The bicentennial logo designed by Helmut Kunst for the Clifford Township Bicentennial Celebration is beautiful, detailed and thoughtful. Many have admired it as a work of art. It comes as no surprise that two groups have decided to have the logo adorn their quilts: the Clifford Baptist Church and the Clifford Township Supervisors. The queen-size, tea dyed cotton quilt top is totally hand stitched by members and friends of the church. The logo is in the center; each corner of the quilt has a different block design stitched in it: Pennsylvania, Pennsylvania Pavement, Harrisburg and Pennsylvania Wheel. The quilt sponsored by the supervisors is double-size; its design comes from intricately pieced fabrics, all hand and machine appliquéd by Adrian Crossman. The three-foot star design on the back of the quilt and the border are hand quilted. Raffle tickets will be sold on July 1 and 2. Both quilts will be raffled off Sunday, July 2 at the firemen’s picnic grounds on Rt. 106. Proceeds will help with the bicentennial celebration expenses. These unique quilts can be fabulously displayed on a bed or hung as wall art and will surely be a cherished inheritance.
The Rail–Trail Council of NE PA will hold its regular monthly meeting on Thursday, June 22 at the Gravity Inn in Waymart. Dinner will be available from the menu at 6 p.m., with the meeting following at 7 p.m. All are welcome. Interested persons may meet at 5:30 for a short visit to the proposed trail connections around the federal and state prisons. Trail construction work will be updated. Discussed will be the ongoing ATV patrol and resulting citations. Plans are underway for a mid-August ribbon-cutting celebration. Call the office for details or questions, 785–7245.
