Hi Folks!
Thanks For Being Here!
We are so happy you stopped by today. It’s wonderful to share this time with you. Can you believe it’s already Tuesday? The week sure did fly by. I hope you had a wonderful week.
It’s been a fantastic week here! The weather warmed up nicely, and the rain took a break. Just in time for us to soak up all the wonderful things we love about living here!
Living in this community is a remarkable experience, and there are countless reasons to love it.
Our Captivating Lake
This lake is a serene and picturesque retreat which offers many opportunities for fun and enjoyment.
Boating
We enjoy our Pontoon and our friend’s Pontoon. Plus, Miss Nancy likes to kayak, especially with friends.
Fishing
We don’t fish but we like to eat fish. 😊
Walking/Biking
Taking a stroll on lakeside is quite peaceful.
While walking by the lake we view homes like these. It never gets old.
Public Events
The 4th of July is always a fun event by the lake and in town.
The Bikes and Trikes parade can’t be missed!
Speaking of events:
Edinboro Lake Lantern Festival
We had quite the magical affair this past week to kick off Summer. It was the First ever and hopefully annual Edinboro Lake Lantern Festival sponsored by The Wills Team Realtors.
Their goal was to have everyone come together and collect all the contributions for the non-profit organization, the Boro Women and Family Services group. The Wills Team’s vision is to support those in need with kindness, compassion, and fun. It was a tremendous community gathering of more than a thousand people. Everyone who attended was utterly amazed by the incredible turnout!
Not only did we have lots in attendance, but there were many activities for the young and old. A wonderful summer Celebration!
There was face painting, a make-your-own flower crown area, rock painting, and a photo booth. A make-your-own s’mores gathering was another favorite. Food Trucks were also available for those who were still hungry.

The sound of Bagpipes filled the air. We have to have Bagpipes at an Edinboro Event!
The event’s highlight was the beautiful floating lanterns that many participants purchased. Each lantern consisted of floating wood, rice paper, and a battery tea light candle. Tables were available to decorate your very own lanterns. Many chose to remember loved ones who passed on. Some showed their artistic flair. All were beautiful! Music filled the air, and everyone was enjoying the festivities! The lanterns were environmentally approved for floating on the lake.
When dusk fell, many headed to the lake to release their lantern and set them afloat on the lake. A large area was roped off on the lake to contain the lanterns from floating too far out. As it got darker, the lanterns glowed, and merriment filled the air. This little community really felt the love all around them.
After the festival, some dedicated people in boats collected all the lanterns.
A Heartfelt Thank You to The Wills Team and for the Boro Women Family Services!

In moments like these, we find the joy in celebrating those who are dedicated to enhancing our community. A heartfelt thank you goes out to the Wills Team for their vision and the incredible individuals from Boro Women and Family Services who worked so diligently at the silent auction table and the 50/50 raffle. Your efforts truly make a difference, and we appreciate all that you do.
Thank You
So when people wonder why we enjoy living in a small town. It’s times like these that make us stay and relish our Small Town Americana!
We truly hope you have a wonderful community where everyone knows one another and is eager to lend a helping hand. It’s so heartwarming to cherish a place like our little town.
Thank you for joining us for another Tuesday Tidbits.
We wish all of you a wonderful week ahead. Enjoy what this upcoming week brings to you.
