Looking Proud
We are so happy to be in our new building and are pleased to dress it up for the patriotic holidays. We were in full finery for Memorial Day. We'll take a little rest with a few flags and our beautiful flower planters for Flag Day and then dress it up again for Independence Day. Our thanks to Mapes Mulch for their assistance and the gorgeous flowers!

Tropical Storm Lee Flood
In early September, 2011, Tropical Storm Lee dumped inches upon inches of rain on the Susquehanna Valley. In the photo below, you can see Magee Carpet Company (now Autoneum) in the left center, with the Fairgrounds across Fifth Street to the left, all under water. The Susquehanna River is at the far right. That storm holds the record for the high water mark at those locations.
