Local residents take part in community events and travel
Geo Heller and Charles Hoffman flew Brae Breeze Airport to Pittsburgh, returning in 45 minutes. Mrs Walter Winesburg and two children shopped at Punxsutawney. Porches begun, gas well finished with slight flow. Socials, school trips, and visits fill the week as locals attend fairs, rallies, and religious events. A minor car accident injures no one.
