In my travels the last three years to watch Jimmy play baseball in Olean, New York, I’ve made it to about every town that makes up the 12-team New York Collegiate Baseball League. From Hornell to Niagara, all the way across the state to Rochester and Syracuse, New York is truly a beautiful state. A
August is National Family Fun Month! So this week I’m bringing you lots of fun, family friendly things to do this month. Hopefully, by the time you are reading this, the floodwaters have receded and the Hiawatha is back in the river. Tuesdays in August are family nights on the Hiawatha. Join them for a
How do you unite the Democrats and Republicans in Washington? An easy answer for those of you watching this past week — just have President Donald Trump meet with Russian leader Vladimir Putin. The meeting took place in Helsinki, Finland, and the bipartisanship denouncing of President Trump’s comments could be heard from sea to shining
July 25 is Culinarian’s Day, an unofficial holiday that honors all cooks and chefs who bring good taste and great food into people’s lives. Culinarians are experts (and non-experts) in the art and science of cooking and serving food. They can be chefs, cooks, home cooks, bakers, and anyone else who is involved in the
Congratulations to Jim and Bonnie Winder, and to all that have made West End Babe Ruth baseball a fixture in our community for 75 seasons! I can’t even imagine the hours the husband and wife duo have put into the league for teenage ballplayers over the decades. West End Baseball has been very instrumental in

The middle of July can mean one thing in our area, the Lycoming County Fair. The event began in 1870 as a way for farmers to show and compare their produce and livestock. The salt of the earth event is still going strong. There’s something to be found there for everyone from the demolition derby,
I can’t believe that it is mid-July! Where has the summer gone? Before you know it, it will be time for back to school sales and the Little League World Series. This is actually one of my favorite times of year. There is something about the long nights and hot days that makes me happy.
Happy Fourth of July fellow Americans! No one celebrates their freedom and the founding of our great Nation as we do. I hope everyone takes the time to reflect on our freedom and explain what Independence Day is all about to our children. That being said, I thought it’d be fun to take a look
The Fourth of July has long been one of my favorite holidays. Not only do we get to celebrate the independence of our country, but we get to do it with fireworks and picnic food — which happen to be some of my favorite things! Plus, unlike other holidays, there’s no pressure with the 4th.
There’s nothing better than summer in the Susquehanna Valley. With only a couple days of June left to play out it can only mean one thing. The celebration of America known as the 4th of July is right around the corner. Family reunions, picnics, barbecues serving the best summer cuisine will be found everywhere. Of
