  • In this video we check out the Jim Thorpe Fall Festival for 2021. You'd be surprised how Amazingly beautiful it is this time of year. I arrived by train on the R&N Fall Foliage excursion. The trip from Pottsville to Jim Thorpe took just over 2hrs riding aboard the RDC Buddliner cars. Once we arrived we had just under 4hrs to explore the town and see what there is to do at the fall festival. I was pleasantly surprised by the amount of vendors, food choices and entertainment that could be found around town. So come along with my friend Jamie and I as we experience the 2021 Jim Thorpe Fall Festival.

    What an amazing town, and even more special to walk around it with all of the fall festivities going on! Even though I live close to town, I always avoided it at peak times because of the traffic and parking problems. Taking the train in was a real game changer, and we got to enjoy the train too. So much fun to see your take on our outing. I'll be editing mine this weekend and posting it over (probably) three parts next week. Thanks for joining me that day! Hope to do it again sometime.

    I so miss Jim Thorpe and I so miss all the great things they have up there.
    I always love how they did their fall festival and their Christmas decorations, especially during December. All the Christmas lights and Christmas tree looks so beautiful up there. I moved to Jim Thorpe when I was 13 years old and then when I turned 17 years old I moved. Even though Jim Thorpe is a nice little town and he gets so many people to come to that little place up there, I still cannot believe how quiet and peaceful, also relaxing enjoyable it is up there.

    Do you ever have any issues filming people and places in the US?. In Australia there is so much red tape, and so many permits we have to get to film people in a public place and also issues filming buildings and signs. It's at a point that we have to ask peoples permission before we can film them, hence the reason it's hard to film in busy places down here. It's absolutely crazy and gotten so out of hand in Australia.

      A lot of the filming permits and laws came into Australia around 10 years ago and some laws as early as 2004 and it's plain ridiculous. But there is still no outline in many of these laws that reflect those vlogging for you tube in public places down here, which is annoying, especially with you tube being such a big thing now.
      Always thought of how much of a nightmare it would be filming a street with more than 100 people in view, having to ask them all if it's OK to film them, then by the time we get through them...another hundred or so are in view...LOL. we arent fully up on it, but believe we could put a sign out to say filming in progress, but it has to be visible enough for people to see it, but out of the way enough to not be a tripping hazard. And then there is public liability insurance 🙄🤔....phew...it's as much of a nightmare as the halloween displays 😱. So we opt to film in places where there aren't many people down here.

Turns out its their responsibility to hide their identity if they realise they may be in view of being filmed. Still nothing clearly mentioned about monetising vlogging videos and permits required for filming vlogs within public places though LOL....typical for Australia where nothing is ever written to a point of making complete sense, but then I suppose we are on the upside down and bottom end of earth LOL🤣 😂
