Protecting What Matters Most – People and Pets Alike!

A Shoutout to All Freshmen Starting College!

To every new college student walking onto campus this fall — congratulations! You’re not just starting a new chapter — you’re building the foundation for your future. College is more than books and late-night study sessions (although you’ll have plenty of those). It’s a place to meet lifelong friends, explore passions, and launch a promising career.

We wish you all the success, discovery, and fun this exciting journey brings. You’ve got this!

Back-to-School Reminders:

From kindergarten to college, August brings sharpened pencils, packed lunches, and a lot of change.

If you’re planning for the new school year, don’t forget to:

🎒 Check that your child’s school records are up to date

🚌 Plan your bus or drop-off routes

💻 Review digital safety and screen time practices

📸 Snap those first day of school pics!

Community Happenings August 2025

West End Fair: Experience the Tradition

AUGUST 17, 2025 - AUGUST 23, 2025

The West End Fair began as the Monroe County Agricultural Society and held its first event on Thursday, September 2, 1920, at Weir Lake. The idea was sparked in 1919 at a meeting of the Weir Lake Development Company when Frank Koehler proposed an annual showcase of local farm products. He personally contributed $100 and pledged to secure another $150 in advertising if the company matched his efforts. In total, $500 was raised, and the West End Fair was born. Nearly 4,000 attendees enjoyed that first fair. Seven townships—Eldred, Chestnuthill, Polk, Hamilton, Ross, Jackson, and Tunkhannock—originally came together to organize the fair. Tunkhannock withdrew in 1925, but the remaining six townships continue to contribute, each with six directors serving on the fair’s leadership team.
