Welcome to “Blog the Mayor”. The Blog is a first for both the Borough and the Mayor so bear with us as we launch what we hope will be an interesting, informative, and productive conversation. One thing I want to remind everyone is that the Borough is fortunate to have ten dedicated Council persons who also want to hear from you if you have questions or problems with Borough services in their ward. Don’t be afraid to contact them. A list of council members is at: http://borough.chambersburg.pa.us/html/elected.asp If you’re not sure what ward you live in I’ll be glad to direct your questions/comments to them.

I hope you have a chance to come downtown and participate in IceFest, January 31 –February 2. There will be all sorts of activities going on. I’ll be judging the chilli cookoff on Saturday morning, February 2nd . Also on Saturday morning a Boy Scout troop from Alaska will run a dogsled through downtown, re-creating the famous 1925 serum run in which diphtheria anti-toxin was transported from Anchorage to Nome. And don’t forget the fireworks that same night at the Southgate Shopping Center. You can learn about all the IceFest activities at: http://www.icefestpa.com/Home/home.html

So, don’t be shy. What’s on your mind?

Mayor Lagiovane
