The Wacky Adventures Of Josh And Chad: St.Vincent DePaul Auction

 This past weekend, Chad and I went down to check out the auction going on at the Lewistown Community Center courtesy of the St. Vincent DePaul Society who are associated with the Sacred Heart Roman Catholic Church.

The St. Vincent DePaul Society was using this auction to help raise funds for those who are in need. Which is really cool to see honestly, we don't really get to hear about stories like this too often.

Chad and I were very excited to go and see what was there and who knows, maybe find something to get ourselves.

And found stuff we did! There were plenty of simple everyday items like glassware and other knick-knacks. But there were also a ton of cool religious pieces of art which I just so happened to get myself. Me and Chad also got another very special item at the event as well, but this time it was more of a family present. You see, we have become Uncles for the second time as our older brother Cody and his lovely wife Christine are having another baby. More specifically, they are giving Chad and I a niece, so I found a little baby teddy bear and decided to buy it for her. Hope and Pray she likes it!

Of course, Chad how to get us some cookies to eat 😆.

Getting to see John and Margaret Maroney was always fun as they were some of the volunteers at the auction. Also had a great conversation with the Joey Heroux the Director of St. Vincent DePaul Society.

I personally would like to thank all of the people of the St.Vincent DePaul Society for inviting us to the event and I pray nothing but the best for them.

I am also happy to report that the St. Vincent Society Auction was able to raise 2000 dollars!

Congrats to the people of the St. Vincent Society!

Until Next Time!

God Bless and Be Safe Everybody! 🙏🙏🙏

2009 Lewistown Panthers Baseball

 Well, with me trying to become more positive about myself, I have been looking back into the past and find ways to let go of some of the negative emotions attached to it. One such issue was going back to my time at Lewistown Area High School which as mentioned before was a huge struggle for me.  But again, trying to be more positive, I wanted to look back at that time and remember some of the good moments during that period. One of which was playing for the Lewistown Panthers baseball team. Heading into my senior year of high school, I wasn't in the best state of mind. Honestly, I really did not want to be there anymore, I was just so sick of life, never thought I was going to be anything. All I ever was going to be was a huge disappointment. I can only give credit to God for being able to get through that year. But then baseball tryouts came along and I decided to go for it again. The previous years I've tried only to fail, which in fairness, wasn't much of a surprise bec...

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

Image
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...

The 2005 Lewistown Panthers Football Team!

Image
 I recently completed reading my story for Hometown Sports Magazine about the 2005 Lewistown Panthers football team who finally ended a thirty years of losing seasons. In this blog, I wanted to talk about why I wanted to write about this team and how I feel the lessons that were learned about them throughout the year can still be used today.  One of the biggest reasons as to why I wanted to write about this team was because of how much of team these guys were both on and off the field. These guys have played the game of football together for a number of years and it clearly showed. Plus being a youngster, I really didn't know the history of Lewistown Panthers football. I only remember going to games because I remember my cousins playing on the team. But talking about the football team in general, to put it nicely, there wasn't a lot of success. In fact when I started this journey of writing this story, I discovered that Lewistown didn't have a winning season for thirty year...
