The Best of Our Town

About the show

Since 1996, community volunteer videographers from countless towns have participated in making 94 “Our Town” television shows that aired WPSU. This is one of our favorite community projects and we’re already planning the feature towns for 2018—Lock Haven, Reynoldsville, Coudersport, and Boalsburg— and we’ve been busy putting together a special look back at more than 20 years of telling the story of communities to kick off this 2018 season.

On March 8, at 8:00 p.m. WPSU will air “The Best of Our Town,” a compilation of viewer-voted favorites and a broad variety of stories we’ve collected as part of this project over the years.

Mark your calendars and tell your friends and family to tune-in on March 8 to WPSU-TV or watch online at wpsu.org/live. We are looking forward to reminiscing and sharing these stories with you.
