**Edited: We will pull the winner on FB Live, after the segment airs.

Thank you to everyone who supported Shickshinny Forward at the Shickshinny Carnival this weekend!

We ran into a technical difficulty before Saturday night’s basket raffle livestream, so we’re giving the big drawing a little extra spotlight:

🥁🥁🥁

We’ll pull the winning ticket live after our PA Live segment around 3 p.m. this Wednesday! (We'll be promoting the infamous July 3 Hot Dog Eating Contest.)
Tune in here to see who wins. We’ll also contact the lucky winner afterward.

Good luck, everyone, and thank you again for supporting our community! 💙

🌟 Community Update & Upcoming Events! 🌟
Thank you to everyone who joined our May board meeting! Here’s a quick look at what’s happening around town and what we’re planning next.

🧹 Spring Cleanup Success!
Our April community cleanup was a huge win for Shickshinny! With the help of volunteers, local students, and the Northwest football team, we filled two dumpsters—that’s roughly 8 tons of trash removed from our borough. We’re exploring a Fall Cleanup to keep the momentum going.

🌼 Planter Project Rollout
Northwest Area’s shop class has finished 10+ beautiful wooden planters for businesses along Main and Union streets. Sirak’s Greenhouse is generously donating flowers for the first round. We may build a few more!
Stay tuned for how businesses and community members can sponsor future projects like this.

🚗 Upcoming Community Events
🎡 Shickshinny Carnival – June 18–20
Hosted by the Borough, but we’re helping boost vendor turnout. If you know food trucks, crafters, or small businesses who’d like to participate, send them our way!

Our second annual hot dog showdown is back and bigger than ever! ✔ Fundraiser for A Moment of Magic ✔ Food trucks, DJ Rob Sacks, vendors & family fun ✔ Contestants already signing up ✔ New ideas this year: town wide hot dog scavenger hunt + fun costume ideas for kids and volunteers!
