The Scooter Santa Brigade The first year Matt Ferry owned a vespa, he dressed like Santa and rode throughout the community, as a joke. Today, that joke has grown into a fleet of 20 vespas. Ferry typically purchases wrecked vespas and restores them, as a hobby. During the Christmas season, the Scooter Santa Brigade randomly rides between Milton and Selinsgrove, handing out candy canes. |

==============================
Not sure how many people remember this, but I vividly remember when the park across from the downtown Sunbury Weis market has reindeers. It was such a big deal for us 1959-1964 to have our parents take us to see the reindeer. Many, many years later I can still picture it. That was when the downtown was so alive...Bowman's Dept Store, JCPenneys, Rea & Derrick Drugs store, the five and dimes which all had wonderful candy counters and luncheonettes within the stores, Rosenblums, the bakery, 2 beautiful movie houses, the market house which on the weekends was very crowded. The farmers would come in and back up their trucks on Market street to sell their fresh produce. It was a wonderful time in downtown Sunbury. My parents were both from Sunbury,and after we moved to Mechanicsburg, we still drove up to Sunbury often to see grandparents, aunts and uncles. I love this blogspot as I can relive a little part of my youth.
