Good morning, Scranton.
🎭 Culture
Saturday afternoon, a special train ride ran from Pittston to Tunkhannock so passengers could learn about Sullivan's March of 1779 from Jersey Greys reenactors, organized by the Lackawanna Historical Society.
The event highlighted local Revolutionary War history and regional industrial growth (a unique journey into our past).
The third annual Concert for Paws took place Saturday night at the Lighthouse Inn in West Wyoming+ the event raised funds for three local animal shelters with live music, food, and raffles for all ages.
🌲 Environment
TNC maintained an indigenous practice at the Blueberries and Fire festival at Eales Preserve (Jessup) in Lackawanna County this early August to use controlled burns that prevent wildfires and support local rare habitats.
🏥 Health
Four Geisinger hospitals, including one in Luzerne (where many residents receive care), earned five-star ratings in a Forbes evaluation based on patient outcomes, best practices, value, and patient experience.
The ratings were given to only 259 of 5,400 hospitals nationwide.
