- Original airdate: 7/5/2017 | KUTZTOWN, Pa. - Nearly everyone who has attended the festival has probably stopped to watch the puppet show, and you may recognize the family behind it. For nearly 50 years, the furry friends puppet show has been entertaining crowds at the Kutztown Folk Festival.
It's a labor of love for master puppeteer Brenda Hanna and her husband, Ed. The man and woman behind the curtain are the parents of 69 News Chief Meteorologist Ed Hanna, who also lends his voice to the 18-minute puppet show.
"Ed can do a horse, Quacky. He can talk to himself without the recording," said Brenda Hanna, a puppet-maker who started performing at the festival in 1972. Also an art teacher, Brenda sells her puppet creations all over the world.
The show is a family affair, with Brenda and Ed Sr.'s grandkids operating the puppets.
Brenda said, even after 46 years, the folk festival is something she looks forward to and seeing different gene...

- Original airdate: 7/4/2017 | BETHLEHEM, Pa. - How does somebody get into the fireworks business?
"Some of our work I think is magical. It excites me that much," said John Kemps, owner of Celebration Fireworks in Slatington.
He sold his electronics company 15 years ago, and a short time later went to a fireworks convention in North Dakota.
"First time in my life, at the age of 49, I see fireworks, synchronized to music, and controlled by a computer," said Kemps. "And since I knew something about software and hardware, I said 'Hey, I can bring that back to the Lehigh Valley and do it.'"
Celebration Fireworks does about 130 shows a year within a 100 mile radius.
Complicated "pyromusicals" are their specialty, harnessing danger into beauty.

- Original Air-date: 5/4/2017 | ALLENTOWN, Pa. - When Katie Kennedy got married in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania in January 2015, it was magic.
"It felt cozy. There were fires going. It was really a nice night," she said.
The blushing bride, in her blush wedding skirt, was smiling from ear-to-ear that day.
But three months after officially answering “that” big question, Katie got another one. She received an email from her wedding photographer, telling her about a soon-to-be bride Amanda Dawson, from Canada, who had seen Katie's wedding pictures online, and had fallen in love with her blush skirt.
"I thought, “that's the one!" Dawson said.
But as her wedding plans moved forward, the magic faded.
Amanda's father was diagnosed with brain cancer, and was given months to live.

WFMZ's Documentary Unit has tackled a variety of topics but this Thanksgiving, we are turning the cameras on ourselves.
"WFMZ The First 40 Years" starts with our station's humble beginning in 1976.
WFMZ was already in the radio business, but station owner and founder Dick Dean dreamed of expanding into TV.
And if Dean had a will, he found a way.
