The Wacky Adventures Of Josh And Chad: McVeytown Halloween Parade (2026)

 It was a dark and spooky night, my twin brother Chad and I were walking through the streets of McVeytown. Suddenly, we were bombarded to the lights and sounds of the McVeytown Halloween parade.

Prior to the event, Chad and I decided to grab ourselves some amazing Pizza and cheesy garlic bread from the local OIP.

It was quite chilly walking around McVeytown, getting to see others who were arriving around the Rothrock library, signing in to be apart of this lovely parade.

People wore some pretty cool costumes during the evening and some even decorated their vehicles. You got one vehicle who was pulling a trailer that had some people on it looking like they were climbing up a tree. You had another one who was filled with people dressed up as Star Wars characters. There was even people dressing up as monsters pretending to drag a "dead" body.

We got to see plenty of our friends like Sarah Stiver, Andrew Moist, among several others. We also got to see a friend who we haven't gotten to see in a long time in McKenzie Knable.

Chad and I ended up finding a spot over the Feathers house as we ready ourselves for the parade. It was pretty cool seeing the kids get excited about collecting the candy, candy, candy. Brings me back to the days of my youth. It was also pretty cool to see the McVeytown Eagles youth football and cheer teams having the time of their lives being apart of the parade.

Of course as the parade began, we soon discover that there was a bit of a sharp turn for some the vehicles which became quite nerve-wrecking and entertaining at the exact same time lol. There was trailer which smacked off the corner, scaring the crap out of the poor people sitting on it. Another moment came when our friends from the McVeytown Fire Company took their turn trying to get around the sharp corner, fortunately for them, they had a bit of plan to pull it off. The fire truck managed to back into a driveway and then quickly started their turn around the corner, the only problem was the heavy lights were shining in all of our faces lol. The best part, the driver was our good friend Doug Boozel who drove past us yelling, suck it up (jokingly of course) and me and Chad just couldn't help but laugh. 😂

It was an amazing time! I am glad to see everybody having fun and enjoying themselves, we all should be grateful for moments like theses.

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...
