Peanut Butter Factory

Tonight our local Smucker's Peanut Butter Factory has caught on fire. Apparently the fire is really bad with flames coming through the roof. Fire companies have been called to battle the flames from all over. We may lose the only real attraction left in our town tonight.

Fishing

My dad and I love to fish. I remember always going to the New Bethlehem Dam on Fish for Fun Day when I was little. On these days parents could fish with their kids even if they didn't have a fishing license. It always would draw a huge crowd. Since the new dam was put in, people are no longe allowed to fish, wade, or basically even look at the new dam. I feel it is very sad that the tradition of Fish for Fun Day has ended because of the new dam.
