HOT SUMMER Used Book Sale The Friends of W. B. Memorial Konkle Library in Montoursville are hosting their HOT SUMMER Used Book Sales on Saturday, July 24th and August 21st. Did you know there are more books sold in the summer than during any other season? We all like to relax and get away in
It may be my age. It may be my pride. It may be my lifelong experiences. In reality, it is no doubt a combination of all three that culminated in a more emotional than usual Fourth of July weekend. I watched baseball and fireworks, consumed hot dogs and apple pie, and, as corny as it
With the 2021 MLB Draft having taken place this past weekend, the Crosscutters will see an influx of new players to the roster. They are slated to include; Steven Nitch (C)- County College of Morris Ramon Bramasco (INF)- University of Washington Jerome Bohannon (LHP)-Southern University Brian Rodriguez (RHP)-Northeastern University David Stiehl (RHP)- Northeastern University Dylan
On Saturday, July 17th, 2021, at 6:00 p.m., Picture Rocks native David Richards will be giving a presentation at the Lycoming County Fair on what life in Hughesville was like 150 years ago. The presentation will be at the Red Dog Mobile Storage Stage. I first met David Richards during a class field trip to
Exactly five years ago today, the Spencers were on a west coast pilgrimage. My lovely sister and ‘rents now live in West Hollywood, California. We found ourselves in the nosebleed seats of Dodgers Stadium. I guess you can say it was the usual MLB afternoon matinee. Slow, hot, somewhat crowded with stale peanuts and overpriced
To feed or not to feed? Lately, it appears that the practice of feeding birds in your backyard may be a problem — at least in recent weeks. Bird feeders and birdbaths have been popular items in backyards for many years, but there may be some problems emerging over the practice. As a photographer and
I have been meaning to catch up with Williamsport’s Mayor Derek Slaughter for a while now. I have known him a long time, and of course, I wanted to talk about the City of Williamsport, but even more important was just to catch up with a friend, break a little bread and see how he’s
We are lucky to have a lot of places locally to get fresh, homegrown fruits and veggies. We are also fortunate because there are many places you can go and spend a fun day out picking your own. But once you have all those berries picked, what do you do with them? Blueberry season is
Anniversaries traditionally are celebrations of the past, but the 75th Anniversary event of the Clinton Township Volunteer Fire Company on June 25th was that and more — it was a vision for the future. The fire company was formed immediately after World War II, as thousands of veterans returned to the United States with a
Rider Park is rightly regarded as one of Lycoming County’s, as well as one of Pennsylvania’s, great scenic and recreational treasures. Its 867 acres of private land available to the public 365 days a year for hiking, trail running, mountain bike riding, cross-country skiing, and other low impact recreational activities. The park offers 10 miles
Mounts Fundraising Drive To Renovate and Remodel For 75 years, the W.B. Konkle Library has been serving the people of Montoursville and the surrounding area well. Their mission is to “enrich the community by providing a friendly environment to learn, discover and enjoy.” In a bid to continue this mission into the future and to
My style has definitely taken a hit since becoming a mom — as it does for most women when they have a family. I’m not suggesting that moms are dowdy or unkempt, but they usually aren’t as fashionable as non-moms, which is to be expected since style gets knocked down a few rungs on the
The Spencers just got back from a quick family vacation. We spent the past few days along Pine Creek in isolation. Teach has several good friends in her industry. One of them invited us up to her cabin. We did the exact same last year during COVID. We had such an amazing time. It was
Most folks never see it, but as Williamsport Crosscutters players begin arriving at Bowman Field around 2:00 pm on game days, a pair of athletic training professionals is already at work dedicated to helping them perform at their best. Like many other things that are a first for this inaugural MLB Draft League season, the
Pollination, the transfer of pollen from one flower to another, results in the production of vegetables, fruits, and the seeds we need to grow more plants. Bees, flies, butterflies, birds, and beetles are the pollinators, carrying pollen on their bodies and then distributing it as they move from one flower to the next. We need
DAY FOUR: “No country for old men!” After breakfast, the six hunters in camp sat around the dining table relating stories about their past hunting adventures, while the guides readied equipment and the horses for the evening hunt. Our mid afternoon outing was to be another horseback ride up the switchback trails to the high
So, you don’t like the taste of wild game and fish? That’s a question I found myself asking several times over the past few weeks. The answer often came back that it was “gamey” or “fishy” tasting, and I fully understand, that’s not a taste I would care for either. After partaking in some poorly
With the recent announcements, by Gov. Wolf of the rollback on COVID-19 restrictions, ballpark capacity has returned to 100% with no mask required. Other safety measures in place for the 2021 season include: – Sanitizing stations throughout the ballpark – Restroom attendants on duty providing extra sanitization of high touch surfaces – Clear Bag Policy
Williamsport, PA… Trips to and from the downtown will be free on the designated Fireworks Bus route on Sunday, July 4th, 2021. Park and Ride lots are located near each of the stops to make it convenient for traveling to the downtown area during the hours of 6pm and 10:30pm. “Public Transportation will be free
There has been way too much negativity across our Nation in the last year, we need to leave it in the past and move forward full speed ahead. The United States of America is truly the greatest shining light of freedom and opportunity the world has ever seen. Our One Nation Under God must remember its
Y’all! It’s getting hot! And with a holiday weekend upon us, we are all *hopefully* going to be out enjoying the beautiful warm weather! Don’t forget the sunscreen and to stay hydrated! No drinking and driving and keep an eye out for friends and loved ones — including your furbabies! Cats and dogs are as
Last year’s July 4th celebrations seemed subdued and out of place as the “Set the Night to Music” fireworks took place at the Lycoming County Fairgrounds in Hughesville; well, this year, they are back bigger and better in downtown Williamsport in the vicinity of the Hampton Inn and Wegmans on Sunday, July 4. It wasn’t
Getting ready for a Fourth of July celebration, whether it’s at home with your loved ones or celebrating with a few friends, doesn’t mean you have to reach for an American flag t-shirt or print. Instead, you can express your patriotism and sense of style with a variety of summer-loving looks. Here are a few
Without any proven data to rely on, I would guess that there aren’t many Americans thrilled with ‘the new normal’ that is being introduced to our daily lives. It could be safely assumed that most would much prefer the pre-COVID norm that we have been living without for the past 16 months. However, glimpses of
Anyone involved in hunting, especially big game, knows how important it is to use the right caliber of gun to take the prey you are after. You don’t use a 22-caliber rifle for hunting deer or bears, and you don’t need a 300 Winchester Mag. to bag a gray squirrel. This week’s piece, however, is
At one time or another, all of us at some point, have probably signed a petition. It might have been to get someone on an election ballot or showing our support for a cause or protest against one issue or another. But none of us have ever bore the heavyweight of a pen in the
The Muncy Historical Society is one of the most active historical societies in the area and pride themselves on the various programs they present to the public. This spirit continues when they present their annual Textile Show and Exhibition on Friday, July 9, and Saturday, July 10 at the Celebration Centre and Living Water Café
Part 3 DAY THREE: “Relief comes in different ways.” After the near-death experience the night before, sleep was hard to come by, and gathering for breakfast with the other hunters and guides could not come soon enough. Everyone’s curiosity was satisfied as I related my story of the hunt and near-tragedy with my guide, Travis,
