The Victorian Parlor program will allow people to experience the Victorian Age, where they can learn how to understand the intriguing “language of the fan” and take part in a few parlor games themselves.

North Huntingdon OKs
pickleball courts contract
Pickleball players might have the chance later this spring to play their favorite sport at North Huntingdon’s Oak Hollow Park.
The township commissioners on March 20 awarded a $183,434 contract to Keystone Sports Construction of Phoenixville to build two color-coated playing surfaces for the pickleball courts, a concrete walkway and 15-space parking lot at the park. The courts will be constructed near the basketball courts at the park. The contractor said the surface has to be cured for at least 30 days before the coating can be applied.
North Huntingdon did receive a $100,000 state grant for the project.
In order to help pay for the project, the township will transfer $77,177 from its recreation fee fund.
