Annual Meeting Photo

Smile everyone! Here are the participants at the 2010 PA Forest Fire Museum Association annual meeting in Gettysburg this past Saturday, Nov. 6. The Eisenhower Hotel and Conference Center was a great place to hold a meeting. We left the meeting inspired to make the coming year a great success for PFFMA.

Partnering Organizations at the Annual Meeting

One of the most interesting parts of the annual meeting was the series of brief reports from partnering organizations. We have a lot to learn from sharing with our colleagues.

• The Appalachian Trail Museum
• The Mont Alto Historical Society
• South Mountain Partnership

Van Wagner Performs

Singer and educator Van Wagner peformed at the PFFMA Annual Meeting in Gettysburg. Choosing a combination of songs about logging, rafting, and the rural life Wagner used videos as backdrops to his music. It was a great performance. Click here to see Van Wagner's web page and educational programs.
