Wagon Ride
We really enjoyed tonights wagon ride at the Elk Country Visitor Center. One elk put on a great show - bugling & running across the field to another group of elk. Of course my favorite part may have been the beautiful horses and it was great to say hello to Mr. P!

Fall Ladies Conference
All area women are invited to the Fall Ladies’ Conference, “Beautiful Posture”, on Saturday, September 21st, from 9:00 a.m. to noon at the Emporium Alliance Church on Sizerville Road. As always, the annual event will include worship, speakers, and special music. Refreshments and luncheon will be provided.
Spokesperson Deb Eckenroth noted, “The half-day structure of these conferences is designed for busy women and/or women who drive a long distance. And the Presence of God is unmistakable throughout the morning. Jesus is incomparably magnetic and compelling, liberating and purifying, strengthening and transformational. Ladies conclude the morning saying it was so worth every effort they made to get there.”
One of the primary speakers for this fall’s conference will be Jessica Pappas of Amherst, NY., who is described by Eckenroth in this manner: “Jess is an articulate, dynamic speaker who holds hearts and minds in a riveting way when she talks of Jesus and shares from the Word of God.” “We’re also fortunate to have Heather Glogau (Kane) leading worship. Heather is the perfect person for the role because she is herself, first and foremost, a true worshiper.” Special music will be provided by Amy Reed (Ulysses) whose unique gifting in songwriting is well known to previous conference attendees. “Amy has composed a song specifically for this fall’s event and women will be astounded that she is still only locally known for her songwriting.” Other speakers will also be participating.
There is no conference or luncheon cost, but any free-will donation will go directly to the poor in Haiti to meet basic needs for food, clean water, and medical care. Ladies’ conference donations have also paid for children’s school attendance and for small, start-up businesses in Haiti.
“Part of the beauty of these mornings”, said Eckenroth, “is the diversity of faith backgrounds, worship traditions, age, and experiences of the women who attend – and the fact that God speaks to each of us at the place where we are. The morning isn’t only for women of faith, but definitely for those who might be questioning and searching. All are warmly invited.” For more information, Deb can be contacted at 814-486-3375. No reservations are required.

Cameron County Hometown Sports Hall of Fame
Cameron County Hometown Sports Hall of Fame, September 28, 2019, Cameron County High School Auditorium, meet and greet at 5:00 PM, Induction ceremony starts at 6:30 PM. Celebrating Coach "Papa" John Fragale and the 1999 Football Team.
Hometown Mentors, Inc. is pleased to announce the recipients for its biennial Cameron County Sports Hall of Fame. This year, there are two inductees. First is the long-time head coach of the Cameron County Football Team, Coach John Fragale. Coach Fragale grew up in Emporium, Pennsylvania and graduated from Cameron County High School in 1966. He served as the Head Coach for the 1999 Raider squad. He coached the Red Raiders for over 35 of years, until his retirement in 2012. In the course of his tenure coaching, Coach Fragale mentored hundreds of young men both on the field and off field, which earned him the nick-name of ‘Papa John.’
HMI will also induct the 1999 Red Raider Football Team. The 1999 Football Team is among the most successful sports teams in Cameron County High School history. The team notably achieved a 12-1 record, becoming both the Allegheny Mountain League and District Nine champions in the process. Some of the most memorable games during the 1999 historic season were the long-awaited twin victories over the rival Smethport Hubbers during the regular season and in the AML Championship Game, the record-setting 72-6 victory over the Ridgway Elkers, and the miraculous final drive and victory over the Sharpsville Blue Devils, which launched the Red Raiders to the final eight in the PIAA Class A playoffs. The 1999 Red Raider season ended with heartbreaking double overtime loss against the Bishop Carroll Huskies.
The 1999 Team and Coach Fragale will be honored in a ceremony held at the Cameron County High School Auditorium on Saturday, September 28, 2019 at 5 p.m. All are encouraged to attend this event, and there is no admission fee. Any attendee desiring to donate to HMI will be able to do so at the ceremony. Questions about this event may be directed to Annette Campbell, Hall of Fame Project Manager and Joe Malizia, HMI President.

Endeavor News Closes Office Space in Emporium
Facebook announcement from Bob Hooftallen - Endeavor News will close it's storefront
""To all of our loyal customers and cherished business partners: We will be closing our physical office at the end of September. Having office space is no longer essential to our operations, making the expenses of such foolish. Not only has our day-to-day office traffic diminished significantly over the past couple years, our contacts with customers and clients are almost exclusively electronic-- email, text, social media, etc. We will continue to publish Endeavor News and also continue our printing and apparel business.
You can contact us here or at news@zitomedia.net. We are working on a phone forwarding service now. Details on that will follow later. Closing the office ends a nearly 17-year run in downtown Emporium. It's a sad time for us, but it's a business decision we had to make in the interest of maintaining profitability. We will continue to serve the area as we always have, despite this significant change.""
