Annual Vintage Saab Jamboree

Submitted by Zakkary T. Snedeker

It’s time again for the 11th Annual Endless Mountain Vintage Saab Jamboree, which will be held on June 5th and 6th 2026, in rural northeast Pennsylvania.

We were delighted by how many people turned out for last year’s event, and we are looking forward to another great turnout from the Vintage Saab Family.

While all Saab owners and their cars are welcome, our primary focus is on vintage Saabs: 92s, 93s, 95s, 96s, Sonetts, 99s, and 900s (we especially love the smell of that 2-stroke oil)!

This event has turned out to be one of the most premier Vintage Saab car shows in the United States and we hope to see all of you who have attended in the past, as well as newcomers.

We are again planning to have a big tent in the event of rain, and a food vendor will be on site, along with some specialty vendors. There will be a few tech sessions for those who are interested, an auction of vintage Saab parts to help defray the cost of the event. We encourage and urge you to bring Saab parts to sell on the grounds. There is room for those who would like to stay on the grounds via camping in tents, trailers or motorhomes. Several motels are also available within a short driving distance.

To reach the event from the south take I-81 north to exit 206 (Lenoxville) follow Route 374 East to the three way stop at Lake Idlewild; proceed two miles straight ahead to the event. Watch for signs. From the North take I-81 South to exit 211 (Lenox), take Route 92 North three miles to South Gibson, turn right, and proceed one mile to the event on the left. The actual address is 58 Snedeker Road, (State Route 2067) Clifford Twp, PA 18470, but we are close to South Gibson, and just a few minutes East of I-81.

Due to insurance regulations, this is a strictly non-alcohol event.

For more information you may contact us at: home, 570-222-3600; Don (cell), 570-499-3404; Zakk (cell), 570-468-2874. Everyone is invited.

Wright Center To Host Drug Take-Back Event

The Wright Center for Community Health will host a drug take-back event with the Lackawanna/Susquehanna County Office of Drug & Alcohol Programs on Friday, June 12, from 12:00pm to 4:00pm at its community health center in Scranton.

Anyone can stop by The Wright Center for Community Health Scranton, 501 S. Washington Ave., to drop off unused or expired medications. Medications accepted include prescription and over-the-counter medications, such as pain relievers, antacids, cold medications, laxatives, vitamins, and herbal supplements, as well as topical medications, creams and ointments, eye drops, and pet medications.

Drug take-back programs are essential public health and safety initiatives designed to safely dispose of unused or expired medications, primarily to prevent opioid misuse, accidental poisoning, and environmental contamination. Officials with the Lackawanna/Susquehanna Office of Drug & Alcohol Programs and members of the Scranton Police Department will be stationed in the community health center's waiting room to safely collect items for proper disposal.

For more information, call the Lackawanna/Susquehanna Office of Drug & Alcohol Programs at 570-963-6820, ext. 32037.

In fiscal year 2024-25, The Wright Center served about 38,300 unique patients across its growing network of community health centers in Lackawanna, Luzerne, Wayne, and Wyoming counties, as well as its mobile medical and dental unit, Driving Better Health. As a nonprofit Federally Qualified Health Center Look-Alike and safety-net provider, The Wright Center serves all patients, regardless of insurance status, ZIP code, or ability to pay.
