The Venango County Sheriff's Office now has an additional form of transportation – a pair of heavy-duty electric bikes – thanks to a donation from a Franklin couple who supports Sheriff Eric Foy and his deputies.

Mike and Joyce Hughes donated the funds to launch the e-bike program, Foy said, and “without their generosity, this would never have been possible.” It would take a lot of funding to raise the funds needed to launch the project. »
