Happy birthday, Nazareth Patch!
Some people consider themselves “victims” of a small town. Me? I consider myself lucky. I spent the majority of my childhood and teen years living in Plainfield Township -- or in the Village of Belfast, if you want to get really technical. In 2004 I graduated from Pen Argyl Area High School. I believe there were about 100-110 students in my graduating class. Yes, I’m from small-town America.

This top-secret location shall remain just that -- a secret -- but photos have been included for those who missed Nazareth's fireworks display Saturday night that drew plenty of "oohs and aahs."
