Central Pennsylvania has many fun events throughout the summer – each one different in it’s own way.
The Fort Loudoun Market Fair in Franklin County scheduled for this weekend may be one of the most unique.
On Thursday’s Smart Talk, we’re joined by Andrew Newman, who coordinates the Market Fair, to talk about the event and the rich history of Fort Loudoun.
