Bradford County Conservation District received $2000 in grant money to conduct two different farm tours where farmer projects (BMP’s) will be highlighted, and a research trial on nitrogen needs of corn in various management schemes. The tours will focus on improvements local farms have installed that will benefit both them and the environment. The nitrogen trial will focus on applying less nitrogen on fields that can supply their own (cover crops, no-till, soil health).

The Ice cream social is at 6:30 followed by the pageant.
There are three candidates for Dairy Princess: The PSU Master Gardeners of Bradford County invite the public to their 19th annual perennial sale on Saturday, May 30th, in a new location: Academy Park, Main Street, Athens. Academy Park is located opposite the Spalding Building, location of the Spalding Memorial Library and Tioga Point Museum.
These perennials from the Master Gardeners’ own gardens have the advantage of being acclimated to the area because they came from the garden “around the corner.” The gardeners who grew the perennials will be on hand to describe the plant size, shape, color and which plants work well together. ![]() Submitted by Animal Care Sanctuary I have always been keenly aware of the calls that Animal Care Sanctuary receives each day on the dogs or cats that have been lost or found. We take a description of the animal and internally circulate to everyone as well as post on Facebook and Bradford County Lost and Found. But the last three weeks the volume on Facebook, the calls we receive, and the people that drive up hoping their animal was brought here, has magnified. How terrifying it must be to put your dog in the backyard one last time before retiring for the evening, and then discover they are missing. Frustrated people find dogs and cats that they know are pets and they have no collar with ID. They all call us and our hearts break when we have to tell them their lost animal is not here, or that we do not have room for them to bring the animal in that they found. Co-hosted by the Borough of Towanda and partnered with the Downtown Towanda Merchants Association, Bradford County veterans Memorial Park Association (BCVMPA) is happy to announce opening day for the Veterans Memorial Park. The event is on schedule for 03 July 2015. The parade starts at 7:00 PM on Main Street; the Park event starts at 8:30. Please plan to attend; we look forward to meeting you.
