His most popular is the "Apples, Peaches, Pumpkin Pie Polka," and his "Hats Off to Pennsylvania Polka" is being considered for the state song.

"Every year, the Blueberry Festival continues to grow and improve," says Susan Stone, Administrator/Librarian of the Susquehanna County Historical Society and Free Library Association. "It's really wonderful how our community pulls together to make the Festival possible. Local businesses and individuals contribute time, supplies, advertising, and everything else that's needed, to help support the Library and Historical Society.
