Covered Bridges Festival this weekend

The Bucks County Covered Bridge Society has partnered with the Central Bucks Bicycle Club to present the third annual Bucks County Covered Bridges Festival and the 29th Annual Covered Bridges Ride.
Both events will take place this Saturday, Oct. 17 at Tinicum Park, River Road (Route 32) in Erwinna. The festival celebrates the historic covered bridges of Bucks County. Come for a fun-filled day of family activities, food and scenic beauty. The event features walking tours of two covered bridges, arts and crafts vendors selling hand-made craft items, and beautiful artwork, live entertainment, and lots of food, fun and activities for the entire family.
Proceeds from the Covered Bridges Festival help preserve, repair and restore the historic Bucks County covered bridges. The cost is $2 per person, $1 for children under 12, payable at entry. Bicycle ride registrants enter the festival for free. Make it a full-day family event by attending both events on the same day!
