The White Deer Community Park is hosting its 1st Annual Bigfoot & Bluegrass Festival on October 11, 2025, from 10 am to 6 pm. Although early in the planning process, this event is already showing signs of a funfilled, well-attended event. Currently we have three guest speakers specializing in all things “Bigfoot,” and we have a
live band, for two performances. This event will feature several contests for the community to participate in including the Longest & Bushy Bigfoot Beard, Largest Foot (as compared to Bigfoot’s), and a Bigfoot Calling Contest. The Pennsylvania Bigfoot Project will be offering hands-on fun to teach children how to make plaster casings of Bigfoot prints. Along with all the Bigfoot fun, we are also offering a Craft/ Vendor show with up to 75 vendors participating. Thus far, our reach for the craft/ vendor show has drawn and booked a vendor from near and far, with the furtherest coming from midstate Ohio. We are anticipating a large and geographically diversified attending audience, as we are aware that our advertising efforts have reached into upper New York State, Ohio, New Jersey and Maryland. 10/6 Central PA Chapter, National Railway Historical Society. 49th Annual Train Show & Sale will be held Sunday, August 24, 2025, from 9 AM to 2 PM at Warrior Run Fire Department Social Hall, Second Street, Allenwood, PA (convenient to U.S. Route 15) air-conditioned and excellent lighting!

Helpful Tips to Tackle Challenging Paint Projects
(StatePoint) Some DIY projects are easier than others. Painting tricky areas like windows, curves, corners, murals and more might intimidate some painters, but don’t let difficulty deter you from transforming your home into a space you love. DIYers of all skill levels can complete tough paint projects with a few useful tips and the right tools.
VALLEY AUCTIONS
VALLEY HEALTH
Challenge 1: Windows
When facing any difficult painting project, like windows, preparation is critical. First, clean the wood trim with warm, soapy water and a cloth or sponge. For wooden windows that will require paint application near the glass, don’t forget to wipe the windowpanes with a glass cleaner. Buildup on these surfaces can prevent painter’s tape from bonding to the
surface, leaving room around the edges for paint to seep through and creating unnecessary cleanup post-painting.
Once the surface is prepped, line each windowpane and the trim with painter’s tape, overlapping the edges in each corner for the tightest seal.
Challenge 2: Curves and Edges
A good multi-surface painter’s tape can help DIYers achieve professional results for most paint projects, but when it comes to unusual contours, it’s worth investing in a conformable painter’s tape, like FrogTape Advanced. Made with thin but strong washi paper backing, the green tape lies flat while conforming to curved areas, like around light fixtures, mantels, molding and fireplaces.
It’s also treated with exclusive PaintBlock Technology to seal tape edges for clean, sharp paint lines.
Challenge 3: Corners and Trim
When painting a wall or ceiling, it’s not always easy to prevent paint bleed in the corners where adjacent walls or trim meet. Properly applying painter’s tape can simplify the task.
When painting the ceiling, apply tape to the wall around the perimeter of the room, keeping the tape flush with the line where the two areas meet, and overlap the tape in the corners. A similar process can be followed when painting wood trim. When the project is complete, remove the tape slowly at a 45-degree angle while the paint is still wet for best results.
Challenge 4: Murals
Recent consumer research
VALLEY HO E IMPROVEMENT
conducted by FrogTape discovered that one of the most popular painting trends for DIYers is nature-inspired faux wallpaper. While more than half of people prefer painting a mural over applying wallpaper, 36% still say “not feeling confident in painting skills” is holding them back from trying this project.
complicated it might seem.
VALLEY AUCTIONS VALLEY HEALTH
Experienced painters may be confident enough to freehand a design, but those who are newer to the task can rely on painter’s tape or stencils to bring their vision to life. Stencils can be used as a guide to create floral or leaf patterns, or DIYers can sketch the shapes and tape them off with painter’s tape to keep outlines crisply defined.
Painting is one of the most rewarding DIY projects, but don’t make it harder than it has to be. These tips can help simplify your next paint project, no matter how

Testimonials: (Looking for some new comments of success)
Fall 1991 and January 1992
Testimonials: My cousin and his new wife (both in their early 40’s) were visiting my mom, my sister, and I. My sister asks, “So, how did you meet?” They kind of giggled and asked each other, “Should we tell them?” They said they met through the LBYL column. My sister and I decided we would try our fare at meeting “Mr. Right”. (BTW, my cousin and his wife are still married and hopelessly in love.) My sister didn’t have much luck, but in January 1992, I saw this ad that kept drawing my attention. As described, he really wasn’t what I was looking for, but... We met later that month for the first time; got engaged in 1993 and married in 1994. We will celebrate our 25th anniversary this October and we have a 23-year-old daughter who lives out of state. Thank you, LBYL! Mr. & Mrs. J.N.

Testimonial: I placed an ad 1/2/94 and met the love of my life. He has 3 boys and I have 3 girls. We were married 8/26/95 and now we’re the Brady Bunch. Thanks for helping us find each other.

“Smart home solutions have been around a while, but continue to improve based on growing demands,” says Mason Hall, head of connected products, Moen and Fortune Brands Innovations.
“Implementing smart products –specifically watersaving fixtures—is one of the simplest ways to make your home more sustainable without sacrificing your overall experience.”
When it comes to water conservation, Moen’s Flo Smart Water Monitor and Shutoff is leading the charge. This device continuously monitors your entire home’s water usage, detecting leaks as small as one drop per minute—from a leaky toilet to a major pipe burst. Using machine learning, it identifies changes in pressure and flow, alerting homeowners before damage escalates. In fact, 60% of users discovered a leak they weren’t aware of within 30 days.
In total, the Smart Water Monitor and Shutoff has alerted users to over 2 million potential water
leaks, according to Flow Technologies data. Plus, it helps track water usage by individual faucet, empowering waste reduction and money savings.
Protect Your Wallet (And the Planet)
Rising environmental issues often lead to rising insurance costs. In disasterprone areas, some insurance companies are reducing coverage or even withdrawing from the market due to the high costs and frequency of claims for home repairs or rebuilds.
Water damage, in particular, is a major culprit.
The Insurance Information Institute (III) reports that water is claimed six times more than fire and eight times more than theft. Based on III and Census Bureau data, Moen
estimates that nationally, insurers pay out over $15 billion in water claim damages annually. To mitigate these costs, many insurance companies now offer premium discounts to homeowners who install smart products like the Flo Smart Water Monitor and Shutoff, which can reduce the likelihood of water damage claims.
Making
Every Drop Count
Companies also have a responsibility to help drive positive change.
The Environmental Protection Agency estimates that 1 trillion gallons of water are wasted due to leaks each year. In 2020, Moen launched Mission Moen, a commitment to conserve 1 trillion gallons of water through
the use of watersaving products by 2030. Since then, the company has conserved 317 billion gallons of water.
Moen’s new Hot Water Savings Handheld Shower by some estimates reduces shower water usage by over a third—saving up to 5,500 gallons annually. When Conserve Mode is activated, this feature reduces water flow to a trickle once it reaches 95 degrees F, then maintains the temperature, preventing unnecessary water waste while still providing an exceptional shower experience. The product also features
Moen’s Magnetix technology, with a magnetic dock made from recycled ocean plastic, further embracing sustainability.
At moen.com, consumers can find solutions that help contribute to a healthier planet.
By embracing smart technology, practicing conservation
and supporting companies that make a positive impact, everyone can play a role in creating a waterabundant future.
