Discover the people and places of central Pennsylvania through the lenses of local residents.
Our Town features the heritage and spirit of local communities as told by its citizens. Residents use their video cameras to show the personalities and places that make their town special.
WPSU also works with communities to produce Our Town: The Kids’ Cut, which puts the editorial power into the hands of middle school students.
The series has highlighted more than fifty communities in the WPSU coverage area since its debut in 1996.

After posting a comment on the Facebook event page for the “Our Town: Grange Fair” television program, we’ve seen MANY responses from folks who want to share their stories in the video! The stories that make the best television pieces are those that are unique and that focus on a specific topic or aspect of the Fair. I look forward to hearing many more stories!
