There will be a community showing of the film “Split Estate”, as well as a 23 minute interview with Josh Fox, director of “Gasland”, which was aired on PBS in March.

• This licensed film will be shown in the Sanctuary of the Pine Creek Methodist Church, May 19, 2010, from 7 pm until 9 pm. The church is located on the north side of US route 6 between Gaines and Galeton, PA, just east of the Potter/Tioga county line.
