The Hamilton-Gibson Treble Choir returns from their Spring Tour to offer a concert highlighting spirituals on Sunday, May 19 at 2:30pm at the First Presbyterian Church in Wellsboro.

This past weekend the HG Treble Choir, grades 5-8, toured through Maryland’s Eastern Shore performing at various sites and learning about our neighbors to the south, and their environment, culture and history. In preparation for the trip, the kids were introduced to Harriet Tubman and her underground railroad by watching a documentary about her life. They also learned music from this time in our history and about the importance of spirituals in the lives of American slaves. The group drove along the Harriet Tubman Underground Railroad Scenic Byway, and visited the Harriet Tubman Museum and Education Center.

Pennsylvania’s 2024-25 migratory game bird seasons have been set.  

Annual migratory game bird seasons are selected by states from frameworks established by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS). Game Commission selections were made after reviewing last year’s hunter harvests, population survey data and public input.

There is one significant change to Pennsylvania waterfowl seasons this year, said Game Commission Waterfowl Biologist Amanda Hoyt. The regular season length for Canada geese in the Atlantic Population Zone has decreased from 45 to 30 days but the daily bag limit remains three.

“With the population recently falling just below the threshold for a “liberal” season, the harvest strategy mandates a shorter hunting season for this population,” said Hoyt.
