The last Cars and Coffee event of the summer is this Sunday, Aug. 25! Cars and Coffee is an early morning car hangout, from 8 until 11 a.m. Sunday, Aug. 25 in the DuBois Middle School parking lot.

This event is a lot like a cruise-in, but you can bring any vehicle you’re proud of, no matter how far into the project you are!

Free to attend, but there will be coffee and doughnuts/muffins for sale.

All proceeds go towards the First Class Children's Foundation, which provides donations to local schools for supplies they need.

Through events like these, they’ve managed to collect 150 “Imagination Boxes” for kids, which will be handed out in the some of the DuBois Area elementary classrooms. These will include three books in each box, hand-selected from Scholastic by each child.

Listen to the full interview with Matt Reed, the founder of First Class Children’s Foundation.

A new Herbology medical cannabis dispensary has opened up in Brookville, similar to the one that opened in DuBois last October.

Yesterday was its grand opening for the location, which is the first of its kind in Jefferson County.

The new Herbology building is at 240 West Main Street in Brookville.

You are not allowed to enter the building unless you have a medical marijuana certification for one of 24 qualifying conditions in Pennsylvania.

If you have questions about the regulations, the process, or the paperwork, you can call your local Herbology office.

Medical marijuana became available at dispensaries throughout Pennsylvania in February 2018.

Listen to the full interview with Ian Gibbs from Herbology.

If you’ve been eying up that shiny new BBQ grill, now might be the time to buy it.

That’s according to consumer expert Janice Lieberman. “These big machines have to move off the floor, which means they’re going to have to offer it to you at a discount.”

You might even want to ask the store if they can sweeten the deal even further than just a discount. “They need to deliver it to you. They need to install it for you. They need to get rid of your old grill. These are all questions you need to ask.”

And it’s not just items that heat things up that you’ll find deals on now… Look for discounts on things that cool you down, like wall or window unit air conditioners.

Fears on Wall Street kicked up again recently, causing many people to wonder if a recession is on the way.

Chuck Johnson, financial advisor and founder of Guardian Planners in DuBois, says the market does tend to go in cycles and there is one sign that everyone has their eye on.... inverted yield curve.

The yield curve has inverted before every recession in the United State since 1955. As the yield curve has started to invert, some investors think a recession could be on the way.

Johnson says although some signs point to a recession on the horizon, it might not be immediately. It generally takes up to 24 months.

Chuck Johnson says that if you are concerned about your financial investments, especially if you are worried they are too risky at the moment, that you should always share those concerns with your own financial planner.
