The authors of the book “Blaisdell Legacy” will share stories about the Blaisdell family’s many contributions to the community during a program at 7 p.m. Tuesday, Oct. 22, sponsored by the Friends of Hanley Library.

The event, which is free and open to the public, will be held in the Mukaiyama University Room in the Frame-Westerberg Commons at the University of Pittsburgh at Bradford.

Presenters Ron Orris, executive director of the Blaisdell Foundation, Jack Gorton, Zippo historian, and Taylor Tarahteeff, writer, will talk about the impact that multiple generations of the family made in the community, the world and popular culture.

Before George Blaisdell invented the iconic Zippo lighter, his father and seven brothers built an industrial empire, which came to exemplify turn-of-the-century American ingenuity.

“Blaisdell Legacy,” traces the history of the Blaisdell name that has long been associated with industry and success and recounts the Blaisdell family’s determination throughout the years.

                A reception will follow the presentation.

WELLSBORO, PA (Citizens & Northern Corporation, NASDAQ: CZNC) – C&N’s Giving Back, Giving Together program is making a difference again this year with its Standing Strong Against Cancer initiative. Since it launched on June 1, 2024, the campaign has already raised over $30,000, within one-third of its $100,000 goal. The money raised will directly support individuals in the local community who are battling cancer, providing financial relief and necessary resources to help them during their fight.

“Our team has done incredible work so far, but we’re not stopping here,” said Caitlin Hilliard, Senior Community Engagement Coordinator. “$30,000 is a great milestone, but we’re focused on hitting that $100,000 target because we know the impact these funds will have for families right here in our neighborhoods.”
