We had a wonderful time sharing in the fun at Clover Field and Allen Park for the THIRD ANNUAL West Scranton Fall Festival, sponsored by Posture Interactive. Activities across the day included food and entertainment, bounce houses, art activities, children’s activities, a fire pit, s'mores, live music and more!

The latest event in our Neighborhood Leaders Forum series was a great success!

Taking place at Nay Aug Park and jointly planned with our friends at United Neighborhood Centers of Northeastern Pennsylvania, the Neighborhood Leaders Forum brings together resident leaders from throughout the City of Scranton, providing access to guest speakers from various governmental entities, nonprofit agencies, and other community partners.

This edition of the event featured presentations from Elise Stavish of The Clinics at Scranton Primary Health Care Center, discussing the effectiveness and use of Narcan as a lifesaving agent, as well as the expansion of the Clinic’s operations on Wyoming Avenue. Also presenting was Dan Frantz, Fire Prevention Officer for the Scranton Fire Department, who discussed the agency’s free smoke detector program, how the fire inspection process works for businesses, and much more.

Special thanks to the crew of Scranton Fire Department Engine 10 for giving attendees an up-close look at a firefighting apparatus and equipment, and answering various questions on the life and career of a firefighter.
