Description :	Northern Tier Cultural Alliance PA North Country Artisan Center & Store One Washington Street Towanda PA 18848 http://www.ntculturalalliance.org/pncacs.html August Store Hours: Monday: 10am to 2pm Tuesday - Friday: 10am to 5pm Saturday: 10am to 2pm Closed Sunday PA North Country Artisan Center & Store features items produced by people who live and work in Pennsylvania's Northern Tier Counties. Hardscrabble farmers and lumbermen settled these mountains, carving out enduring communities. Settlers from variedplaces forged a new cultural identity. They wove customs from the "Old Country" into a new agricultural lifestyle adjusted for short, cool summers and long, harsh winters. The land provided the raw materials of a good life for miners, farmers, lumbermen, fishermen, and hunters. Hard work shaped logs into boards, but also yielded intricate carvings. Thrift and vision transformed salvaged scraps into utilitarian quilts of extraordinary beauty. The rhythm of the seasons still sets the pace of life in the Northern Tier. No matter what the calendar says, maple sugaring can't start until snapping cold nights and warm days prompt sap to run. Long winter nights around a wood stove invite popcorn, corn soup, singing, storytelling, whittling, quilting, weaving. The richness of the landscape and cultural heritage fosters folk art and products pleasing to all the senses. Proceeds from sales at the PA North Country Artisan Center & Store support the Northern Tier Cultural Alliance's mission of educating the public about cultural traditions, history and art of the Pennsylvania Northern Tier and to assist tradition bearers and traditional artists in the preservation of their work.
