History is important because it is tough to know where you are going if you don’t know where you have been. Our country has a rich heritage that we should celebrate for the next couple of years, starting now. There are many countries in the world that are much older than the United States, but
The one-day Youth Hunt for spring gobblers will be held this Saturday, April 26th. It is a day that many young hunters, as well as their adult mentors, have been looking forward to for months. It is held one week prior to the opening of the regular statewide spring gobbler season in order to give

Here’s a rundown of some trends I’ve seen following various wedding channels and hearing how friends are considering their own nuptials. First up,
Each year millions of dogs and cats are euthanized in shelters because of overpopulation. Just a few years ago, during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, shelters were emptied out as pet adoptions reached all-time highs. Now that offices have reopened and people have returned to work and other activities, pets increasingly are being surrendered
With the arrival of spring, activities like baseball, tennis, golf and gardening become part of our daily lives, in addition to responsibilities like lawn mowing and other home maintenance projects. While it’s tempting to rush out into the warm weather and get started, make sure you’re following proper safety precautions to protect yourself during these
Social media has become such a key component of most people’s lives that it is easy to think that it as always been there.

Pennsylvania hasn’t always had a spring turkey hunting season, simply because it didn’t always have enough turkeys to sustain one. Things are sure different than decades ago.

The trout season is now in full swing. The opening day crowds have died down. The weather is starting to warm. No more snow flurries, folks. This is one of my favorite times of year to fish. Once Warrior golf wraps up, I will get out as much as I can. Capturing a few photos

Happy Easter; may you and your family enjoy a special day of togetherness. As the warmth of Spring renews life and raises the human spirit, so does the celebration of Easter. God’s greatest gift of his only Son and the message He brought to the human realm that ended with Jesus’ death on the cross
In any decent dog film, it’s practically a given that the featured canine will die at the end. But how about a pooch-picture where death comes first? And where it’s actually the owner who passes?
