2A Festival Set To Draw Thousands To PA Town

Despite Pennsylvania Governor Tom Wolf’s directive that outdoor events in the state limit capacity to 250 people, a pro-Second Amendment festival is expected to bring in as many as 10,000 people to the small town of Greeley this weekend. The Rod of Iron Freedom Festival drew 4,000 attendees last year, and organizers expect that number to double thanks to the impending election and the surge in interest in the right to keep and bear arms.

The festival itself will be held on the grounds of Kahr Arms, which offers plenty of space for people to roam, and festival spokesman Regis Hanna says they’re taking steps to ensure that attendees are safe.

Organizers tout the open-carry event as a family-friendly gathering featuring patriotic displays, food and merchandise vendors and various activities, including educational seminars, self defense demonstrations, live music and a fireworks display. The American Veterans Traveling Tribute wall will also be on display.
