DURYEA, LUZERNE CO. (WOLF) \u2014 In Duryea, people came out to celebrate the borough\u2019s 125th birthday.<\/p>\n
Saturday’s festivities saw a parade through the borough and a community picnic at the Germania Hose Company. Brandishing commemorative 125th anniversary t shirts, the crowd listened to music, ate food, and shopped at booths made of local residents selling everything from baked goods to wooden signs. <\/p>\n
Mayor Trina Moss was joined by local government leaders and said the fair was a time to celebrate the community and have a lot of fun.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt makes me feel awesome,” said Mayor Moss through the music. “And I always say if anyone knows me, I love Duryea and that\u2019s what it’s all about. It\u2019s about community. We are a hardworking, resilient community, that\u2019s what our parents taught us. They taught us to be neighborly, talk to your neighbors, work together, and that\u2019s what this should be all about.\u201d<\/p>\n
Incorporated in 1901, the 125th was actually on Thursday, and on the day, they held a church service to honor the history of the town. <\/p>\n
Mayor Moss said she couldn\u2019t believe the amount of people that came to the parade and picnic and hopes that it\u2019s a good omen for the next 125 years.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"DURYEA, LUZERNE CO.
