Putting manufacturing in the spotlight

PLAINS TWP. — Eric Joseph Esoda, President and CEO at NEPIRC, opened Friday’s 2023 Manufacturing Best Practices Summit and Expo by stating that NEPIRC is “changing the conversation about manufacturing”

Esoda addressed the 105 vendors and more than 600 attendees at the event held at Mohegan Pennsylvania.

“We are changing the conversation to highlight that manufacturers are innovative, high-tech and socially responsible firms that offer good-paying, reliable and rewarding employment to more than 45,000 people in Northeastern Pennsylvania and over 580,000 Pennsylvanians statewide,” Esoda said. “Manufacturing Day is an opportunity for all area manufacturers, businesses that provide services to manufacturers and individuals who want to learn more about Northeastern Pennsylvania’s growing manufacturing sector to gather together under one roof at the region’s most impactful manufacturing networking event.”

Highlights from the NEPIRC — Northeastern Pennsylvania Industrial Resource Center — event included a keynote speech from Crayola COO Pete Ruggiero; comments from Rep. Matt Cartwright, Rep. Dan Meuser and state DCED Secretary Rick Siger; and panel discussions moderated by Dr. Christine Kiesinger and InnoTek Computer Consulting, Inc. President Fred Reck.

“This event promises a high ROI for all attendees,” Esoda said. “People who are looking to network with key decision makers in the manufacturing sector, to learn more about the work these companies do and stay up to date on the latest trends in manufacturing, are attending today’s expo. With more than 105 exhibitors, this year’s event is the largest manufacturing expo in the history of our region and promises to be a worthwhile educational event.”

Dr. Christine Kiesinger, principal, CEK Communication Consultancy, moderated the Women Leaders in Manufacturing panel discussion and she presented a morning breakout session entitled “Cultivating Calm: Understanding and Responding to Personal and Relational Burnout.”

Additional breakout sessions and roundtable topic discussions included:

• Refueling the Talent Pipeline:…

CT restaurant has new menu, cocktails and sports fans. ‘Best place of its kind on the East Coast,’ guests say

Kenny Mollicone can bet on sports and horse races from home or at work on a cell phone app, but there’s no place he would rather be for that activity than Mohegan Sun FanDuel Sportsbook.

It beats like facilities, even those in Las Vegas, Mollicone and other fans say.

“Everything is easy, comfortable. There’s not a bad seat in the house,” Mollicone said. “I go there because you get to see the guys you know.”

Mollicone, who said he bets on games, “but I love the horses,” considers the food to be “great” at the sportsbook and he loves that at Mohegan there are so many other restaurants as well, and if it gets too late the hotel is right there.

“It’s like going on a vacation,” he said.

Mohegan Sun FanDuel Sportsbook, which opened in September 2021, is home to the largest video wall on the east coast — 140 feet — and more than 225 seats for viewing all the big games across all the major sports. The venue stretches 11,000 square-feet, features a mezzanine level that will be enhanced in the coming months and has 39 betting kiosks available 24/7.

General Manager Brad Bryant said everything is geared to guest experience.

That includes the food and a recently expanded menu.

For the betting there are various ways to do it for beginners and the most experienced, with lots of servers to help. Guests don’t even have to move from their chair.

“We want to create the ultimate guest experience, So we do everything,” Bryant said.

Sports betting has officially started in Connecticut as Mohegan Sun and Foxwoods celebrate opening of long-awaited casino parlors

Wagering on sports used to be about the point spread, but these days a person can…

Pencils Down continues road to success

Climbing up the ladder of success for her third straight start, Pencils Down (Royalty For Life) was able to easily handle a field of six rivals in capturing the $17,000 feature trot at Pocono Downs Saturday (Oct. 14) afternoon.

Competing over a sloppy, rain-soaked track with a two-second allowance by the Judges in the 8th race main event, it was a battle for control of the lead from the start.

Chake (Braxten Boyd) was first on the lead off the starting gate but was challenged immediately by the opening quarter mile by Ap Hall Of Trix (John Kakaley), followed second-over by Pencils Downs and driver George Napolitano, Jr.

Ap Hall Of Trix cleared to the lead after a :28.2 first quarter and then Pencils Down passed her by to take command before the half mile marker in :57.4. Going to the half mile, Chake came first-over to challenge, but broke stride at the three-quarters in 1:27.2.

From there Pencils Downs held the field at bay and went on to win by two and one-quarter lengths in 1:56.4. Ap Hall Of Trix was second with Slave Labour (Marcus Miller) third.

PENCILS DOWNS REPLAY


It was the third straight win and fifth victory of the season for Pencils Downs. The four-year-old mare is trained by Jeff Cullipher for Pollack Racing, LLC of Venetia, PA and she paid $2.40 to win as the wagering favorite.

Bruce Springsteen announces new Mohegan Sun concert date

The new date at Mohegan Sun is Friday, April 12, 2024.

UNCASVILLE, Conn. — Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band have a new date for their postponed show at Mohegan Sun.

The new date at Mohegan Sun is Friday, April 12, 2024.

In late September, Springsteen and his band had to postpone a string of their 2023 tour dates so that the 74-year-old singer could continue treatment for peptic ulcer disease symptoms. One of those dates was in Connecticut.
