Residents of the northern Lehigh County townships of Lynn, Weisenberg, Lowhill, Heidelberg, North Whitehall and Upper Macungie, enjoyed a sunny evening at the 27th annual \u201cA Night in the Country\u201d festival.<\/p>\n
The festival which ran 4-10 p.m. Aug. 15 at the Northwestern Lehigh Recreation Fields, 6499 NW Road, New Tripoli, attracted visitors from throughout Lehigh and Berks counties.<\/p>\n
The proceeds from the festival will be used to maintain the recreation fields.<\/p>\n
Taking part in the program were many community groups and vendors selling food and souvenirs.<\/p>\n
A petting zoo was provided by the Longhorns and Lavender family farm, New Tripoli.<\/p>\n
A Car Cruise, sponsored by DJ Marth, included muscle cars, antiques and classics, which were a large part of the celebration.<\/p>\n
It was easy to hear the arrival the muscle cars due to their boisterous exhaust systems.<\/p>\n
