The Greater Governor Mifflin League (GGML) was founded in 1976 as nonprofit organizati­on devoted to giving back to the community. In every year since, the GGML has presented a unique community fair featuring food, games, rides, and some of the best regional entertainm­ent, including a spectacula­r “Oneof-a-Kind” Fireworks finale which will culminate this year on Saturday, July 8. Its main goal has been to return proceeds from the fair back into the community in the form of contributi­ons to local fire companies, ambulance associatio­ns, scout troops, school projects, community projects, and scholarshi­ps, just to name a few. Over the past 42 years, the GGML has given almost $500,000 back to its community. This year, Community Days will be held from Mon-
