We had a wonderful weekend for the end of the summer things going on. Oh wait, in October there will be things going on too. Keep a watch on the Sully to see what, when and where those things will be taking place. Labor Day weekend was really nice and many got to have picnics, go fishing, or just getting out and enjoying the nicer weather. Do feel for those that were hit with Hurricane Hermine; some folks lost everything and many are still without power. So, we were very lucky it stayed far enough away so we didn’t have problems.
I hope many of you got to go to the Sullivan County Fair in Forksville. Was lots to see and do and the entertainment on the outside stage was great. The Greenwood Boys did another excellent job of entertaining the many folks that sat and listened; some even got into the swing of things by clapping their hands, moving their feet and even singing along. There was lots of great food to please your appetite. The Fair concluded on Labor Day.

TJ and Allison Lowden, along with “Wesson”, Marlton, NJ, spent the long weekend at their home on Church Street. Joining them was Allison’s mother, Michelle Held; her brothers, Josh Held and Jeff Corbett; her sister, Ashley Held, and friend, Brian Klock, all from Marlton, NJ. They all had a great time while they were here. They also spent time with TJ’s parents, Ted and Mary Lowden, Lilac Lane.
TJ Lowden, Josh Held, Jeff Corbett, Brian Klock and Ted Lowden were good neighbors on Saturday when they all helped Mike McDonald cut, split and stack his winter supply of firewood. Heather and the girls also did a good job helping.
Tony and Patti Sneidar, Philly, spent the Labor Day Holiday at their home on Church Street and had neighbors and friends visit while they were here.

Diane Fanning, Landenberg, and her cousin, Charlotte Grant, Bear, DE, are spending Tuesday to Thursday at the Fanning home on Church Street. Weather should be good for them when they’re here.
HINT: “Dawn dishwashing liquid makes great homemade bubbles. Use 1/2 cup Ultra Dawn, 1/2 Gallon warm water and 1 TBSP glycerin (available at any drug store) OR White Karo syrup works also. Stir gently. Skim the foam off the top (too much foam breaks down the bubbles). Dip bubble wand and get ready for some good, clean fun.” (This is so easy.)
From Mr. Neubauer’s little brown book: September 4, 1973 – Warm and 58 degrees. Our September 4th weather was warm and a little higher than 58 degrees. Evenings are cooling down so makes for good sleeping. Weather is to be very warm again this week, into the weekend. I’ll take it for sure.
Well, guess that’s the news for now. Enjoy your week, whatever you may do. Have news, give me a call at 570-928-9238; mail me; see me; or e-mail me at news@lopezpa.com. I’ll get it in for you. Thanks for reading and I’ll be here next time.
Do you remember Concrete and years of swimming there?? It doesn’t look like you remember it now. The big flood that took out the bridge also rearranged concrete dam that use to catch the logs for the saw mill.
