Hope everyone is doing well and enjoying the nice weather. Sullivan County did have a doozy of a storm on Wednesday. I never saw such rain, wind, lightning and heard thunder rumble
like it did. Was wicked. We were lucky. Our power in Lopez was off for only two hours. Other places in Sullivan County and Bradford County were without power for quite a few days. There was talk of a tornado going through the southern end of the County. The weekend turned out pretty nice.
Next Civic meeting will be on Wednesday, the 25th, 6 p.m. at the Pavilion. Important things to be discussed. Hope to see you there. Note date change.
St. Vladimir’s Church has pierogies for sale To order, please call 570-928-8909. They are available at the Church Hall the first and third Sunday of the month from Noon to 1 p.m.
Don’t forget on Tuesdays, trap shoot at 6 p.m. at White Ash. Open to the public. Try your hand at shooting or just go and watch and have one of Nina’s scrumptious hamburgs.
There are still some things going on in the County, so watch the Sully for dates and places. Don’t forget to also support the local businesses. They still need your help to survive this
stupid pandemic. Lets just hope no one goes into lock down again with all the stipulations and masks and social distancing. Had enough of that already. Just hope it goes away and stays away.
Happy birthday wishes to Andrew Froese, 20th; and Mary (Maximiek) Santiago, 21st. Have a nice day.
Gardens seem to be doing well and flower beds and hanging baskets are also. Someone mentioned that the blueberries are going to be ripe on the bushes very soon. Sounds good to me.
I got my order for the Lopez swag and now have no hood sweatshirts in grey, green and black. Also, have the regular t-shirts in green and black and hoodies in green and black.
These all have the full front with the deer with ear muffs. If interested let me know and I can help you out. We still have a few koozies left and everything sells pretty fast, so don’t miss out on your Lopez swag. Info at the bottom of my news.
Irene (Huray) Pequignot came up Saturday for her class of 1969 picnic at Connells Dam. Was a pot luck picnic. We had 19 people in attendance. Played a funny game. Good friends, good food, weather, and good time. Hope to see all next year and more. She also met up with granddaughter Elexus Dunkleberger and her other grandmother, Joan, in Dushore and watched the outhouse races
We only have three past Lopez mugs of the EUB Church left and one mug of Jackson Hotel. If interested, contact Bob at the number below. 2021 mugs due in in September.
I think that’s it. Enjoy your week. Last I heard it’s to be pretty rainy, but that can change. Don’t need a lot of thunderstorms right now. Need nice, summer weather. Have news, give me at call at 570-928-9238; mail me; see me; or e-mail me at news@lopezpa.com. I will get it in for you. Get it to me by 6 p.m. on Sunday evening. Thanks for reading and I’ll be here next time.

Here are some of our visitors.
