April 2026

In a quiet corner of our community, something deeply meaningful is taking root—a place where the forgotten are seen, the abandoned are held, and the unwanted are given a second chance at love. Stray Cat Central, a small but mighty group of devoted animal advocates, is working to tackle the heartbreaking reality of cat overpopulation in our area—while also opening their homes and hearts to both cats and dogs in need. Through a network of foster homes, these animals are given safety, care, and something many have never known before: hope. Join us and stand with Stray Cat Central as they take their next big step in the community! This celebration is a true display of heart, purpose, and community pride. The Brookville Area Chamber of Commerce will host a Ribbon Cutting Ceremony at 10:00am on Saturday, April 18th during their Grand Opening celebration of their new downtown office, a space that will strengthen their ability to serve, connect, and care.
