Here are a few updates for the website.  First, the New Florence Volunteer Fire Department still needs donations for their basket party being held on Sunday, May 17^th.  I’ve also added their monthly Summer Craft & Vendor shows and Farmers Markets from June through October to the Calendar.  Next Laurel Valley & RK Mellon will be holding a carnival at Jerry Page Field out at the Laurel Valley Elementary School.  This looks like it will be a lot of fun for kids of all ages.  For voters in the area here are the Unofficial General Primary Democratic Sample Ballot 19May2026 and Unofficial General Primary Republican Sample Ballot 19May2026 ballots for the 2026 General Primary being held on Tuesday, May 19^th.  While these are unofficial ballots, they should be close to the final versions.  Then the New Florence Community Development organization wants everyone to know there’s the town wide yard sale and Community Days sponsored by the New Florence Community Development and the Somerset Trust Company on June 6th.  The yard sale runs from 8 am to 4 pm.  There will be tons of fun activities at the playground from 11 am to 4 pm.  Of course, you can also stop and see the Lions Club at 15^th and Ligonier streets and pick up a wonderful hot sausage sandwich.  Always good eats!  Please see the flyers below or the Calendar for more information.  Thanks.

Here are some older updates for the website.  The New Florence Community Library announced they are doing a bus trip to Gettysburg PA on Thursday, June 18^th.  The trip is $175 per person and includes transportation, lunch, and tours.  One of the events is a ride on the Gettysburg Excursion Train.  This trip should be a lot of fun.  Voters, please be aware that the 2026 General Primary will be held on Tuesday, May 19^th.  Please see the flyers below or the Calendar for more information.  Thanks.

Here are a few older updates for the website.  First, the New Florence Volunteer Fire Department has a Blessing of the Bikes on June 20^th for all the motorcycle riders in the area.  Next, considering the bicycle/motor vehicle accident recently in the borough they’ve put out a Bicycle Safety Awareness notice.  Please remind your kids to be safe.  Finally, the New Florence VFW Post 7622 announced they are doing a bus trip to Washington DC on June 4^th.  One of the planned stops is Arlington Cemetery which is an amazing and solemn place highlighting the ultimate sacrifice warriors have made serving this great country.  Please see the flyers below or the Calendar for more information.  Thanks.

News:  The News section of the website is a collection of all the information that’s been posted in the past to the borough website on the Welcome Page and many other pages.  It ends up being a great historical archive of a lot of activities in the community.  The section was reorganized the beginning of 2021 by year.  To see this year’s posts check out 2026 News Archive.  Please enjoy looking through all the information.  Thank you.
