidden in a mini telephone. Oh wait. Uh, I think that’s a cell phone (don’t have one). Anyway, I didn’t know she was taking my picture or planning to submit such a grand piece to the CDT.
I’ve included the link, but it is in no way what the real paper one was. If you can get a copy you’ll see.
Thank you Anne!
(I’ve put her book in my Cool Links)
Monday December 3rd at 5:30 pm me and my book going LOCAL! was featured on a weekly PBS TV show called Pennsylvania Inside Out. This is a show produced and hosted by local Patty Satalia and WPSX here at Penn State.
The interview was literally 15 minutes after I had a real copy of my book. I was sweating bullets waiting for one book to arrive via FedEx so that I would have it for the show. Host Patty Satalia was very cool and asked great questions even though she had only a .pdf file to read from days before.
Starting the week of Nov.19th, going LOCAL! hits the airwaves of WPSU radio in an underwriting ad campaign. Please listen. Please support.
