The Wacky Adventures Of Josh And Chad: The 2026 Rothrock Fair!

 This past weekend was quite fun for me and my twin as the last three days, we got to hangout at our local fair here in McVeytown.

The Rothrock Fair has been something our little town has been trying to build these last couple of years and I think it is really cool to be able to be with friends and create strong bonds for the community.

Chad and I decided to check out all three days of the event as the fair was featuring a band for each of the three days. On Thursday the band Steel Ridge performed, then Friday, Chris Woodward and Shindiggin lit up the stage before last but not least, Hillbilly Diesel finished the weekend off. Thanks to all three bands for providing us with some great entertainment.

Of course, I can not talk about the Rothrock Fair without talking about the delicious food. There were plenty to choose from for me and my twin.

The first day, Chad and I met up at the Pretty Little Pancakes stand where Nick Knable and his wife Brooke and I got myself some cookies and cream pancakes and they were fantastic.

During the second day, I gotten myself a sweet soft pretzel with cheese of course 😁. The on the final day, Chad and I got ourselves some funnel cake courtesy of our friends at the McVeytown Fire Company.

We even won in some games during the three day fair as we both won at ring toss with me winning a knife while Chadman scored a bottle of diet Dr. Pepper.

But personally, my favorite part is getting to see many friendly faces throughout the weekend. Along with seeing Nick and Brooke, we got to meet up with Steve and Sue Feathers as well as David Pecht and his son Landon. We also got to chat it up with Alan Clark and his wife.

We also spent a little time with Lisa and Lindsay Sunderland and their family who were running the cake wheel. Unfortunately, I did not win any cake, there is always next year lol. Doug Boozel and Caleb Alexander of the McVeytown Fire Company were there to help provide food and to help raise funds for the Fire Company.

Ms. Himes who runs the local library here stopped by for a chat as well as some food. Also hung out with Hartman and Andrew Moist who coach one of the local youth football team here along with Lindsay Diven. I even got to see some faces I hadn't seen in a while, we got to see Brooke Sunderland who we hadn't seen in years and then we got to hangout with Alex Haines and his lovely wife Danielle.

Moments like these are always special and I appreciate them dearly. Times like this do not happen much nowadays, but when they do, it can bring so much for the community.

Thank you to all of the vendors at the event as well as all of the volunteers. Thank you for all that you do!

Until Next Time!

God Bless and Be Safe Everybody! 🙏🙏🙏

The Wacky Adventures Of Josh And Chad: McVeytown Fire Company 18

 Sometimes the most adventurous days come when you do not expect them and today was certainly one of those days. Chad and I went outside to take care of recycling and Chad had suggested we go check out the brand new Fire House for the McVeytown Fire company.  His boss from Kountry Kitchen, Amanda Boozel, her husband Doug is the Assistant Chief of the McVeytown Fire Company and they invited us to come over and check out the new the building. Of course we decided to go and see it for ourselves. When we arrived, Doug was not there yet, but we were welcomed by Nate Moist and many other members of the fire company and Moist went and gave us a little tour around the building. It was quite beautiful and I am glad to see that they were able to get the building put up. Now, remember when I said that sometimes the adventure can come when you least expect it. Well that came as we had just finished up our little tour, the alarm went off as a fire had broken out.  While Chad and I sto...

Remembering Aunt Jane!

Image
WOW! This blog post has certainly been something special to work on because it was something that I have been wanting to do for my family for some time now and at last, it has been completed. Being in such a large family like mine is, we have gone through a lot together in our lives. Recently we lost my Uncle Rick and Uncle Dave as well as my cousin Brett and my Uncle Rocky before that. Rest In Peace to you all! Miss you greatly! 🙏🙏🙏 So my goal was to help bring back some happy memories for my family! The reason I chose to write this was for one, this year marks 40 years since the tragic death of Aunt Jane. And second, honestly, I never got to know her, so I wanted to help get the family together and learn about her. As you see, she had passed away in 1986 while I was born in 1990. And boy! Did I ever learn a lot about her 😁. The common theme throughout my journey into learning about Aunt Jane was that she was such a kind and gentle soul who cared deeply for her family. Here are so...

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...
