The weather to drive up is not looking good. We will be driving up to Lancaster on Firday to stay with relatives and that tropical storm will be here by then. I am so not looking forward to driving in the rain.

Drive safe there Miss Astryd

We want everyone to arrive in one piece.

Hey Towncrier: What kind of button press do you have?

~I priced them not too long ago and there's quite alot out there~

I seem to remember the button presses being alot more available back in the day Now I can only find them on the internet.

WOOHOO! Was just made aware that we were mentioned in the July 3rd Morning Call. That's the local newspaper for the Allentown Area.

It's about half way down on this page:

DISNEY FANS TO MEET IN ALLENTOWN

When you wish upon a star, dreams come true — or so Disney fans believe. And pixie dust will be sprinkled over Allentown's Crowne Plaza for the second annual Disney Fan Meet from noon-5 p.m. Saturday, July 9. Lovers of all things Walt will gather to hear celebrity guest speakers, enjoy informal events and enter a contest. A ''festive meal'' will be a part of the day. The event is expected to draw Disney fans from eight states.

Fred Block, the event's organizer, lives in New Jersey and picked Allentown because of its central location in the Northeast. Using mapping software, he drew a circle with a 190-mile radius, and Allentown was right in the center. Among those present will be Lou Mongello, author of the ''Walt Disney World Trivia Book,'' Len Testa, director of data collection and field research for ''The Unofficial Guide to Walt Disney World'' and Deb Wills, the creator of ''Deb's Unofficial Walt Disney World Information Guide.''

A donation will be made during the event to the Starlight Starbright Foundation. The foundation aids seriously ill children with programs that educate and uplift their spirits.

For more information, contact Block at support@majesticnetworks.net or Tina Mellenberg, events coordinator, Crown Plaza Hotel, 610-433-2221, ext 7205.
