OUTDOORS & RECREATION
Reports are that cross country skiing on the trail is great, especially between Coder and Baxter and below Liberty Street in New Bethlehem. Getting over plowed snow at street intersections is still an issue. Have fun and make sure someone knows where and when you are out.
For walkers, please don't walk in the set ski tracks. Thanks!

When will the snow piles all be gone from the old freight yard by the bears? Join in the 50/50 pool by purchasing a ticket for $5 and placing a guess as to when the snow will all be gone. Proceeds will benefit the Southern Clarion Police Association to help buy equipment for the Southern Clarion County Regional Police Department. Contest closes on March 9th. Tickets are available at FUN and CCCB banks, Evermoore's, the police station, trail office or from SCPA members.

The link below is an interview with Dale Rogers, the talented metal sculptor who produced most of the sculptures on the Redbank Valley Trails. His story is inspirational for students who may struggle with learning disabilities and for aspiring artists.

We had quite a bit of snow in New Bethlehem. It will take awhile to melt.

New Bethlehem made the national news! It will be awhile before the local crews can get the streets clear. Be safe. Say a prayer for our plow drivers and first responders.

A snow emergency has been declared due to anticipated extreme cold, snow and ice. Please stay safe, home if possible and say a prayer for our first responders and plow drivers. If you live in New Bethlehem or other Boroughs please try to park off street so crews can clear the streets. Heaviest snow may be on Sunday afternoon. Be safe!

The following lovely post honors a generous and hard working Dan Bowser from the Summerville, Pennsylvania Story Project · Colleen Hummel Cooney. Dan made some wonderful contributions to the history of Summerville and the trail.
Rest In Peace, Dan! We had the time of our lives! Thank You Dan Bowser, Martha Smith, Joyce Aaron, and Bertha Reitz for taking us on a wonderful journey!
The Summerville Story Project brought a group of Summervillians together to put together a history book, (Troy/Summerville Pennsylvania), which was a great success.
Dan had lot more projects that got behind along with our group that resulted in history sign panels scattered around town, renovating the school bell enclosure, a pavilion and a LEF&C Caboose at the old Summerville Railroad Station site along the Redbank Valley Trails Association Trail.
