Gaabriel and I have attended the NAFOW event for the last two years in Portland and Cleveland. We will be going again this year. Scranton is worth visiting for its Welsh background and history alone BUT when you factor in all of the traditional attractions of the NAFOW event it is certainly worth making every effort to be there. Highlights of this years event include........well I wont say more here but take a look at this page for more info ........ http://www.storyforgestudios.com/americymru/directory/index.php/136-North-American-Festival-of-Wales-Scranton-2012

I should note that my great grandfather Dan Powell immigrated from Blaina, New South Wales, with his father John Powell, wife, and siblings. Dan was a prominent businessman & first Burgess of Dunmore, Lackawanna County. A good source of local Scranton Welsh history I found using the Webcrawler search engine-"Dan Powell" & found "Prominent Welshmen of Scranton"

Scranton quiz- I got 6 of 10 (60%) correct. Not bad inasmuch as I left that area 53 years ago.

Fixed the scoring mechanism...needed to set it as a percentage. Pass mark is 60%

Lived in the Scranton area until age 18 then moved to Pittsburgh. Still have many relatives there. Graduated high school (Dunmore) 1958. Most all of my Welsh history moved from Wales to Lackawanna County because of the numerous coal mines in that area.
