Matthew Perez-Jefferson, aka Matthew Perez, turned himself into police on Saturday. Perez-Jefferson was wanted for the shooting death of Paul Martinson outside of the Antigua Blue late Wednesday night/ early Thursday morning. He was also wanted for missing a court date for a coccaine charge which he missed while he was hiding out.
Agritourism - agricultural tourism. Agriculture is the state’s Number 1 industry, and tourism is the second biggest source of jobs and sales revenues. Now the fastest growing segment of the tourism industry in Pennsylvania is visiting farms. The Lake Erie wineries have long been a stop for tourists but others have realized the potential of tourism. The Wooden Nickel Buffalo Farm had been a struggling dairy farm before they switched from cows to buffalo. Halloween has become a major holiday for some farms with hay rides and corn mazes. Pick-your-own is more popular than ever before. Dozens of farms have opened Bed and breakfasts. Some working farms offer tours or weekend stays where you get to milk the cows, gather eggs and fed the animals.
Lakefront property is valuable but this one made my jaw drop. A 1.59 acre property just West of the PA/NY state line in Nort East recently sold for $160,000. There is no house, that’s just the price for a building lot.
If you haven’t been to Asbury Woods lately, try and stop by. The center will host an Open House all day Sunday with live music, tours, hikes, crafts and more.
Gannon University will host its annual Open House today.
First period power-play goals by Craig Voakes and Jakub Kindl were enough to lift the Kitchener Rangers to a 2-1 win over the Erie Otters in an Ontario Hockey League game played Saturday night in front of 4,724 at the Tullio Arena. Mike Blunden scored the lone Otters goal.
