Switching gears yesterday found me at the 3rd Grade Tunkhannock Science Fair.

Six different groups of around 20-25 kids throughout the day, got to pepperer me with questions about rocks, gems, and fossils. :)

They got to hold a meteorite, dinosaur egg, check out rocks that float, rocks that light up, pass around some coprolite (dinosaur dung), feel some volcanic ash from Mount Saint Helens, along with numerous different types of fossils and gems.

Each group also had an opportunity to break open some rock I brought back from one of my trips to the Green River area in Wyoming known for fish fossils.

Want to give a shout out, and thank you to the teachers, first for inviting me, and secondly for the important work you do with our kids and grandkids.

After only four hours, this old guy was exhausted, mentally and physically, LOL. So great job teachers, it’s not easy what you all do on a daily basis. Thinking of suggesting at our Mayor’s conference this evening that it be mandatory for all elected officials to spend at least one full day in school experiencing the daily life of a teacher. What say you!

Carpe Diem, Lou!!

Looks like a rainy weekend ahead so might be the right time to check out the fourth section of the Barn.

Open this weekend regular hours, and Monday, after hosting Memorial Day Services here in Factoryville.

Come and check out, some of the new stuff. Started cutting and polishing our own stones, including Willemite, Septarian, Brazilian Agate, Coprolite, Moss Agate, and more.

Meet the new mascot, “Wally” and also have Memorial Day flags here for sale.

Set the first event for the summer, July 19, a drum circle with Pat from Montrose, looking to raise awareness for domestic violence, and will announce more events as the weeks go on.

That’s all I got for you this week, so If we don’t get to see you, enjoy your weekend.

Thanks, Lou!!

Yesterday had the privilege of talking a little rock and gem stuff to the Daisies of the Abingtons Girl Scout Troop 50737.

Not only did we crack open some geodes, and fish fossils, they got to hold a meteorite, dinosaur egg, and see rocks that light up and float, along with various fossils, and gems.

We also went over what was needed to attain the Girl Scout Rocks and Mineral Patch.

How Gemstones and Minerals are created, Synthetic vs. Natural Gemstones, What are Geodes, Gemstones found in Pennsylvania, and where to look for them.

Sharing and making a better community together. Lou!!

What started our at my swearing in ceremony as Mayor of Factoryville, before the Lackawanna Trail 5th and 6th grade, on a suggestion from our Junior Mayor, Colin Gow, to start an apple orchard, that suggestion came to life this weekend.

Yesterday, our community apple tree project was put to bed at least for this year, with the initial planting of 6 apple trees.

The goal over the years is for the graduating 6th grade to plant an additional 3 or 4 trees each year, with the hope they can return with their own children later in life, and show their kids where they planted their roots in Factoryville, and hopefully pick a few apples 🙂

Want to thank, Kara, Bubba and Brian Gow, and Kimberly Gallagher for their help in the planting process. A huge shout out to Kelly Stewart of Keystone College, who took time off to make sure the trees were properly planted, Colin Gow for representing the 5th grade, and Haileigh Gallagher for representing the 6th grade. Finally a thank you to our Factoryville Fire Auxiliary for not only protecting our community on a daily basis, but for also making sure the trees got properly watered.

Trees are planted at Creekside Park, and all trees were donated by community residents.

Working together for a better Factoryville!!

Getting ready for our spring and summer events, so bring a lunch and chill by the creek, do a little fishing, catch a ballgame, or walk the trail while you are in the area.

Making headway, on the 4th section, and finding stuff I forgot I had, along with gearing up some of our initiatives, including contacting elected officials, on our belief that we should be funding our National Parks, and not cutting budgets.

Outside of that just another crazy week at the barn, onwards and upwards, :)

Enjoy your weekend, Lou!!

Will be around through the weekend, so please text if you want me to open up the next few days, with regular hours Saturday and Sunday. 570-677-2607.

Whether you are coming from New England, Philadelphia, State College, Upstate New York, or down the block, spend a few hours in Factoryville enjoying our walking trails, restaurants, catch a ballgame, enjoy our parks, including dog park, along with special events that seem to occur on a weekly basis.

This Saturday, catch an afternoon of food, fun, friends, and syrup at the Sugar Shack. Bring the kids, and grandkids, and watch the whole process from sap to syrup. It’s free, educational, and family friendly.

And of course, stop in and say hello, especially if you are into rocks, gems, crystals, and fossils :).

Looks like a great Saturday to be outdoors, and a chance to check out our town.

Thanks for listening, Lou!!
