Press Release Contact: Linda Young-Miller Jim Glimm/Local Heritage Project Director (607) 562-3407 lindenmark3@hotmail.com Towanda - Old-time fiddling, clogging, regional stories, songs and tall tales will light up Towanda’s historic Keystone Theatre on Sunday, November 2 at 2 p.m. at the Friends of the Bradford County Library Appalachian Heritage Concert. Featured performers include Mark Orshaw and his daughter, Laura, 15, of Athens, local storyteller Dr. Bonnie Kyofski, of Nelson, and the Cherry Flats Ridge Pluckers, of Tioga County. The Markell Family Cloggers, of Columbia Cross Roads will keep the show hopping with clogging demonstrations and young fiddle players from the region will showcase their talents. Tickets for the show are $5 and are available at the door. Proceeds from the show will benefit the Friends of the Bradford County Library Jim Glimm/Local Heritage Project. Concert organizer and independent producer Linda Young-Miller explained that the concert came about as part of a fund-raising effort to produce a documentary on the late Dr. James York Glimm and the regional stories and songs of north central Pennsylvania that he gathered and performed for over 25 years. Young-Miller will produce the documentary in partnership with the Friends of the Bradford County Library. The hour-long documentary will be geared for PBS and cable stations. A companion, 15-minute educational video will be provided free to elementary schools and public libraries throughout Bradford, Tioga and Sullivan counties. In September, Young-Miller was awarded a grant to defray pre-production costs through the Bradford County Regional Arts Council’s Pennsylvania Partners-in-the-Arts program. “When Mark Orshaw heard about the project, he volunteered to do a benefit concert to help raise funds to complete the project,” said Young-Miller. “In fact, all of the performers are volunteering their time. There’s a tremendous amount of interest in local heritage,” she continued, “and everyone has been very supportive. We’re looking forward to offering an afternoon that’s both fun and educational.” For more information on the Jim Glimm Heritage Project, contact Diane Sadler, Bradford County Library System at 570-297-2436 or e-mail lindenmark3@hotmail.com.
