OUTDOORS & RECREATION
Sculptor Dale Rogers' The Big Dog Show is coming to New Bethlehem along the trail during the Peanut Butter Festival, the first in PA!
It is an art and charity event. 12 8'x10' steel American dogs will be placed in the open area in front of New Bethlehem Town Center and will be decorated by our Redbank Valley Days of Giving charities, including RVTA, and 2 by sponsors. Visitors can vote on their favorites and win a prize. Charities will have information tables and donation jars in the New Bethlehem Town Center hallways where you can learn more about each of the charities. There will also be prizes, raffles, t-shirts, art contests, photo opportunities, an indoor art show and more. T-shirt sponsors are welcomed. Message or call 724-664-4754 for more information.
The Show is brought here by The Gallery at New Bethlehem Town Center, Redbank Renaissance and the Redbank Valley Trails Association and possibly other sponsors. We're currently looking for match fund sponsors to add a percentage to amounts donated to charities.
The Show has appeared in 22 states since 2009 raising over $500,000 for local charities. Come see the show, take photos and support your local charities while enjoying the Peanut Butter Festival. Thanks for your support!

What’s the bird an statue ?
So sorry to hear this.
It’s so sad that this happens!! I had a memorial stone stolen.
We had a bees' nest reported under the picnic table on the New Bethlehem side of the Climax Tunnel yesterday. Our brave volunteer removed it yesterday evening. We are so blessed. Thank you, Mike.

GOOD JOB MIKE.
We had a huge tree down on the Depot Street Spur last evening. It was removed this morning by Brookville Borough public works. The trail is now clear. Thanks to trail user Tim for reporting and Brookville Borough for clearing the trail.

Attention trail users in the East Brady and Rimersburg areas: Do not drink the public water until further notice in East Brady or Rimersburg which are on the same system. DEP has issued an alert about a chemical that was mistakenly added to the water supply. DEP recommends boiling the water for a minute before using until further notice. This DOES NOT affect water in the New Bethlehem or Brookville systems so please stock up before you go to East Brady or Rimersburg.

The water issue has been resolved in East Brady and Rimersburg and the water is now reported to be safe to drink.
A heat advisory has been posted for the next few days. If you're out enjoying the lack of rain, remember to bring plenty of water or beverages with electrolytes to stay hydrated.

So far we're in good shape. We think all of the washouts have been fixed and there are no closures as of this evening.
What shape are the trails? Any wash outs or closures?
After all the rain, today is a beautiful cool day to enjoy the trail before the heat is turned on. When you're out on the trail in the coming days, remember to bring plenty of water.

Near Trail ALERT. The Leader-Vindicator reported yesterday that the bridge across Red Bank Creek at St. Charles, where the old refractory used to be, has been closed indefinitely for structural deficiencies. You can still drive to the trail from Climax Road on the Armstrong County side of the Creek, but you won't be able to drive to the trail from St. Charles Road on the Armstrong County side off of Madison Road, SR 1004. Just proceed a little further up Madison Road to Climax Road to get to the trail. The trail remains fully open. You can access from St. Charles Road on the Clarion side.
The Mt. Pleasant Road bridge in Jefferson County in near mile 36.52 still remains closed for bridge replacement until at least August. The trail remains open, you'll just need to access the trail at Moore Road or Summerville. Happy trails!
