Registration Open for 2023 PA Route 6 Educational Workshop, Annual Meeting & Do 6 Awards Program in Corry
The PA Route 6 Alliance invites individuals and groups from across its 11-county PA Route 6 Heritage Corridor to join them October 5-6 in the Heritage Community of Corry, Pennsylvania, for the 2023 Educational Workshop, Annual Meeting and “Do 6” Awards Program.
The event kicks off with the Educational Workshop on Thursday, October 5th in Corry.
Guided by input from the corridor’s 20 PA Heritage Communities, the Alliance has planned educational workshops covering such topics as active transportation, adaptive reuse, historic preservation, remote working, and more. Special guests and speakers include Melinda Meyer from Preservation Erie, Bill Callahan from Pennsylvania Historical and Museum Association, Abbi Peters from The PA Wilds Centers, Sam Pearson from Pennsylvania Downtown Center, and Erie County business professionals.
Following the workshop will be a walking tour of Downtown Corry, where community leaders will discuss past and current revitalization projects. Later that evening, a farm-to-table dinner at 3 Pillarz Farm will treat guests to local beverages and savory dishes served up by executive chef Betsy Grinder of Your Daily Serving.
On Friday, October 6th, the Annual Meeting and presentation of the “Do 6” awards will be hosted at The Fork and Barrel Restaurant in Corry. PA Route 6 Alliance will recognize projects and accomplishments, provide updates on current initiatives. This year’s keynote address will be delivered by Jeff Siegler of Revitalize or Die, a civic pride consulting firm that takes a new approach to overcoming civic apathy by bringing people together to restore their relationships with the communities in which they live.
The event concludes with the “Do 6” Awards ceremony celebrating individuals, groups, projects and communities that exemplify and advance the Alliance’s mission of protecting, preserving and promoting the scenic, cultural, historic and recreational resources across PA Route 6.
Alliance Executive Director, Candace Hillyard explains, “We welcome residents, business owners, and community leaders to join us in Corry. We look forward to celebrating the incredible work already being done across the PA Route 6 Heritage Corridor and inspiring further growth and development through education and networking.”
