A special thanks to Wendy Neckers from Downtown Corry Business Association and Chuck Gray from Impact Corry for producing the video above that showcases PA Route 6 Alliance and what folks attending the Educational Workshop and Annual Meeting can expect at this year's event.
Each year, one of the goals of our Educational Workshop and Annual Meeting & "Do 6" Awards is to bring residents and community leaders together to network, learn, and discover new ways to keep our communities thriving. This year's event is taking place October 5-6 in Corry. Our theme is "Act, Adapt, and Attract" and we have an excellent variety of guest speakers who will be presenting on active transportation, adaptive reuse, historical preservation, remote working, entrepreneurship, and what we can do to make our communities more appealing to both visitors and residents alike.
This year's event will also feature a farm-to-table dinner at 3 Pillarz Farm following Thursday's workshop and walking tour of Corry. Seating is limited and filling up fast for the farm-to-table, so register now to reserve your spot!
There will also be opportunities to explore many of Corry's local hiking and biking trails, sample some moonshine, and many other great activities! See the list below!
