The Paxton-Herald is a local weekly newspaper that is sold at many locations throughout the…read moreharrisburg region. It is carried by: Sheetz, Turkey Hill, Downtown News, Wegmans, Giant, Karns, Weis, some other places like sunoco, 7-eleven, exxon or uni-mart.
Calling itself a newspaper is a stretch, but who can resist dropping 35 cents on this? It focuses mainly on West Hanover Twp, Lower Pacton Twp and Susquehanna Twp. It has excellent reviews for local yard sales and flea markets and also church bake sales and ethnic food fests. Saint Ann's Byzantine on Locust Lane is a great one to check out in July.
The Paxton Herald also focuses on local city politics, gossip and general hear-say. It always seems to stick up for people who were wronged and embarrasses people who cheat or steal. But some of the things it prints are totally Biased and off base: It generally reviews the catholic schools and churches in a negative light.
But it does have a lot of information about community events in Harrisburg, Penbrook, Highspire, Steelton, Middletown, Paxtang, Colonial Park, Union Deposit, Hummlestown, Dauphin, Mechanicsburg, Camp Hill, New Cumberland, Enola, Wormlysburg and Lemoyne.
