Nanticoke Historical Society participates at the LCCC Tree Festival

The Luzerne County Community College is a nucleus of activity for our community it is for that reason among many that we embrace the opportunity to to be involved whenever we can. On December 2nd we attended and participated in the yule tide celebration. The Festival of Trees was held at the college in the Educational Conference Center off of Prospect Street on the college Campus. With us were Alden Manor ,Crazy Rabbit Paint Ball, Relay for Life, First Community National Bank, Educational Conference center, UGI Utilities, Choice One Community Credit Union, South Valley Chamber of Commerce, The International Assn. of Administrative Professionals and Classic Properties .  For a $1.00 donation to the American Red Cross you could vote for your favorite tree.

 Katy Sweeney, member - Nanticoke Historical Society worked hard and contributed effort in our fine tree.  We're not certain if we had won first place, but the container for the ticket votes was quite full. Our friends and neighbors The  South Valley Chamber of Commerce and Crazy Rabbit Paintball were with us to celebrate.  We are looking forward to a Paintball Competition and perhaps a spring festival in a few months.  Efforts for a Fall Harvest Festival fell short due to complications in the planning stage.  Hopefully all  the details have been ironed out.  The event having spanned more than one community complicated planning and time was need in order to be in compliance with regulations and ordinances of both communities. Being good citizens and respecting out neighbors comes first. We're looking forward to supporting them and participating with there efforts when the time is right and everybody is ready.

I'm am preparing a web story on our site and I am inviting you to come and visit us. We're looking for new and interesting ways to make your visit with us more enjoyable.  Your thoughts and contributions are always welcome and we can be reached on Facebook and comments on our blog.  Please feel free to join in. http://www.nanticokehistoryonline.org
