Alpha Fire Company members were busy on Saturday evening giving a ride to a special passenger. The volunteer fire company continued its annual tradition of escorting Santa Claus through Centre Region neighborhoods on the Christmas Eve Santa Express.

Elementary school students of the State College Area School District have been busy this holiday season.

Alpha Fire Company once again will take Santa Claus and his elves on a ride around the Centre Region on Saturday in celebration of Christmas Eve.

CATA will provide expanded White Loop service during First Night State College for those attending New Year’s Eve festivities in downtown State College on Saturday, Dec. 31.

The gymnasium of the Centre Hall-Potter Elementary School looked like an aerial view of a housing development. Rows and rows of houses, adorned with brightly colored Christmas decorations and pine trees in their front yards, filled the space.

Several pieces of a conservation puzzle are now in place as ClearWater Conservancy gathered up municipal funding to not only protect one of Centre County’s most picturesque views, but also protect a crucial water source for the greater State College area.

The students at the Nittany Valley Christian School received an early gift this December. The school put in a new kitchen, allowing it to provide healthy, homemade lunches right on the premises.
