		<link>http://mifflinburgpa.com/fusion/fullnews.php?fn_id=60</link>
		<description><![CDATA[by Becky HagenbaughThe annual Christkindl Market was another success the second weekend in December, although the first two days of the Market were bitter cold and windy. Saturday was a beautiful day and more than made up those frigid days. Attendance was estimated at 12, 000 visitors. Did you ever stop to wonder just how this event benefits Mifflinburg and in fact our whole area? Huge amounts of money flow into Mifflinburg during this 3-day event, but where does all this money go? As Mifflinburg's main street manager, I did an abbreviated informal survey and I would like to share that information with you.  ]]></description>

However, we have occasions in the Borough where a person or family has special medical needs that require continuous electric service.  The Borough, as the provider of electricity, needs to know who (what properties) in the Borough has situations where constant electric service is critical and could mean the difference between life and death.We strive to give everyone continuous electric service, but with routine maintenance practices and accidental outages that is not always possible.  If you or someone you know lives in the Borough and must have electricity for life-support apparatus, please call the Borough Office and let us know at your earliest convenience.  ]]></description>
