Welcome to Our Local 717

Hi there, neighbor. 👋

Welcome to Our Local 717, your new source for local stories, events, and opportunities around the Harrisburg–Carlisle area.

We started this newsletter with one simple goal: to make it easier (and a lot more enjoyable) to stay connected to the place you call home.

Every week, we’ll share short, uplifting stories about people doing great things in our community, the latest local events worth checking out, and ways to support the small businesses that keep the 717 thriving. You’ll also find job listings, local deals, and plenty of inspiration to help you explore, eat, shop, and live local.

This isn’t the kind of news that drains you. It’s the kind that reminds you why you love where you live.

What’s Next

You can expect your first issue in your inbox soon. It’ll arrive three times a week (plus a special weekend edition) with:

• One inspiring local story
• A quick roundup of events and community highlights
• A few local deals or opportunities you might like

If you know someone who deserves to be featured, or a small business that’s making a difference, we’d love to hear from you.

Let’s Build This Together

Our Local 717 is built for and by the people who live here.
You can help it grow by sharing the newsletter with a friend, telling your favorite business about sponsorship opportunities, or simply forwarding a story that made you smile.

Thanks for joining us at the beginning of something special for Central Pennsylvania.
We’re glad you’re here.
