Thanksgiving Reservations at This Pennsylvania Restaurant Have Sold Out in Just Two Hours
Thanksgiving seats at one Pennsylvania farm restaurant reportedly vanished in about two hours. That’s faster than most of us can thaw a turkey. The secret isn’t fancy plating or a trendy chef. Dinner arrives in big bowls and platters, and you pass them around your table like it’s your grandmother’s house.

Local Historia: A Lincoln Like No Other
This story originally appeared in the October 2026 issue of Town&Gown magazine. Within Bellefonte’s Talleyrand Park, there is an intriguing space known as the George Grey Barnard Sculpture Garden. There, you can find a bronze bust of Abraham Lincoln. It’s one of my favorite works of art — not just because of its dramatic beauty, but because of its story. The Lincoln statue in Bellefonte is not the only one of its kind. It was cast from the original plaster head used by Barnard back in 1917. While traveling to a wedding in Cincinnati, Ohio, I could not pass up the opportunity to visit the original sculpture in Cincinnati’s Lytle Park. I had heard about the full-size statue and some of its history. However, seeing it in person inspired me to learn more about its origins. In 1863, George Grey Barnard was born at 113 E. Linn St. in Bellefonte, Pennsylvania. The son of a Presbyterian reverend, Barnard found his calling as an artist. He attended the Art Institute of Chicago at 19 before traveling to Paris in 1883. There, he studied at the École des Beaux-Arts for several years. When he presented his first exhibition there in 1894, he

COG Approval Allows Tussey Mountain to Move Forward With Plans for Lodge Expansion, Other Upgrades
The Centre Region Council of Governments General Forum on Monday unanimously approved a measure that will allow Tussey Mountain to advance plans for expansion of the lodge and other improvements at the ski and recreation resort in Boalsburg. Approval of the Development of Regional Impact expands the Regional Growth Boundary and Sewer Service Area to include 41.4 acres of the Tussey Mountain property, a necessary step for the expansion and renovation plans to move forward. Tussey, which has been adjacent to the Regional Growth Boundary, has had public sewer service since the early 1990s, but the scope of the project requires an increase in sewer line capacity that required it to be formally brought into the boundary and Sewer Service Area. The DRI was previously reviewed and supported by the Harris Township Board of Supervisors and Planning Commission and the Centre Regional Planning Commission. Josh Lincoln, managing partner of Tussey Mountain, first brought the proposal to the Harris Township supervisors in 2024 to gauge their interest in supporting it. He said one of his ownership group's goals when they acquired it in 2022 was to revitalize a property that had "dilapidated considerably" since it was built in the 1960s. Ownership's
