Good beer, good people and a whole lot of Shawnee pride. 🍻
The launch party for New Trail Brewing Company's newest state park beer at Woodhaven Brewing Co. was one for the books, bringing the community together to celebrate the newest addition to their lineup and shine a spotlight on Shawnee State Park.
From raising a glass to catching up with friends, it was a great reminder of what happens when local businesses come together and give us another reason to gather.
Cheers to Bedford County’s makers, entrepreneurs and the people who keep showing up to support them!

To know Bedford County is to know the little moments that make it special. ✨
A walk down Juliana Street. U Pick flower moments. An afternoon wandering through history. A bike ride through the tunnel. A little poolside time at Omni Bedford Springs.
There’s something pretty special about a place that gives you plenty of reasons to slow down, look around and think, yeah, I live here.
Consider this your reminder to romanticize your own backyard.

A new name, a new chapter, and a whole lot of history still behind it!
This month, Coach Ed’s in Schellsburg officially became Shawnee Tackle and Timber, and the celebration was made even more special by visits from Coach Ed’s daughters, who grew up working in the shop.
They brought along old photos and memories from the early days, giving everyone a chance to look back at the people and stories that helped make this place part of the community.
And yes, we learned that there was once a time when you could get a load of wood for 75 cents. Inflation is, in fact, real. 😂
Congratulations to Shawnee Tackle and Timber on this exciting next chapter, and cheers to all the history that comes along with it.
