Celebrating Father's Day weekend on the waters of Kaercher Creek Lake in Windsor Township, Ricky and Austin Strausser defeated 15 other teams during the five-hour competition.
About a dozen volunteers helped Friends Of Kaercher Creek at its annual Spring Cleanup at Kaercher Creek Park near Hamburg on Saturday, April 24.
Among the volunteers was Democratic candidate Alexandria (Alex) Khalil from Jenkintown who seeks to fill the U.S. Senate seat being vacated by Pat Toomey. Khalil said events like this know no political party affiliation. People gather for a common cause â to improve the community and quality of life where they live and enjoy recreation.
The day began on a bright note as clear skies and sparkling sunshine enveloped the former park side of Kaercher Creek. Volunteers gathered for a number of spring cleanup chores, including grass mowing, weed pulling, weed whacking, raking, picking up fallen wood, burning off excess wood, litter pickup, edging of the walking path and clearing the walking path of debris.
