The level of citizen attendance at borough council meetings is disappointing.
Candidates Brad Chambers, Aimie Kellers, and Nate Roach attended this meeting to hear about the budget. Candidate Kelly Murphy did not, same as last time. 

The Bust Maker's Market was a success. These are photos of the setup on Saturday morning . . .
