Good morning, Allentown.

On Thursday, Mar. 19, the Allentown Parknership board approved funds with $7,000 in donations to reach $13,000 for a new 12-foot by 20-foot display reading 'Lighting the Season Together' — replacing a vandalized installation last December.

It will debut at next season’s holiday event — keeping a cherished tradition alive.

The Lehigh Valley Auto Show, which opened Wednesday at Lehigh University's Goodman Campus, displays more than 400 vehicles across three pavilions and 66 brands and will host a pit crew challenge tonight and a Saturday gala at Wind Creek.

The event runs through Sunday to kick off spring.

The Lehigh-Northampton Airport Authority hosted a 'Fill the Bus' donation drive on Thursday at LVIA to support TSA workers by collecting essential items (toilet paper, paper towels, non-perishable food) amid ongoing federal service issues.

The effort helped keep travel running smoothly despite budget cuts.
