Huntingdon distillery to host Fourth of July celebration

HUNTINGDON, Pa. (WTAJ) — ReKlaimed Vines and Defiant Distillery , a joint business, is inviting you to their annual freedom celebration.

The company will host the celebration on July 3 at its Huntingdon location (9002 William Penn Highway), because it always coincides with Huntingdon's fireworks show.

"We're a patriotic family. My husband was in the military, so it's a big deal for us. And so we like to make it a fun celebration. It's the only thing that we do that's truly family-friendly. I mean, we always say you're welcome to bring your kids, but it is a drinking establishment. But we try to make this fun for the whole family," Kristy Knouse, Owner of ReKlaimed Vines and Defiant Distillery said.

This year is the company's 6th celebration and it is expected to have some extra special activities.

Throughout the day there will be music, drink specials and a photo booth.

From 12-9 p.m., the Hog Hustler Food Truck will be on-site at the winery. Starting at 5 p.m. until 8 p.m. there will be a caricature artist available for guests, who will accept tips. Axe throwing will be available starting at 7 p.m. until the fireworks are over.

"It's just an excellent experience with the fireworks, the caricature artist, a photo booth like where else are you going to find all of that together in one," Knouse said.

The winery/distillery said they will have alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks, so they ask any guests to leave coolers at home, as well as food.

Admission to the event is free and it is open to all ages. You are also welcome to bring a lawn chair.

According to ReKlaimed Vines and Defiant Distillery, there will be a great view of Huntingdon's fireworks from the parking lot at the end of the night.
