🚴💙 Duryea, Let's Give Go Joe a Big Welcome! 💙🚴

Our community is excited to welcome WNEP meteorologist Joe Snedeker and Go Joe 29 as he makes his way through Duryea during his annual charity bike ride benefiting Saint Joseph's Center.

For 29 years, Go Joe has brought communities together across Northeastern and Central Pennsylvania to support the children and adults served by Saint Joseph's Center. It's a tradition that reminds us what can happen when neighbors come together for a great cause.

📍 Duryea Borough Building
315 Main Street
🗓️ Friday, July 24
⏰ Between 2:00 and 2:30 p.m.

Bring your family, invite your neighbors, and help us line Main Street with plenty of Duryea pride as we cheer Joe on during his journey. Whether you stay for a few minutes or the entire stop, your support will help make this visit a memorable one.

Let's show everyone what the Duryea community is all about. We hope to see you there! 💙🚴

To all of our brothers and sisters in law enforcement, whether here in Duryea, across Pennsylvania, or around the world, thank you. You stand on the front lines, often in the face of uncertainty, to keep others safe. Your sacrifices, big and small, make a difference every day.
