The 46th annual Oil Heritage Festival in Oil City drew thousands for nearly perfect weather over it's four days.

Venango Atea Chamber of Commerce director Susan Williams said that other than the storm that sent tornado siren echoes across the Valley, the only things affected were the Oil Heritage Queen crowning and Echo Valley which  were more to inside the Episcopal church for everyone's safety.

"​It was good to be blessed with such perfect weather," she said about the overall four days.

On Saturday, The Clarks performed to a packed Justus Park. "We had a huge crowd for the Clarks. I have to believe that's the biggest crowd since I've been at the chamber," Williams said. "The parade was about the same size as usual but we got rave reviews for it. I think the theme made it really easy for people to have great floats and entries. Let the games begin, with a focus on board games, was easy for them to plan around. The feedback has been great."

"The food vendor seemed happy and they are usually a pretty good judge of how the crowds were. Sunday was great for the car show as well," Williams said
