How about that pouring rain we had Thursday into Friday!!   The rain came down so heavy, the wind blew and it was miserable.  The creek really raised and I heard we had four and a half inches here in Lopez.   Lasted into Friday morning.  Finally got nice.  Saturday was a nice day for our Lopez  Flea market held in town by the pond.  Was sunny and hot.  Sunday was another nice day for things going on around the County or even if you had something going on at your house.

Thank You Mildred Ambulance for sending a couple of your personnel for stand-by at our Lopez Old Home Day on August 5th.

Our next Civic meeting will be held on Wednesday, the 20th of September, 6 p.m. at the Pavilion.

Nina Weslowski spent the weekend with her family in Allentown.

The bear sure have been around all over town.  They make themselves known any time of the day, evening or night.  Tim Brown has been getting some really good pictures on his trail cam.  The one is huge and Tim said waddles as it walks and it looks like it does.   Just have to be aware if you’re out or the kids are out to watch for them.

First day of school is Thursday, the 24th.    I know some kids would rather be off yet and some are really anxious to go back to see their friends from last year.  Keep alert, people, buses will be on the road and kids too waiting for the bus.  Doesn’t hurt to slow down a little.

Sullivan County Fair is coming up the end of August into Labor Day.  Check it out.  May be something to spark your interest.  Always a good time for everyone that goes.  I hear lots of good food is available too, along with many good programs and lots to see in all of the buildings.

Happy Birthday to Gaige Burke, 29th.  Have a super duper day.  Gerald Maloney’s family would like to wish him the best birthday ever and many more.  He celebrates on the 30th.  Have a good one.

Happy Anniversary to Jason and Heather Burke as they celebrate on the 26th.  Have a great day.

Guess that’s it for this week.  Enjoy your week.  I’m told it’s to be pretty nice with hardly any rain.  We shall see what we shall see and hope that’s right.  Have news give me a call at 570-928-9238; mail me; see me; or e-mail me at news@lopezpa.com.  I will get it in for you.  Thanks for reading and I’ll be here next time.
