Bertie's Inn on Old Friedensburg Road in Exeter recently held its 19th annual Belt Sander Races benefiting the Multiple Sclerosis Society of Berks County, according to the News of Southern Berks.

The idea originally came about thanks to the mind of a regular customers who was a woodworker. The Belt Sander Races replaced the original Ugly Bartender fundraising contest at the establishment.

The event takes up much time and energy as bales of hay and generators are brought in and set up under a tent outside the inn before the races begin, with contestants straddling the sanders and attempting to sand their way down the race course.

Boyertown teen Brittany Nicole Good recently placed in the top 20 of the Pennsylvania National American Miss Junior Teen competition, her first beauty pageant, according to the Boyertown Times.

The 14-year-old competed last weekend in Harrisburg against girls ages 13-15 at urging of Erin Joy Good, a friend from Boyertown who is not related to Brittany. Erin Joy Good is a former Miss Pennsylvania Teen and so was speaking from experience when she encouraged Brittany to compete.
