Blossburg Improvement Association

Blossburg Improvement Association (BIA) was formed in 1971 as a 501(c)3 non-profit organization with the goal of building the Riverside Plaza. After completing this project, BIA has focused on enabling continued access to important local services such as a grocery store, pharmacy, and post office. The funds raised by the organization through rental income go back into maintenance of the portion of store fronts in the plaza still owned by BIA, maintenance of the plaza as a whole, new capital projects for the plaza such as the recent facade overhaul, and contributing funding to other important projects in Blossburg.

Blossburg State Coal Festival

The Coal Festival is a celebration commemorating Blossburg and the surrounding area’s rich mining history and the diversity of our ancestors. In 1792 coal was discovered in the Blossburg area during the building of Williamson Road. Coal quickly became a valuable resource that brought many people to the area to work in the local coal mines. Many of the towns in our area were created because of the mining that took place. Although mining no longer takes place in the area, we honor our history and heritage with the annual Coal Festival. The first Coal Festival was held Memorial Day weekend in 1993, 201 years after coal was discovered in Blossburg. The event continues to be held on Memorial Day weekend each year.

Sleezy Construction and BBQ

Sleezy is a small-town non-profit volunteer group that cooks chickens every other Saturday morning during the season. Community organizations then put together halves or dinners for sale as a fundraiser. Sleezy helps to support organizations such as Football, Wrestling, Baseball, Veterans Organizations, Churches, and student groups. Do you like to get up early on a Saturday morning and cook something? Do you like to discuss random topics while possibly drinking some beer? Do you just need a reason to get out of the house for a few hours? You might be looking for a Sleezy opportunity. To help out, just show up to the BBQ pit on Island Park on the dates listed. Chickens are usually racked and start cooking between 6:30 am to 7 am. Some members roll in at 6 am, other members roll in at 8 am. It’s up to you, but we’re usually wrapped up by 10:30 am.
