PA Firefly Festival: Enter The Glamping With The Fireflies Raffle

Do you want to experience one of nature's most dazzling wonders, but you don't know the first thing about fireflies, lightning bugs, or camping in the forest?  

Here's a chance to observe the amazing firefly mating displays while in the comfort of a Safari-style tent with a private guide and private access to the firefly habitats on the Kellettville Firefly Farm in Forest County, Pennsylvania.  

This prize includes a Safari-style tent, 4 camping cots, camp chairs, table, and firewood.  The tent is already set up for you, all you will need to bring is your bedroll and a picnic.  Water, port-a-john and garbage disposal are supplied. 

A guide will lead you to a private area to watch and provide expert interpretation of the fireflies you observe.  Then, you can sit at your private campfire and observe the flashing to your heart's content.  

On a warm late June night, you can expect to see fireflies from dusk until the wee hours of the morning (if you can stay awake).  

The winner will have the choice of dates to consider in late June or early July.  Rain dates will be offered. A cash prize of $300 is optional in lieu of the camping experience. 

Proceeds will benefit PA Firefly Festival Education Programs.
