Montgomery Local

By Jade Heasley - | Jul 20, 2022

Unfortunately we are having a very dry summer and the grass is like straw. I was walking outside locally in the last week or two and the grass was crunching under my feet like leaves do in the fall.

Please be really careful with any type of fire outside right now. Whether you’re having a campfire, burning trash, setting off fireworks (yes, we’re still hearing some of those at night), or smoking, etc., use caution with any sort of flame. Grass fires in these conditions could be disastrous.

Also in extreme heat, please check on your elderly neighbors and family members, and be careful walking dogs on hot asphalt.

In the meantime, enjoy air conditioning and know that fall will be coming soon.

Montgomery Borough Events

and Announcements

The Montgomery Volunteer Fire Company is accepting donations of bottled water and Gatorade. Donations can be dropped off on Friday and Saturday evenings. Please park by the office door and not in front of the garage doors in case they have to leave on an emergency call. If you can’t make it on these days, leave a message at (570) 547-1380.

Anyone who would like to attend in-person events at the Montgomery Area Public Library needs to register one week ahead by calling (570) 547-6212 or by going to the Events tab on the library’s website. Please advise the library if you or anyone in your family has a food allergy because snacks are served at some events.
