Pam's Corner... comments, questions and other stuff by Port's Famous Photographer

Last week's column was a little delayed, so I'm trying to be a little more on the ball this week.

It was a lonely weekend as Mike was away for a few days and the Reeds took a camping trip....leaving me all alone.  I thought I would be very productive, but that didn't happen.  Maybe this week!

The Fair On the Square, sponsored by the Port Allegany United Methodist Church, was once again a big hit...and also the weather was wonderful!  There were 43 vendors and a very good turnout.  I hope everyone who spent Saturday on the square enjoyed themselves.  I looked around several times and noticed people just visiting and having a good time. It reminded me of old home week!  It was my favorite thing during Old Home Week to see the square lit up at night and everyone visiting!!

I didn't get to stay for the whole event...and felt really bad about missing the Pet Blessing and the Pet Parade...but while I was there, it was a lot of fun!  Thanks to everyone who participated...and thanks to the Dotty and Joel Anderson and their committee for planning the event. 

The reason why I couldn't stay was I was invited to a surprise Silver Wedding Anniversary party for Tracy and Vicky Stauffer Kio.  It was a wonderful party for a wonderful couple and I was glad to be included.

Monkey Island was held last week at the Alliance Church.  It was very well done, as it always is...and was very well attended.  I didn't get to spend much time there this year, but I enjoyed the time I was there.  Congrats to all involved with Monkey Island.

I am ashamed to say that I have yet to be at the Community-Wide VBS.  I hope to remedy that very soon.  I've had something every night and really have things scheduled for tonight as well, but am going to get there and take some pictures to share with PAO. 

Have you seen Pat Bodamer and his daughter, Trinity, painting and making our Main Street looking so much better than it did?  Be sure to give them a pat on the back and some words of praise for their efforts!  Great job, Pat and Trinity!  I took a walk down the second block of the 'downtown' area and the displays are amazing.  If you haven't checked it out, be sure to do so. 

Be kind to one another!
