The Wacky Adventures Of Josh And Chad: Country Memories Day!

 Yesterday, my twin brother Chad and I headed down to McVeytown to do chill out at one of our favorite events. The Country Memories Day event, this has been something we have been doing since we were little kids. Personally I would love to show my little nephew Lukey around it someday.

Of course, the weather wasn't exactly the best, but still, we had ourselves a good time. As we arrived into town we got to see plenty of vendors out there and we got to see plenty of our friends.

Though we didn't get some see all of them, we did manage to check out some some awesome cars. Honestly this has been one of our favorite stuff to go see since we were little, me and Chad have always admired the craftmanship of these vehicles.

We also got to meet a vendor called Peaceful Mind, Veteran Adventure, some pretty cool guys who are looking to help out other veterans. Thank you all who served! 🫡 In fact, I am thinking about making a blog post about them.

Our next big stop was the Mason Lodge here in town. Chad and I were given a little tour of the building, the people were very friendly and I got to learn a lot about them.

Next on the list we got to go to the museum at the Rothrock Library. I am a bit of a history buff, so I really enjoyed looking at old photos, books, even old school uniform from way back in the early days of Mifflin County. Heck some of this stuff is older than my parents and they're pretty old lol 😂. Love you mom and dad.

Also got to say hello to the many members of the McVeytown Eagles football program at the event and were raising funds for the upcoming season.

On a more personal note, me and Chad got to see Nick Dickson and his lovely wife Paula. It was really cool to see Nick out and about, especially knowing what he is going through. We got to chat for a little bit and I really hope and pray for him to have a speedy recovery. Thoughts and Prayers to you and your family Nick! 🙏🙏🙏

Overall, me and twin had a great time. Wish stuff like this happens more often, but I am grateful for when they do happen.

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...
