PoCo Conservation Camp teaches students
The Potter County Conservation Camp sponsored by the Black Forest Conservation Association in Coudersport has been providing environmental, conservation and outdoor sporting education instruction to students 13-15 years of age from Potter, Mckean, Cameron, Elk, Clarion and Clearfield Counties for over 40 years. This year’s camp was held from Aug. 4-10. Here, students receive fly fishing instruction provided by volunteers from the God’s Country Chapter of Trout Unlimited.
Karl Gecci, owner of a portable stage in downtown Emporium, has allowed it to remain at its present location, but the Cameron County Chamber of Commerce wants it to be used. The stage, donated by the borough of Emporium, can be pulled to different locations in the county. “It is hoped that organizers in Driftwood or Sinnemahoning will utilize the stage and host an event or two,” says Tina Solak, executive director of the chamber. The stage will remain available through the end of September when it will host entertainment for the All Fired Up Kickin Ash BBQ Contest. Anyone wishing to utilize the stage for free is asked to contact the chamber office at 814-486-4314 or cameronchamber@gmail.com.
Friends of Rachel Pagano along with representatives of the Men and Women of the Galeton Moose and a representative of the Galeton VFW presented Rachel and Jeremy Pagano with a check for $12,409. On July 20, a benefit was held for Rachel Pagano. The Benefit was scheduled to beheld at the Galeton Moose; however, due to a power outage at the last minute the benefit was moved to the Galeton VFW. Organizers of the event would like to thank everyone that donated their time, donated to the chicken dinner or silent auction, purchased a ticket to the cash giveaway or came out to support Rachel and Jeremy in any way. Donations came in from as far away asSpain. This was a great benefit and there are too many people to thank individually. Rachel and Jeremy will use the donation to help Rachel in her fight against cancer.
