Community Christmas Buildshop

Area children will have the chance to create various gifts for those on their Christmas list at a Community Christmas Buildshop.

The event will be held from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday at Clarion University — Venango, West First Street, Oil City.

The free event is for children ages 3 to 12 years old and is open to everyone in the community.

“We wanted to bring back the days of past where it wasn’t all about Black Friday sales and the latest greatest toys, but a time where kids built their gifts with love and joy to give to their friends and families,” said Jerry Burns, who is a member of the leadership team organiz-ing the event.

“Our local churches place a great deal of value in celebrating the joy and love of Christmas and wanted to come together to share this joy and love with the com-munity and, hence, the Community Christmas Buildshop was born,” he said.

This is the second year for the event which had more than 100 attendees last year along with many volunteers, accord-ing to Burns.

The buildshop will feature a jewelry station with necklace, bracelet and anklet projects, wooden toys including cars, trucks and more, a create-your-own Christmas card station, a homemade wind chime project and many others.

When asked what the favorite projects were from last year Burns said, “as far as favorites it’s a very tough call with all the amazing ideas that these churches bring to the buildshop.”

Burns promised that there will be even more projects than last year.

“I’m sure there is something there for every child to build,” he said.

Pizza and desserts will also be pro-vided.

“The free pizza and free desserts are also a big hit and are available for children as well as adults who attend,” Burns said.

There will be an opportunity for chil-dren to listen to Christmas stories being read to them.

“I am so amazed to see how much time and energy many of the volunteers and churches put forth in order to make this a family-fun free event and if you think the kids have smiles you should see some of these adults,” he added.

“Children will be building gifts with joy and love to give those they hold dear, and who could put a price on that?,” Burns said.

reach program of Good Hope and Zion Lutheran churches and is partially fund-ed through grants.

The adult staff include Beth Orris, Julie Kosker, Linda Vogt and the Rev. Mike Parsh.

The concert is free and open to the public. A cookie reception will follow the concert.

Coal Oil Johnny’s 174th birthday will be celebrated with refreshments and a little side of history at 7 p.m. Tuesday at Venango Museum on Seneca Street in Oil City.

Oil historian Neil McElwee of Oil City will deliver the presentation on John Washington Steele also known as Coal Oil Johnny. It is titled “Coal Oil Johnny’s Times.”

Attendees at this and other related programs during the next 12 months will also receive complimentary keepsakes depicting some of the stories often repeated about this prodigal prince of petroleum. Several descendants of his adopted family will be in attendance for this festive occasion.

John Steele was born in 1843 in Mercer County, the son of James David Steele and Maria Foulk. Steele and his sister Permelia were adopted by Culbertson McClintock and his wife Sarah McKnight McClintock who built their saltbox-style farmhouse on the west bank of Oil Creek. Their basic farm became a strong-producing oil farm after oil wells were drilled there following Drake’s initial successful well approxi-mately 11 miles upstream.

An admission fee of $5 for adults will be collected at the door. Students accom-panied by an adult may to attend without charge.

While advance reservations are not required, prospective guess may replay to Marilyn Black at the Oil Region Alliance office, by calling 677-3152, Ext. 105, or emailing mblack@oilregion.org. Such notifications will ensure that sufficient seating and tasty treats are available on site, Black said.

The program kicks off a year-long series of public programs and activities focused on this flamboyant and famous true character from the early oil boom along Oil Creek.

The series is being coordinated by the nonprofit Oil Region Alliance, which owns and operates the Coal Oil Johnny House which is located today in Rynd Farm at the south tip of Oil Creek State Park, just east of Route 8 north of Rouseville.

Proceeds are being earmarked for the ongoing maintenance and operation of this circa 1850 farmhouse.

Coal Oil Johnny’s birthday celebration is Tuesday

A stewardship fund established to help finance the ongoing preservation and operation of the Coal Oil Johnny House will be introduced Tuesday dur-ing a public an event celebrating its namesake’s 174th birthday.

The two-story peg-n-post farmhouse is situated today at Rynd Farm at the south tip of Oil Creek State Park, on a parcel leased by the nonprofit Oil Region Alliance of Business, Industry and Tourism which acquired the build-ing in 1999. It was constructed on the west bank of Oil Creek in approxi-mately 1850 by Culbertson and Sarah McClintock, who adopted John Washington Steele and his sister Permelia. The McClintock farm became one of the highly productive oil farms during the hustling and bustling years after Drake’s initial successful 1859 well upstream along Oil Creek.

The McClintock-Steele-Waitz House carries the names of the three most famous families who owned it and resided therein. Steele is better known by the nickname given him by Philadelphia journalists to reflect his over-the-top spending of the family’s petroleum proceeds during two years of outlandish living away from his wife and young son who continued to live in the house and were assisted by her fam-ily (the Moffitts) from Dempseytown. Larry and Carole Waitz of Rouseville are the third generation of the Waitz family to have owned this property.

The Coal Oil Johnny House Stewardship Fund will support the operation and maintenance of this sim-ple wooden building, which is a house museum open by appointment. The fund will be directly administered by the Oil Region Alliance.

The Young At Heart!

By Richard Sayer

The Windy River Band will perform at 7:30 p.m. today at the National Transit Building in Oil City. The performance is part of the Oil City Arts Council’s Winter Concert Series.

The cost at the door is $10 for non-members and $8 for members.

Dave Winger is on lead vocals and plays guitar. He comes from a strong background of blues, jazz and country while touring the southern states. His interpretations of the country classics and pop music are said to soothe one’s spirit.

Shoup is lead guitar and vocals. He is described as a truly a premium “must hear” guitarist and vocalist. Shoup belts out the

tunes of yesterday with a voice that conjures up the memories of Elvis and Orbison.

Mclaughlin plays bass. He is Windy River’s newest edition comes from a well-rounded background of experience with some well-known area groups such as Reckless, Score, Fat Chance, just to name a few. Mclaughlin offers more than 40 years of experience and gives Windy River that solid foundation that other bands only wish for.

“Lil” Dave Winger plays the drums. He brings over 30 years of experience to the table, “Lil” Dave Winger keeps the rhythms constant. His unobtrusive style maintains a level of reverence that seems to entice the audience to their feet and keeps the dance floor full and offers that just right seasoning to truly complement that Windy River assortment of songs.
