Come Rain or Shine, The New Brighton Was a Huge Success

The sporadic rain was not enough to put a damper on the citizens and vendors of New Brighton. The people came out today to eat, drink, and be merry with food and beer staples such as Petrucci Brothers Brewing, Curbside Cocina, Big Rock Deli, Papa Dukes Gyros, and much more!

Beaver County Radio’s own Frank Sparks and Matt Drzik held down the fort at our remote broadcast. The New Brighton citizens enjoyed live music while they shopped at booths offering mural paintings, hand-crafted jewelry, toys and much, much more! Democratic Green Party representative Darcelle Slappy even made an appearance to meet with the public.

New Brighton rung in the Autumn Equinox right this year, certainly something you are not going to want to miss next year!

It was a cloudy, cool fall day…perfect for a fall festival.

UPDATE: Police Searching For Second Suspect In New Castle Triple Homicide

Investigators are searching for a second suspect in a triple murder in New Castle, according to the Lawrence County district attorney. Police have already arrested 19-year-old Stephen Procopio, of New Wilmington, and they plan to charge him with three counts of criminal homicide. A mother, her daughter and a man were all found dead inside a home on West North Street around 4:30 a.m. Tuesday. Investigators have learned that the 10-year-old girl was shot coming down the steps. Lawrence County District Attorney Josh Lamancusa said Procopio has been providing crucial information. When officers arrived at the home, they found Nichole Pumphrey, 31; her daughter, Amariah Emery, 10; and Lawrence Cannon, 30, dead on the first floor. Police say Pumphrey and her daughter lived at the home and Cannon lived elsewhere. A woman is also being held in police custody, although her connection to this case is unclear at this time.
