The weather was cloudy and rainy at times. However, the crowd surprised us and filled the parking lot.Carns brought a group of machines down for everyone to look at. The new Expedition got alot of attention. We want to thank PJ from Carns and his crew for coming down to support the event. Kim Corson of Lewistown won the 50/50 and her share was $245.00. Chris Vangor, family and friends did the cooking of 2 pigs and 150 halves of chicken. Some of them worked from 8pm till the next morning. Gary Halsnik, Dondi Smeltzer separated the meat from the bones. Dave Renninger & Patrick Warefield parked vehicles. Beth Watson and Piper Bartley sold SSRTA clothing, Mark Watson collected meal money, Marissa & Paige Jon Bartley collected money for the 50/50 and sold raffle tickets. We had a great bunch of volunteers serving the food-Mary Halsnik, Kim Smeltzer, Peg Brooks, Rene Leigey, Julie Lutz and Gary Lutz refilling the server containers. It was a surprise to see Andy Basalla at the event after he went through Brain Surgery a week ago. It was great to see some of our corporate sponsors at the event: Jerrod, Marie & Dean Vosburg from Piney Rail Riders, Barry Kellerman, Annmarie Fenush & Mike Fenush, Lee Williamson and friends. Eric Brooks and Dondi Smeltzer stuffed the hogs prior to roasting. Bob Harris and Ed Thomas drove to Philipsburg and Kylertown to get the chicken and the rest of the food. Thank you to both of them! The Centre County Probation Office also supplied a few helpers that helped our crew.

Bridge Work
Centre County is alerting motorist that work to rehabilitate the existing Township bridge on T-505 (Main Street) over Beech Creek in Orviston, Curtain Township will be beginning the first week of September on or after September 5, 2023.
The Contractor, Glenn O. Hawbaker Inc., will be replacing the existing bridge deck and barriers, along with approach roadway work and installation of current standard guide rail. When completed, this work will extend the service life of the existing bridge in order to provide a safe crossing for the traveling public.
While the work occurs, a single lane of traffic on the existing bridge will be maintained at all times in order to provide access to residents at the east bridge approach. Motorists are advised that traffic through the work zone will be controlled by temporary traffic signals at both roadway approaches on Main Street, as well as on T-504 (Middletown Road) at the intersection with Main Street and at the Orviston Bible Church parking lot at the bridge corner.
Additional one-way alternating traffic may be controlled with temporary flaggers at times during installation of the temporary signals, switching of construction phases, final roadway paving, and other times as needed by the Contractor. Due to the width of the existing bridge and the 90 degree turn on Main Street at the east end of the bridge, TRUCKS (Except Local Deliveries) and TRAILERS OVER 23 FEET will be prohibited from crossing the bridge during construction. Motorists are urged to exercise caution in this work zone. Remember to observe and obey, all work zone signage, posted speed limit signs, and flaggers. Motorists are encouraged to build a few extra minutes into their travel schedules as short delays are possible while work occurs.
Bridge work is anticipated to be completed by December 2023 with two lanes of traffic being restored across the bridge at this time. The Contractor anticipates returning in Spring 2024 to complete roadway paving and bridge deck overlay operations.
