Wednesday night gave North America its best view of a lunar eclipse since 2004. The skies over Bradford, PA were partly cloudy, giving intermittent glimpses of the moon as it progressed through the eclipse.
At 10pm EST temperatures were in the single digit range as the eclipse went into totality. The cold, clear February sky helped to give a crystal clarity to the spectacle.

“As I look around me,
a bright sky I see,
and a shadow beside me.
Six more weeks of winter it will be!”
Even as Punxsutawney Phil predicted that we’ll see six more weeks of winter, it was hard to believe that anything cast a shadow today.
This week’s weather is predicted to be overcast and cloudy with temperatures hovering slightly above freezing.
Speaking of the winter blues, are you looking for something to do on Superbowl Sunday? Consider coming to the 5th Annual Big Game Party & Wing Contest, 6pm Sunday at the Open Arms Community Church, 1289 East Main Street in Bradford. Bring your best wing sauce and enter the contest, or just bring a dish or drink to share. Everyone is invited!

There was a lot of fun, and a lot of good deals, at the Bradford Area Chamber of Commerce’s 2007 Auction, held at the Masonic Hall on South Avenue. According to Diane Sheely, the Chamber’s Executive Director, about 140 people attended the Tuesday evening event.
In addition to the traditional auction, there were silent auctions, and a balloon raffle. Auction items and prizes were donated by local businesses, giving bidders a chance to get some very unique items. A unique knife from W.R. Case & Sons Cutlery, and a unique lighter from Zippo that included the manufacturing die, so another one can never be made, were included.
The Chamber’s annual auction is not just a sale, but rather, an event. The buffet was stocked with dishes from several local caterers, and refreshments included a cash bar. While it was too early to provide an exact total of the proceeds, Sheely did say this year’s auction was the best in recent years.
