Beaver County Christmas Extravaganza

We invite you to join us as we celebrate our 29th year of providing one of the area’s most exciting Christmas Holiday events at Brady’s Run Lodge. Formerly known as the Festival of Trees, it is now the Beaver County Christmas Extravaganza. And it is about so much more than trees!
Visit the unique and expanded train display, the Candy Cane Lane gift shop and, of course, a visit to the North Pole Cafe for a quick snack of traditional favorites.
Santa Land gives everyone an opportunity to have their photos taken with Santa. And for the youngsters there is the Kids Craft area where they can make something special to take home.
Christmas Crafts can be purchased at the Christmas store, and you don’t want to miss buying some of the most delicious homemade Holiday candy this side of the North Pole.
Snoopy, Rudolph, Frosty, the Grinch and more well known favorites will be wandering through the event.
Many fabulous outdoor displays will make your walk or drive outside super special.

The proceeds from the festival support the Beaver County Children and Youth Services Advisory Board in helping provide scholarships, coats, shoes, summer camps and additional support for children under the care of the Children and Youth Services Agency of Beaver County. The proceeds also support the volunteer effort of the U.S. SARR Corps in the finding of missing children and adults who suddenly go missing and to return them home safely.

County Budget, Census, & Ice Arena Subjects Of Wednesday Work Session

(Matt Drzik/Beaver County Radio)

The County Commissioners went through a varied slew of topics and announcements during their weekly work session on Wednesday. It started with an appearance from local representatives for the U.S. Census Bureau, asking that the Commissioners along with the public start to help out with the upcoming 2020 census; asking that thorough accounts of all citizens be an imperative part of the County’s agenda.

Then it was the Commissioners’ turns to present their reports and findings; among the most notable was Sandie Egley’s finding in regards to renovation (or even replacement) of the Beaver County Ice Arena:

 

The Ice Arena has, in the past year, come under considerable scrutiny about upkeep, renovation, and lack of overall acceptability.

However, when the floor was open for audience comments, the subject turned sharply to discussion about the budget. There was some confusion over the ideals that were brought forth involving Susquehanna Consulting firm; confusion that Chairman Dan Camp wanted to clarify:

 

The Commissioners will reconvene for tomorrow’s Public Session at 10 AM.
