FIREFLY VIEWING AFTER ALL: Due to the lifting of restrictions by Governor Wolf, the PA Firefly Festival has decided to offer some limited programs for firefly viewing this June.

“We feel confident that we can follow the CDC guidelines and safely provide limited viewing opportunities and restricted educational programs. Therefore, we are releasing the revised schedule with links to registrations,” officials said in a press release.

Participants are advised to be aware that attendance is limited to 25 participants or less to minimize health risks and environmental impacts. Physical distancing of at least 6 feet will be respected at all events. Masks will be encouraged but not required.

By registering, participants assume responsibility for any and all risk due to possible exposure to COVID-19. Anyone with a fever or who presents with other obvious symptoms will be asked to withdraw from events. Area residents are asked to not register if they have been exposed to someone with COVID-19 in the last two weeks.

The following programs are being offered. Pre-registration is required through the BrownPaperTickets.com online ticketing.

— Tues., June 10 1 pm to 9 am June 11: Glow & Know Firefly Campout, Ohiopyle/Scarlett Knob Campground; (maximum of 12 participants); $100 per person, meals and campsite included
