Last spring, the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic played havoc with the start of Pennsylvania’s trout season.
In order to prevent the traditional congregation of huge opening-day crowds in 2020, the Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission announced an impromptu start of the season for the entire state for April 7, early in the morning that the first lines were permitted to be cast into the water.
The 2020 statewide season trout opener also replaced the format of a separate, earlier opening day that had been implemented for 18 of the state’s southeastern counties that had been in place for the past several years, a move designed to cut down on extensive intra-state travel by fishermen during the COVID-19 crisis.

Hollidaysburg barber Dave Musselman rebuilt his business from the ashes of the 2014 Allegheny Street fire, but in the wake of the pandemic, he decided it was time to retire.
Fifty years ago, Musselman opened a “one-chair” barber shop on the 100 block of Allegheny Street, where he cut, trimmed and shaved Hollidaysburg residents’ hair for 43 years until it burned down in the multiple structure fire of 2014. Despite having reached retirement age, Musselman wasn’t ready to quit after the blaze.
