10 Pennsylvania Fabric Shops Packed With Rare Finds, Colorful Bolts, And Old-Fashioned Sewing Supplies

One Lancaster County fabric store opens its doors at 7:30 in the morning, which means some sewists are browsing bolts before most people finish their coffee. Another shop in the same county stocks more than 6,000 bolts, and I can’t decide if that sounds like heaven or a very pleasant trap.

Letter to the editor: PPL president says data center costs shouldn’t hit customers

Pennsylvania is seeing extraordinary growth in data centers and other businesses that use large amounts of electricity. That growth can bring jobs and investment to our communities. But it also raises a fair question for families and businesses: Will my electric bill go up to pay for it? At PPL Electric Utilities, our answer is straightforward: we are doing everything we can to make sure that existing customers are protected from costs created by new large energy users. That principle is at the heart of our Customer Protection Framework, which is designed to make sure large energy users pay their appropriate share of the costs needed to connect them to the electric grid. And importantly, there are protections already in place today. As interest from data centers grew, PPL Electric was the first electric utility in the state to proactively establish a separate rate class called LP-6 for qualifying large-load customers. It was approved by the Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission in June 2026 and is specifically designed to protect other customers from financial risks associated with serving projects that require significant electricity and infrastructure investments. Under this rate class, large-load customers must make substantial financial and usage commitments before connecting

From the Office of: Glenn “GT” Thompson

Brews to Barns Act: American brewers generate nearly five million metric tons of spent grain each year, and many of them donate this by-product to local farmers and ranchers. To incentivize this relationship between agriculture and small businesses, I recently introduced bipartisan legislation that would establish an excise tax credit for brewers who donate their spent grain for local agricultural use. The Brews to Barns Act will help reduce input costs for our country’s producers, support small businesses, and strengthen local economies. I’m pleased to lead this legislation to provide relief to small breweries and farms across Pennsylvania.

Jersey Shore farm family brings local beef to school lunch trays

Jersey Shore, Pa. — Bridge View Farm, owned by Todd and Casey Bowes, has joined the Pennsylvania Beef Council’s PA Beef to PA Schools (PBPS) program to supply locally raised beef to Jersey Shore Area School District lunch trays. The farm made its first delivery to the district in October. Deliveries will resume in January, providing about 50 pounds of ground beef each month through the rest of the school year. Todd Bowes, a Jersey Shore Area School District graduate, is a third-generation farmer. The family began offering freezer beef directly to customers in November 2025 and now raises about 150 head of cattle, buying feeder cattle and raising them to market weight. The farm takes its name from the one-way Tiadaghton bridge near the family’s home. “People want to know where their food comes from, and we love having the opportunity to share what we do and how our beef is raised,” said Casey Bowes. “So many of our customers are families right here in our community. Knowing that the same beef they trust to feed their families at home can now be served to their children at school makes this partnership especially meaningful.” Casey Bowes, a full-time nurse
