Hey everyone - Penn State Extension asked if I'd share this with our community.

They're putting together a statewide survey about water resources in Pennsylvania. Things like drinking water, agriculture, streams, ponds, water testing, and stormwater. They want to know what people actually want to see more education and resources on, and your answers will help shape what they offer going forward.

It takes about 10 minutes. As a thank-you, you'll get 25% off one of their water-related online courses, and you'll be entered to win some Penn State Creamery ice cream (never a bad thing).

If you have a few minutes, here's the link:

What an incredible day! Thank you to everyone who came out to celebrate the Grand Reopening of the Freight House and our USA 250th Anniversary Festival this past Saturday.

To our vendors, thank you for making the day so special. I had the chance to walk around to every table myself, and I honestly wish I'd had more time to shop!

To everyone who attended, thank you for exploring the newly restored Freight House and museum, meeting our local vendors, and spending the afternoon relaxing with family and neighbors. We hope you had a wonderful time.

A special thank you to Electric and Team Fabiani for their monumental efforts restoring the Freight House to its original glory. This day would not have been possible without their work.

Shoutout to 's Steaks, LLC for catering for our staff during the event, we appreciated it!

And of course, a huge thank you to SWOOP, the official mascot of the Philadelphia Eagles, for stopping by for a meet and greet! He was one of the biggest hits of the day, so if you snapped a photo with him, tag us, we'd love to see it.

Thank you again to everyone who helped make Saturday such a success. We're proud of our community and can't wait for the next one!
