YOUR COMMUNITY, YOUR NEWS
Linglestown Gazette is working to be our area's primary local news source with a community-driven, nonprofit approach run by volunteers.

"We need to find a way to make this work because other traditional local news outlets have faded away or are struggling," said Gazette publisher Bill Bostic.

Contact Bostic at 717-512-0722 or [email protected] to learn how easy and fun it is to help return "the press" to our communities.

There are signs that the Patriot-News will soon discontinue its print edition. Already, much of its production takes place outside of central Pennsylvania in remote facilities in the Newhouse/Advance empire.

SAVE THE DATE ...
First-day hikes take place Jan. 1 in many state parks.

Lower Paxton Township doesn't have a state park, but we do have Boyd Big Tree Preserve Conservation Area at the top of Blue Mountain. There's a parking lot at the top of Blue Mountain Parkway in the township's former Hocker Park.

By the authority given to me by nobody, I hereby schedule the township's first First-Day Hike on Thursday, Jan. 1, 2026, at 2 pm.

Meet in the parking lot at the top of Blue Mountain Parkway. The hike will be canceled if there is inclement weather.

See you at the top of the mountain.
