WILKES-BARRE — Organizers of #570 Day say the event aims to spread positivity, local pride and celebrate the people and places within the 570 area code.
And today, Friday, May 7, is that day — #570Day.
“Northeast Pennsylvania packs a whole lot into one corner of the state,” said Christine Mackin Meluskey, President of the Wilkes-Barre Rotary Club, one of the organizing groups. “From hiking trails and breathtaking vistas, to ski slopes and water parks, to craft breweries and eateries dishing out local flavor — and the list goes on and on.”
