Event Details
First Appalachian Trail Hall
of Fame Banquet to be Held on June 17
Dear Members and Friends of the Appalachian Trail Museum:
It is a
pleasure to invite you to the first annual Appalachian Trail Hall of
Fame Banquet on Friday evening, June 17, 2011. This will be the opening
event of the Appalachian Trail Museum Annual Festival Weekend. The
banquet will be held at the famous Allenberry Resort Inn and Playhouse,
located just a few steps from the Appalachian Trail in Boiling Springs,
PA.
The banquet will begin at 7 p.m. Cumberland County
Commissioner Rick Rovegno will serve as Master of Ceremonies, and
entertainment will be provided by Pennsylvania Jack, a renowned
storyteller. The keynote of the evening will be the announcement of the
inaugural class of the Appalachian Trail Hall of Fame. Musical entertainment will be provided by The New South Mountain Ramblers.
A reception with a cash bar will
precede the Banquet, beginning at 6 p.m., with musical entertainment by
The New South Mountain Ramblers. During the reception we will hold a
silent auction. Here are just a few of the items available at the silent auction: an Appy Trails tent courtesy of Campmor, a two night stay at the Paymasters Cabin in Pine Grove Furnace State Park; seven packages at nearby Hotels and Bed & Breakfasts, including Allenberry; hand carved hiking sticks and Christmas ornaments; and Earl Shaffer's book "Calling Me Back To The Hills", signed by the late author. We're expecting to add several more items as we get closer to June 17.

Organizer
Appalachian Trail Museum
The Appalachian Trail Museum Society serves the Appalachian Trail community by telling the stories of the founding, construction, preservation, maintenance, protection, and enjoyment of the Trail since its creation. The Museum will collect, preserve, and interpret materials relevant to these subjects in an effort to portray not only the history of the Trail, but also the essence of the physical, intellectual, emotional, and spiritual human experience of the Appalachian environment and the culture of hiking.
Our mission statement is reflected in the Museum that is located in Pennsylvania's Pine Grove Furnace State Park. About two miles from the midpoint of the Appalachian Trail, the Museum is halfway between Maine and Georgia. Appropriately, the Museum is housed in a building that is itself a historical artifact, a structure built more than two hundred years ago as a grist mill. It stands across the road from the Pine Grove General Store, a site famed in hiker lore. It is here that thru-hikers traditionally stop to celebrate reaching the midpoint by eating -- or attempting to eat -- a half gallon of ice cream in one sitting.
