Orange County Summer Events Showcase Community Spirit
From farm fields to airfields, it's been busy and interesting in Orange County! Let's start with Curtis Johnson's journey. Curtis is a U.S. Army veteran, a fifth-generation dairy farmer, and now the brewmaster behind Long Lot Farm Brewery in Chester, which is featured in my most recent 'NeuCast.' Curtis took his family's long-standing dairy farm and gave it a fresh twist, turning it into one of Orange County's favorite farm-to-pint spots. From serving our country to serving craft beer, his story is all about hard work, reinvention, and keeping local traditions alive in a whole new way. Long Lot is a small, family business with big goals and a big heart, and I'm happy to highlight this great spot! If you are interested, I have hosted 24 episodes of 'NeuCast' (a fun twist on 'podcast'), featuring businesses and people all over the county. If you haven't tuned in yet, you can catch them all on YouTube at You'll get to meet some incredible neighbors and discover places you never knew that are right in our backyard. I truly enjoy meeting these folks who work hard and make our county such a wonderful place! Another thing that makes our Orange County special is the National Purple Heart Museum. We recently celebrated National Purple Heart Day, which is more than just a date on the calendar; it's an opportunity to honor those who have served with distinction and reflect on the sacrifices they've made. The Purple Heart was created right here in the county, and the Purple Heart Hall of Honor in New Windsor is a must-visit. If you've never been there, take some time to explore its history and the powerful stories behind those who've received this decoration. Staying on the topic of history, I had the privilege of attending the 158th Annual Picnic and Bull Family Reunion at the historic Stonehouse in Campbell Hall with my good friend and public servant, Orange County Clerk Kelly Eskew. The Bull family's story is a local legend. They are descendants of William Bull and Sarah Wells, who married in Goshen in 1718. They raised 12 children and planted seeds for a family tree that's still flourishing more than 300 years later. The reunion is a beautiful reminder of how strong family ties and community traditions can be. If you're a history buff, you can learn more at Speaking of strong communities, National Night Out was a tremendous success this year. More than 13 communities across the county hosted K9 demonstrations, emergency vehicle displays, community group exhibits, kids' activities, and even bands and tug of wars. Neighborhoods across the county (and the country) came together to connect with each other and our first responders. Thank you to our police, fire, EMS, and all who work tirelessly to keep Orange County safe. As we soak up these remaining summer days, a quick reminder to be wary of mosquitoes, which can be dangerous to you and your family. Please take a few extra minutes before heading out to protect yourself. Wear repellent, drain standing water, and be mindful when you're outdoors, especially at dusk and dawn. Of course, summer isn't just about safety, it's also about fun! Mark your calendars for the New York Air Show on Aug. 23 and 24 at Orange County Airport. This world-class event will feature the F-22 Raptor, P-51 Mustang, a NORAD Intercept Demo, Cyberbeast vs. Mustang race, Mark Meredith's aerobatics, and so much more. Get more details and your tickets at and prepare to be wowed. Be sure to put taking in our beautiful outdoor spaces, especially the many parks across our vast county, on your list of things to do before summer ends. Perhaps I'll see you around the county soon—at a farm, a festival, a historic site, or watching jets roar overhead!

100-year-old World War II veteran flies same type of plane he flew in combat missions

David Muir shares emotional reunion between WWII veteran and fighter plane
"World News Tonight" anchor David Muir reported on a remarkable moment as a 100-year-old World War II fighter pilot returned to the skies over McKinleyville, California, taking the controls of the same type of aircraft he flew during combat missions more than seven decades ago. Retired U.S. Air Force Col. Joe Peterburs, who enlisted in 1942 at the age of 18, took to the air in a P-51 Mustang, the legendary fighter aircraft in which he flew 49 combat missions during World War II. The historic flight was made possible by the nonprofit organization "Rumble Over the Redwoods," dedicated to preserving aviation heritage and inspiring future generations. Peterburs' incredible military service spanned decades. After earning his pilot wings and becoming a second lieutenant, he faced numerous challenges during WWII, including being captured by German forces after an ejection and subsequently escaping. His service continued through the Korean War, where he flew 76 combat missions, and extended into the Vietnam era. He ultimately retired as a colonel in 1969. During the commemorative flight, Peterburs demonstrated that his adventurous spirit hadn't dimmed with age. Observers watched in amazement as the aircraft performed a roll, with the centenarian veteran and his pilot briefly flying upside down, waving from high in the sky. After landing, Peterburs was visibly moved by the experience. "It was a really exhilarating experience and brought back a lot of memories," he told ABC News. The veteran pilot also shared a powerful message for future generations: "To maintain what we have today, you got to do your best. Do your best in whatever you endeavor. And I wish you a lot of luck." The flight served as both a personal milestone for Peterburs and a powerful reminder of what World War II veterans did for our country.
