Good morning, Erie.

Farmers markets will pop up in various town squares across the Erie region this summer.

Shoppers can trade produce and handmade goods while supporting local vendors.

Gas prices in Erie dropped to $4.137 per gallon today, a seven-cent decrease in Western Pennsylvania according to AAA East Central's report.

Drivers will benefit from lower prices as the busy summer travel season nears.

Erie public schools have approved a new clothing policy that requires solid-colored collared shirts and dress-style pants starting in August.

Officials say the policy (a return-to-learn move to cut distractions) includes community closets to help families obtain approved clothes.

The City of Erie Bureau of Planning and Zoning released the draft Erie Outside plan (a 20-year roadmap for parks, recreation and open spaces) for public comment; residents can review it online until July 21.

Erie Otters coach Kris Mallette said he will lean on new goalie David Egorov, traded from Brantford on June 2, to boost the team this season; Egorov (nicknamed Ego) had a .920 save percentage with four shutouts last season and is expected to bring calm leadership on the ice.

Jack Flaherty talks about his MLB rehab start with the Erie SeaWolves in a new video update released today.

He explains his recovery process to help fans understand his progress as he prepares for a return to the mound.
