In any river town, Spring brings a mix of trepidation and hope. The former finds its origin in the flooding that tends to come with the Spring rains and the melting snow. The latter…is what Shickshinny experiences today in its ongoing recovery and renewal. As the people of Greater Shickshinny and the surrounding areas work to bolster this hope of a new path, skills and talents have been revealed and uncovered as though by the flood waters themselves. There is nothing that can thwart the growth of such a motivated and impressive citizenry.
Shickshinny Forward will guide and follow, as needed, in the effort to raise this vibrant community to where it once was in the past…and will be in the nearest future. A community full of the same hope and life and vibrance that comes in with every spring.
Our belief is that this hope and life and vibrance can be part of each day, every day…Spring, Summer, Winter, and Fall.
This community is like a bulb planted after the frost. It will bloom lovely in the summer but grows more beautiful with each passing spring. Your efforts will shine on for the many generations to come.
Like so much that is good in spring, love your community and love to watch it GROW!

Shickshinny needs that boat ramp.It will bring in revenue to the town.The two nearest boat ramps are Retreat and Berwick.So if you put your boat in the water in Berwick a lot of boats can’t go under the bridge to go north towards Shickshinny where a lot of boaters would like to go to fish.So if you want to fish around Shickshinny you have to go all the way up to the boat ramp at Retreat.I think this would be a very good idea to put one in Shickshinny.
