The Sto-Rox School District community turned out on Friday night at the Jr./Sr. High School for the Sto-Rox Fall Festival. Teachers and staff from the district were set up all over the front lawn of the school with tables focused on the theme of the event: Wellness and Reading. An estimated 400 people - four times the previous. year’s total - showed up for “make and take” items, games focused on wellness and reading, treats, and so much. more. Plus, AHN’s mobile flu vaccinations were available while free haircuts were also on offer. Additionally, PRT offered information about proposed changes to its bus routes in the Sto-Rox area while a free farmers market was made available by Highmark Wholecare.
