October 21, 2015: It's the Day Marty McFly went 30 years into the future in the "Back to the Future" films. It's also today...well...actually it's going to be less and less today as that point in history becomes more and more historical.

But it's an excellent time to ponder the differences between 1985 and 2015--especially with regards to smartphones, the Internet, and Social Media.

There was a lot to see and do on September 10, 11, and 12, 2015!!! It was the Excelsior Hose Company's 125 Anniversary Celebration, which was celebrated along with the 85th Northeastern Pennsylvania Volunteer Firemen's Federation Convention!

We're talking about a block party at the corner of Willow and Grant, (The old Holy Ghost Parking lot) featuring Food, Fun, Games, and DJ Entertainment.

The Block Party featured feature:

• Morrison's Food Concessions
• Justus Fire Dept. Wings
• Olyphant Hose Co. #2 Homemade Stuffed Cabbage
• Olyphant Little League Hotdogs, Hamburgers, and Sausage
• Skeeter's Water and Children's Novelties
• The Boneyard Boyz

On Friday Night there was a tribute to the fallen and heros of 9/11 presented by A.J. Gilgallon at the Olyphant Legion Hall. A.J. was part of the Federal Urban Rescue Team that performed search and rescue at the Twin Towers.

On Saturday, starting at 2pm at the little league field, there was a parade down South Valley Avenue featuring:

• Marching Bands
• Marine Corps League
• Friends of the Forgotten
• Road Scholar 9/11 Tribute Trailer

A great time was had by all! I hope you got to be in Olyphant that weekend!
