Big little event out in the middle of ..... well.... somewhere

Utica doesn't get much attention from the press, Ken Bryan said Friday night as he walked out of his barn at French Creek Farms to watch a fireworks display with a couple hundred other folks. The owner of the campground and tree farm invited whoever wanted to venture out into the woods instead of the concrete jungle up on the hill in Cranberry.

This little secret of a fireworks display is put on yearly by the business for the community, the folks who stay at their campground and other friends and family. They also had the band Reissue play in the barn with a gator sized four wheeler stockpile of beer and food.

Around 10 p.m. they opened up the skies with light, controlled booms and streaming cloys falling back towards earth. "It's not too long," said Venango County commissioner Mike Dulaney who stood eyes upward with everyone else. "It's just right."

Bryan said that he likes to put on this show for his small town because the small towns don't always get the proper attention they deserve. Or the residents have to travel for such things like fireworks and fun.

​But not on his watch on July fourth weekend.

​Below are a few more photos from the "not too long, but just right" display out in the woods.

The pictures do not give the event justus. The whole event was amazing! The fireworks made you quake, the band rocked your socks off and the beautiful farm made you wish that the fun would never end.
