WHAT’ S NEWS IN MOON TOWNSHIP
MOON TOWNSHIP POLICE ON MOUNTAIN BIKE
The Montour Trail that is within Moon Township is now being patrolled by Moon Township Police on mountain bikes. Their presence is adding safety and security for area residents and trail users.
Besides reducing response times for emergencies that sometimes happen on limited-access parts of the trail, it also allows the local police a chance to have more interaction with residents. If you see police officers on the trail, be sure to say hello and thank them for their service!
INCHES NURSERY WILL HAVE FRESH-CUT TREES AND WREATHS
Inches Nursery will offer fresh-cut Christmas trees, wreaths and home decor this holiday season! The nursery can customize the wreaths with accent bows and other decorations upon request. There will also be grave blankets and crosses available, which are also customizable.
Check the website for Holiday Open House dates. This is a fun way to kick off the season with cocoa and cookies while you shop. There may also be a special appearance by St. Nick!
Visit inchesnursery. com for more information.
This year’ s theme is“ PLANT AMERICA for the Next 100 Years.” The poem may be any style and will be judged on title, content and creativity. Poems should be completed by Nov. 14.
