What Is The Best Tool For Your Garden? A Rain Barrel!

Camels Hump Rain Barrels will be offering rain barrels for the discounted price of $75 each at the White Clay Creek Fest on May 2nd!

Our barrels are created from recycled olive barrels and include:

- a fully screened lid to prevent insects and debris from entering your barrel

- two overflow ports to allow you to better control excess water

- a spigot to allow easy filling of a watering can as well as a bottom drain threaded for a garden hose to enable you to get the most out of your barrel.

- Each barrel is 220 liters or nearly 55 gallons and will be full after a quarter inch of rain when hooked up to a downspout

For more information please visit http://www.camels-hump.com/

Interested in purchasing a barrel during the festival? Please email us at camelhumprainbarrels@hotmail.com and let us know! This will not obligate you to purchase a barrel and will also not guarantee availability but will allow us to plan how much inventory we bring to help assure anyone who is interested can get one.

Creek Fest celebrates the many ways to enjoy and protect the White Clay Creek, a National Wild and Scenic River.

Visitors are encouraged to come early for a 10:15 a.m. pre-Fest hike lead by the Pennsylvania Friends of White Clay Creek Preserve.  Hikers will trek down to the main stem of the White Clay and have the opportunity to look for and learn about stream life with a Stroud Water Research Center Educator, so wear old sneakers or bring a pair of boots along. There will be a shuttle available to take hikers back up to Creek Fest, or you can hike back up with a guide.

Visitors of all ages will enjoy live music by Almost Fab and be amazed at the power and precision of the Free-Flight Bird Encounter by Animal Behavior and Conservation Connections. Falafels from Newark’s Home Grown Café, pizza from Wood Fired Pizza, finger foods from Midnight Munchies Food Truck, and ice cream by UDairy Creamery are sure to satisfy. Local artists, including jewelry makers and writers, will be present selling their goods, and rain barrels will be available for purchase from Camels Hump Rain Barrels. Creek Fest has fun and educational activities for children of all ages, including an opportunity to start your very own Watershed Passport! Fly tying, gardening tips, environmental discussions and much more are part of this exciting day!
