Sylvia Adama Bill and Pauline Swingle with Ron Blackwell (center). Mr. & Mrs. Swingle donated the original bell from the Beech Flats School to Rekindle the Spirit. Mr. Blackwell and Pete Shinn constructed this belfry to house the bell, which is attached to the Hoagland School at the South Meadow Village at the Manley-Bohlayer Heritage Farm. The Beech Flats School was built around 1921 and still stands on the Swingle farm, where it is used for storage. The school closed in 1955 and the building was purchased by the Swingle family at auction for $278. Mr. Swingle fondly remembers the bell being rung for many hours at the end of the Second World War. The belfry is a replica of the original belfry, and was constructed by Mr. Blackwell and Mr. Shinn through a grant from the Canton Foundation. The PA Apple & Cheese Festival will take place Saturday, October 3 from 10 to 6 and Sunday the 4th from 10 to 5 at the Manley-Bohlayer Farm in East Canton, PA. The festival will feature over 40 vendors with delicious foods. Cheese, wine and apple tastings are scattered among the vendors. Organizers are thrilled with the number and quality of wares the crafters are bringing this year. The craft field will be filled with returning and new juried craft vendors. Check the PA Apple & Cheese Facebook page to see many of the vendors and their wares. Visitors will find historical displays, demonstrations and live entertainment. Children of all ages will enjoy the festival.
This annual event is organized and operated by a dedicated group of volunteers. Rekindle the Spirit, Inc., a 501 (c) 3 non-profit organization, sponsors the festival. All proceeds benefit the local community. Free and low cost programs for the surrounding community are presented during the spring, summer and fall. Historical preservation is a key goal of Rekindle and it’s volunteers as evidenced by the South Meadow Villiage area. The Canton Wine & Cheese Festival Committee will host the first amateur winemaking competition at this year’s festival on June 27th. Non-professional winemakers, age 21 and over, are encouraged to enter their wines to compete for recognition and prizes.
The Sixth Annual Canton Wine & Cheese Festival will take place this Saturday, June 27 from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. at the Manley-Bohlayer Heritage Farm in East Canton. The festival will feature wine tasting by Pennsylvania Wineries as well as food, crafts and entertainment throughout the day.
The Canton Wine & Cheese Festival Committee will raffle off two baskets at the 6th annual event on June 27th at the Manley-Bohlayer Farm.

The Canton Wine & Cheese Festival committee invites the community to help prepare the Manley-Bohlayer Farm for the exciting event that brings so many out of town folks to our area. A work-bee will be held at the farm on Thursday, June 25 & Friday, June 26 beginning at 6:00 PM and everyone is invited. The committee can also use additional assistance immediately after the festival is over on Saturday, June 27th. It takes an army, or in this case, a community to bring these events to our area. Please help us if you can; any and all assistance is so greatly appreciated. Contact 570-364-2600 or 570-673-5700 with any questions or concerns. The Canton Wine & Cheese Festival committee is pleased to announce their featured entertainment for the June 27th event. Talented local and area musicians will be participating in this highly anticipated upcoming third annual event.
