The rural Western Pennsylvania community of Redbank Township
Wedged between the Redbank and Mahoning Creeks, Redbank Township is a rural community in Western Pennsylvania stationed at the northeastern edge of Armstrong County. The township spans over 32 square miles and has a population of just 1,000 residents, though it does neighbor the more populous borough of New Bethlehem. "The area is very close-knit," says local Realtor Sandy Bracken, who has worked in real estate for over 15 years. "It really has a hometown feel."

New Bethlehem's annual Peanut Butter Festival
When you drive by Ever Moore's on Broad Street, you may notice the peanut butter bear statue that greets customers as they walk in. The statue pays homage to New Bethlehem's annual Peanut Butter Festival, which takes place each September and includes fireworks, a vintage car cruise and an eating contest where winners can earn cash prizes. "Who doesn’t love peanut butter? It’s just a little town festival that gives people something fun to celebrate. There are vendors with peanut butter fudge, cookies and lots of other treats. These festivals are big in the area," Bracken says.
