A part of the Luzerne County Visitors Bureau, Visit Luzerne County aims to highlight all the wonderful things there are to do in our very own communities while driving tourism and furthering economic success in the area. The Ice Cream Trail comes on the heels of the Pizza Trail, which is still on going and features over 60 local eateries. Participants can go to www.VisitLuzerneCounty.org and download a link for each - then, just open the link and check in whenever they stop at a participating restaurant. Check-ins turn into points, which can be redeemed for a variety of prizes!
(15 - 22:50) Area senior Kylie Montigney started an organization in 2022 to help connect young girls and inspire them to reach their full potential. Now, the Empower Girls organization has launched a new mentorship program that aims to connects girls and young women to mentors already working in their fields of interest. Montigney noticed a lack of professional mentors to those working through the K-12 system and wanted to not only help empower young women, but teach valuable advice and support in numerous career fields. The Mentorship Program is also hosted with a weekly Podcast each Thursday. Learn more at empowergirlsorg_ on Instagram
