This year’s theme “Look to the Future” is very appropriate for our county 4-H program, being that all of the proceeds from this event will be donated to the Susquehanna County 4-H Endowment Fund through the Community Foundation. The newly-established 4-H endowment with the Community Foundation will help ensure the future of our county 4-H program, allowing 4-H members to fully take part in all local, region, state, national and even international 4-H events. The event is in memory of former Rotarians and Penn State Cooperative Extension Directors Edward Dieffenbach and Doyle Thomas. Rotary on the Green will feature bake sales, plant sales, book sales, theme basket raffles, a guess the number raffle and an array of delicious food for sale. One highlight of the day will be the pie contest and auction. There will be three pie categories with a total of six winners. Winning pies will be auctioned off and the remaining pies will be for sale by piece or by whole pie. There will also be a silent auction featuring antiques and collectibles, home goods and handcrafts. All are welcome to donate items to the pie auction, bake, book and plant sales. Please have your items to the event by 9:30 a.m. or bring them prior to the event to the Extension Office. The committee asks that if you are interested in donating to the silent auction to contact Ruth Wilmarth at 289-4226 or rmrmwilm@epix.net and she will make arrangements to pick the items up or to have them dropped off. In honor of Susquehanna County’s 200th birthday this year, the Lenoxville Band will be playing their spirited music throughout the day. Please show your support for this great event by spending a day enjoying “Rotary on the Green” and supporting the county 4-H program as well.

Annual 4th Of July Celebration Scheduled Montrose's annual Fourth of July celebration will be held on July 5 this year, according to committee chairman Fred Mack. "Because the 4th falls on Sunday in 2010," he said, " the KLR will continue with our past custom of holding the activities on Monday the 5th." However, the Montrose Chamber of Commerce will provide a dazzling display of fireworks on Sunday night, July 4, at Montrose Area High School. The KLR Committee (Kiwanis, Lions, Rotary) is responsible for planning the annual event which draws thousands of visitors to the community. Activities will include 10K, 5K, and “Fun Run” races, a chicken bar-b-que, a patriotic parade, arts and crafts, lots of good food, and entertainment on the green throughout the day. The theme for this year's festivities is "Celebrating Our Heritage.” This year will mark the 200th anniversary of the founding of Susquehanna County. In recognition of this significant occasion, the KLR wants to focus on all those things of our past that have contributed to the growth and development of making all the communities, organizations, businesses, churches, cultures and people what they are today. In addition, the KLR wants to highlight the 33rd year of coordinating the annual Independence Day celebration by inviting all past alumni of those groups that have entered a float in the parade in year’s past to enter a float this year. Those planning to enter floats in the Patriotic Parade are urged to consider the theme and focus on celebrating their heritage. Contact Larry Kelly, parade chairman at 278-3861.
