A drizzly Friday morning did not dampen the spirits of dozens of community and banking leaders and members of the community who welcomed "Hamilton," the latest addition to the Bear Fever public art project, the mascot of Boyertown's branch of M&T Bank on the corner of S Washington St and E Philadelphia Ave.



Community leaders added their appreciation for the bank's mission of support for the community and appreciation of its storied history, visualized in the company's colors printed on t-shirts the staff wore for the unveiling and in the images of Boyertown Area's pride painted on the bear's body.




In nods to the banking industry, "Hamilton's" ears sport dollar signs; his toes feature coins. But the logo for community shines in his eyes and is enlarged on his nose.

Look forward to more information about M&T Bank as it plans measures to support the community.
Patchy rain nearby, with a high of 57 and low of 39 degrees. Sunny in the morning, clear in the afternoon and evening,
Listening to your community is such an important part of being an elected official. Thanks to all of the candidates who had the courage to come out and answer 17 questions submitted by our community on the fly. I think it’s important to note that none of the incumbent candidates made it a priority to attend.
Thank you for the ghost stories at this time of year. It's great to have the variety of artiicles you (Jane and Leslie) put together for our local information, our entertainment and contemplation--keep up the good work!
BOO!
