Approximately 50 tickets are left for the Grammy-award winning Texas swing band "Asleep at the Wheel"'s upcoming concert in Towanda, according to the Bradford County Regional Arts Council. The concert will take place at 7:30 p.m. on Friday, Sept. 4 at the Keystone Theatre in Towanda.

Magisterial District Judge Jonathan Wilcox said the cooler temperatures make nice sleeping weather. He also noted that some roof work was being done at his office.

 

People were busy peeling peaches at the Peach Festival in Troy last week.

Nashville recording artist Kurtis Parks, who wrote "Forever Changed," a song that was played nationally and which pays tribute to the families of the victims of the 2007 Virginia Tech massacre, will be performing in Towanda next month. Parks had been a student at Virginia Tech. He has relatives in the area, including an aunt in the Mercur Hill area, said Karen Parkhurst, co-owner of the Weigh Station Cafe in Towanda, where Parks will be performing on Friday, Oct. 23, probably from 6 to 9 p.m.

I keep hearing people say how pretty the windmills are up on top of Armenia Mountain. They wouldnt think they were quite so pretty if they had to listen to the constent noise they make. We were told they were quiet, but they sound like a airplane, stuck in mid-flight. We have about 8 of them right across the road from our front door. For the first time, I cant look forward to a peaceful,quiet, lazy summer day. They dont exist any longer here!!!

Boldness must arise locally to save roads

It's nearly spring and the secondary roads here are in poor shape. Some of the main roads, as well. It's an annual occurrence. But, this year there is a dramatic difference. More roads are in far worse shape than perhaps ever before, in large part becau
