Hamilton-Gibson Productions hosts visiting artist Ethan Rice for a day of interactive learning and play with puppets on Saturday, June 8th at the Warehouse Theatre in Wellsboro. 

The workshop is offered to participants of all ages. It will start with a morning session from 10am – 12pm focused on learning all about different kinds of puppets and how they’ve been used through the ages. Participants will also learn about how influences from people, animals, and the materials used to make the puppets can enhance their believability.  

After a lunch break, a session from 1pm – 3pm will be interactive and hands-on, offering the chance to try your own puppet and learn how to handle them to enhance storytelling, character expression, and other techniques that bring the puppets to life. 

Instructor Ethan Rice is a life-long puppeteer who studied theater at Centenary University. In addition to acting, stage managing, and makeup designing he played the character Trekkie Monster in Centenary Stage Company’s production of Avenue Q, a musical with eleven puppet characters who play alongside the three human characters. This production renewed his passion for puppetry and began his journey in crafting his own puppets.

 The Puppetry Workshop for All Ages, Saturday June 8th at 10am and 1pm at The Warehouse Theater at 3 Central Ave in Wellsboro, is $20 for a single session, or $30 for both sessions. Family rates are available. Please call Hamilton-Gibson Productions at 570-724-2079 for info or to register, or go to www.HamiltonGibson.org.

EPA Announces $16 Million in Brownfield Grants Through Investing in America Agenda to Rehabilitate and Revitalize Communities in Pennsylvania

PHILADELPHIA – Today, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) announced more than $16 million in grant awards from President Biden’s Investing in America agenda to expedite the assessment and cleanup of brownfield sites in Pennsylvania while advancing environmental justice. These investments through EPA’s Brownfields Multipurpose, Assessment, and Cleanup (MAC) Grant Programs will help transform once-polluted, vacant, and abandoned properties into community assets, while helping to create good jobs and spur economic revitalization in overburdened communities.

Sayre, PA — The Community Foundation for the Twin Tiers (CFTT) is thrilled to announce a significant milestone in its growth, as the foundation’s assets have now reached an impressive $14 million. This achievement was made possible by a generous bequest from the estate of George Gardiner Probst, facilitated by the Keystone Trails Association (KTA).

In honor of George Gardiner Probst, a substantial portion of this bequest has been invested in the Keystone Trails Endowment fund, ensuring the continued support and maintenance of our region’s cherished trails. George, a resident of Wellsville, NY, just north of the Pennsylvania line, was a dedicated veteran of both the United States Navy and the United States Air Force. His life was marked by a deep love for the outdoors and an unwavering commitment to community service. As a Mason, a member of the Susquehannock Trail Club, and the Finger Lakes Trail Conference, George was a passionate advocate for hiking, backpacking, fishing, hunting, camping, and particularly enjoyed canoeing the Pine Creek in the Grand Canyon of Pennsylvania.
