What a great time yesterday at Construction Career Day and Industry Showcase at the Pennsylvania College of Technology! Students from our region and beyond had the chance to explore some great opportunities for great-paying jobs right here in PA.
Steady rain will fall today across all of central PA. Most places will see at least half an inch to an inch of rain, with some areas seeing higher amounts around 1.5 inches. It will be a chilly day with highs mainly in the 40s.
Thank you to all of the senior citizens, family members, caregivers and exhibitors who came out to yesterday’s Senior Citizens Expo in Roulette!
This dog was found yesterday (10/13) on Route 155 between Port Allegany and Sizerville State Park. Some good samaritans from Pittsburgh spent their day of vacation trying to find the dog’s home instead of their planned hike on this glorious Autumn day.. They didn’t succeed in finding the owners and the dog is now at the McKean County SPCA. Please share this photo and information with your readers so hopefully this wonderful dog can be reunited with his owners.
