Good morning, Scranton.
🏘️ Community
Valley in Motion is studying a half-mile trail that will connect Connell Park to Pinchot State Forest—local residents and housing groups have offered ideas to improve safety and access to outdoor recreation.
The project is part of a plan to link nearby public housing with green spaces and boost the neighborhood's well-being.
At Clarks Summit United Methodist Church, more than 40 vendors sold handmade items like candles and dolls at the Fall Craft Fair, drawing local shoppers and visitors from out of state.
Funds raised support church operations — organizers plan a second fair in April.
