2008
marks the 30th anniversary of the Annual Oil Heritage
Festival, proudly sponsored by the Venango Area
Chamber of Commerce. The festival honors the area's
rich heritage that resulted from the discovery of
petroleum and the "oil boom" that occurred
along Oil Creek in the mid-1800s. In that oil fueled
the Industrial Revolution and the modernization
of America's transportation industry, our region
is frequently referred to as "the valley that
changed the world."
The Annual Oil Heritage Festival
depicts our distinctive heritage by incorporating
many heritage
related events into one
of Western Pennsylvania's major festivals
a fun-filled festival draws thousands of visitors
and guests to the region each year.
Volunteers from civic and social
organizations help to sponsor wonderful events
designed to provide fun and entertainment for
people of all ages.
Oil Heritage Festival events
and activities typically include:
From
July 24 - 27, 2008 the 30th Annual Oil Heritage
Festival will take place in Oil City, PA. Within
approximately two-months of the festival, you
will be able to secure a printable tentative schedule
of events from this site.
For more information or to be
placed on the mailing list to receive a complete
schedule of events, contact the Chamber by telephone
at (814) 676-6296 or e-mail: chamber@venangochamber.org.
