Runaway Truck at the Philly Folk Fest

Friday, August 20th, 2010




VIDEO (.MP4): KingArthur.com catches the aftermath of a runaway truck in the camp ground at The Philadelphia Folk Festival in Montgomery County, Pennsylvania. A truck parked in heavy camping rolled down the hill through the tents Thursday during the evening concert. A witness saw it running down the camping… it was for real surreal. People were freaking out. No one got hurt.

After the fact, folk festers in the line of destruction thanked God for Igloo coolers. If it were not for the cooler getting stuck under the truck, it is likely the unmanned vehicle would have plowed the whole way down to the Camp Stage. (See video .MP4)

Schwenksville, Montgomery County, PA — The 48th annual Philly Folk Fest comes to the Old Pool Farm this week. The Philadelphia Folksong Society is one of the oldest songwriters and performing arts organizations.

“Since its inception, the Philadelphia Folk Festival has been the primary fund raising event for the Philadelphia Folksong Society. Founded as a 501(c) 3 non-profit, educational organization in 1957, PFS provides programs of presentation, education, and participation.”

There is camping for those that want to stay for the entire event or you can just come for the day. There are also activities for families and children:

“The Philadelphia Folk Festival is a family-oriented event. Children under age 12 are admitted at no charge to all concerts; children under age 5 are admitted at no charge to the campgrounds.

Many family-centered activities are available throughout the day at the Festival.”
