Good morning, Bethlehem.

The Upper Lehigh Lions Club + local churches host community events this week.

A craft fair will run July 18 in Neffs, with the Roast With the Lions festival on July 24 and 25, a Christmas service on July 26, and a phone scam talk on July 27.

Bethlehem’s 39th annual Blueberry Festival returns Saturday and Sunday at Historic Burnside Plantation (1461 Schoenersville Road), offering live music, tasty treats, and a hands-on history makers zone where kids can take home souvenirs.

Local homeschoolers from Inspired Arrows visited the Weisenberg Lowhill Historical Society on May 21 to explore local history; the trip featured relics — a horse-drawn funeral wagon, a one-room schoolhouse and a corn shelling demonstration — that engaged students in learning about their past.

Thomas Carson was approved by the county council (8-1 vote) to lead a new department that will oversee the county-owned Gracedale Nursing Home in Upper Nazareth Township, with his appointment beginning on Aug.

Bethlehem outdoor workers face heat, wildfire smoke, and humidity as the DEP issued a Code Red air quality alert; many start work early to avoid the worst conditions (workers share health concerns).

The city closed pools and rescheduled a block party at Madison Park to Monday to keep people safe.
