• Girl Scout Troop gives Harrisville park a makeover (butlereagle.com) — Harrisville Community Park's entrance just got a major facelift thanks to Girl Scout Troop 20462, which put in 50 hours over four months rebuilding walls, pulling weeds, and adding fresh landscaping. The idea came from Harrisville's mayor and was backed by borough council, and the work earned the girls the prestigious Silver Award. Residents will notice a cleaner, more welcoming park gateway.
   

• Butler Farm Show Results: Farm Crops, etc. (butlereagle.com) — Butler Farm Show judges recognized a wide range of top farm crops and garden produce from around the region, including a first-place mixed hay entry from Harrisville's own Josh Stepanian.
