The Wacky Adventures Of Joshua and Chad: McVeytown Halloween Parade

 What a way to end the night than with a little Halloween Parade! Chad and I decided to go and check out the festivities down in McVeytown and had ourselves a great time!

For starters, you can tell that fall is coming because it was quite chilly down there and the wind certainly did not help, but nonetheless, it is a sure sign that fall is here and will be here for some time.

Walking around town I got to see a lot of familiar faces and it is crazy to think that these same people that I grew up with, are now having kids of their own and having fun chasing after Halloween candy. It makes me smile because it reminded me when I was little and I couldn't wait to get after that candy so it is really cool that still happens nowadays.

Speaking of cool moments, Me and Chad bumped into our friends the Sunderland family as they were outside their house with their grandkids waiting for the parade to start. One of their grandchildren, Claire turned 15 today, so Happy Birthday to you Claire. It really is amazing how time flies. In fact, the McVeytown Cheerleaders from the youth league here in town stopped by during the parade and sang Happy Birthday to her.

The McVeytown Eagles youth football teams also made an appearance at the event and were joined by the local Mason Lodge here in town, there were people on horses, Hocus Pocus was here as well lol. Firetrucks, Local EMS and the Mifflin County High School Marching Band made an appearance and did a fantastic job providing the music during the Parade.

And there were plenty of great costumes as well, people were dressed up like the video games Mario and Luigi, the Sanderson sisters from Hocus Pocus, Batman, Power Rangers. 

But lets not forget about the candy, lots and lots of candy! I am sure people will be eating them tonight!

It was really cool to see everyone having a good time tonight. It just felt like one of those moments no matter how short or small, it was like nothing bad could ever happen and all the craziness of the world goes away.

I hope and pray that everybody there had a great time and try not to eat too candy lol.

Until Next Time!

God Bless and Be Safe Everyone! 🙏🙏🙏

Lewistown Area High School Class of 2009

 I can't believe it has been 15 years since me and Chad have graduated from Lewistown Area High School back in 2009. High school was a very interesting time for not just myself, but for many of us who had attended, mainly because usually times at high school is the time of getting to know ones self and discover who they are and what there place is in this world. Being a teenage to becoming a young adult can be very challenging to a lot of people during this time in life. Especially with dealing with all sorts of different emotions that we didn't understand before. Sadly, there are also a lot of young people who struggled to figure things out during their time in high school and I was certainly one of those people.  I mention this because recently I found and looked back through my yearbook when I graduated from Lewistown and it was pretty cool to see some old faces especially now that I am older and learned so much about myself. The only problem about this is I wish I knew what

The Wacky Adventures Of Joshua and Chad: McVeytown Eagles Championship Parade!

Well tonight was a pretty special night down here in McVeytown as Chad and I along with many other people who live here in McVeytown all came together to celebrate a special accomplishment. And that was how all three of the McVeytown Eagles teams made it to the CKYFL championship games. Winning in both the Peewee and Midget divisions and placing second in the Mighty Mights. Stuff like this doesn't happen often in such a small town where I live so to see these kids have the time of their lives during the parade was certainly a sight to see. One of the things I love about covering sports is when I see kids learn, work hard and turn it into success. And these kids were learning a lot throughout the season and watching them grow and not only become better football players, but better people as well.  Which is why I have really enjoyed covering the CKYFL these last few years for Hometown Sports. People like Travis McCullough who is the President of the league along with Adam Weaver, Rob

What's going on? Being honest with ourselves!

 I don't like to cause any problems with anybody but there have been a lot of things that I been wanting to get off my chest for a very long time now. And that is in my humble opinion people don't seem to want to be honest about really anything anymore. Now, I could be just a little paranoid, maybe my anxiety is getting the best of me or whatever. But as time has past I have been getting a weird feeling all over me. You see, I just feel as though people no one is really being honest with each other, themselves or to God anymore. I wish I could describe it better but it has been a concern of mine for quite a long time now and I feel like it is getting worse. People would always say things to me like, Josh it is just a different time. But honestly, I think that is just a lame excuse. And the reason I say that is because a lot of those same people who say that kind of stuff to me are the exact same people who then say that they don't understand how things around us are getting
