2nd Annual Holiday DriveMy staff and I took our 2nd Annual Holiday Drive donations to the Johnstown Soup Kitchen. I’d like to thank Makin’ Waves Hair Salon, KSA Group and the many other individuals who donated and made this event such a huge success! Legislation to Fund Emergency Services Now LawThe Senate passed legislation that is now law to preserve the availability of life-saving services for Pennsylvanians. It supports the 911 emergency communications service by reauthorizing a fee assessed to wireless lines. Costs for equipment, operations and new technology continue to rise, threatening the availability of these critical services. The reauthorization helps to offset operation and maintenance costs associated with the state’s emergency response infrastructure. The law has been extended until Jan. 31, 2029. PA Farm Show Runs Jan. 6-13As a state where agriculture is one of the top industries, Pennsylvania is proud to host the largest indoor agricultural exposition under one roof in the nation. The 108th Pennsylvania Farm Show runs from Jan. 6-13 in Harrisburg. The Farm Show features nearly 6,000 animals and more than 10,000 exhibits. There are also thousands of competitions and educational and entertaining events – and of course the famed Food Court, offering Farm Show milkshakes, fried cheese and so much more. Admission is free, and parking is $15 per car. Make the most of your trip with the visitor’s guide. Agriculture in PA employs nearly half a million people and contributes $132.5 billion to the state’s economy annually. Happy New Year!Pennsylvania is a wonderful and unique place to live all throughout the year, including during the holidays. Our state offers some quirky New Year’s Eve drops, from the bologna drop in Lebanon to the strawberry drop in Harrisburg. There are also family-friendly options, including Crayola’s Jazzberry Jammin’ New Year’s Eve in Easton. Find a special way to celebrate. May your 2024 be filled with blessings and happiness.
