Knowing what best represents folk culture came natural for Amanda Richardson when she took on the task to organize the Heritage Harvest Fescht held Sept. 22 at the Pennsylvania German Cultural Heritage Center, Kutztown University.

Richardson, her husband, Keith, and Patrick Donmoyer worked as a team to bring the best of the Pennsylvania Dutch culture to the festival.

“It’s just knowing what the people in this area would have been doing and then find vendors that can represent that and it’s really much easier since we have connection with the Reading-Berks Guild of Craftsmen and the Old Time Plowboys. A lot of our volunteers come out of that and then join us,” said Richardson.
