Oftentimes, you’ll see someone strumming on a guitar, kids playing in the park, and friends meeting for lunch—it’s great to see the community come together. We have an amazing lineup this year, including new food trucks and many returning favorites!” Thank You to Our Community Partners This event would not be possible without the support of Brookville Borough, the Brookville Police Department, and Historic Brookville Inc.

People with chronic conditions such as heart or lung disease may be at risk of complications. It is important to know your health risks.” Winter storms can cause many health risks including: “One of the best ways to stay injury-free this winter is to reduce your exposure to the weather conditions that can cause them,” said Dr. Sergent. “If you suspect any injury due to snow or cold temperatures, seek medical care by a physician or provider as soon as possible; and if the condition warrants, do not hesitate to contact 9-1-1.” Penn Highlands Healthcare provides emergency care throughout Pennsylvania.
