In July, the full moon is called the buck moon. It signifies the new antlers that emerge on a deer buck's forehead around this time of year after they shed their previous pair, Farmers Almanac reports.
The buck moon is also known as the 'raspberry moon,' 'claiming moon,' 'salmon moon,' 'wyrt moon' and 'herb moon,' among other names, according to Native American and Celtic tradition, according to TimeandDate.com.
Some refer to July's full moon as the thunder moon, due to the frequent thunderstorms during the summer, or the hay moon, in honor of the hay harvest in July.
Looking ahead, August's full moon is called the sturgeon moon and is named after the large number of lake sturgeon fish found in the Great Lakes and Lake Champlain. It will be visible on Aug. 9 at 3:54 a.m., according to Almanac.
The prehistoric-looking fish are thought to have existed around 136 million years ago, known as 'living fossils' to many, and were essential to Native American tribes in the area. Male sturgeon fish can live for up to 55 years and females can live for up to 150 years. Each sturgeon fish can grow to over 6 feet long and weighs around 200 pounds.
Other names for the sturgeon moon include the 'dispute moon,' 'lynx moon,' 'lightning moon' and 'grain moon,' according to TimeandDate.com.

Are Duck Canvas Shirts Good for Heavy-Duty Work Environments?
Duck canvas isn't your average fabric. The Heavyweight cotton endures punishing work environments. Like denim but tougher, it starts stiff then softens with age, growing stronger with every scrape. Unlike regular cotton, duck canvas relies on dense weaving. Its tight construction resists rips, snags, and tears. When your work demands grit, your gear must keep up. Canvas shirts, especially those made in America, have long been trusted by blue-collar heroes. Mechanics, woodworkers, farmers—you name it. These guys need something that won't bail after a few scrapes. American made shirts tend to offer triple-stitched seams, reinforced elbows, and collars that hold up after countless washes. When you're working in heat, sawdust, or snow, a quality duck canvas shirt holds its own and keeps you looking like you mean business. Chambray shirts might be a staple for style-savvy guys, but they're more Friday night than freight yard. While chambray is lighter and easier to tuck into slim jeans, it doesn't pack the punch of duck canvas. That said, it's not a matter of better or worse—it's about purpose. Canvas is your battle gear. Chambray is your casual Friday armor. For men who clock in and get their hands dirty, canvas wins. Who says rugged can't look refined? Duck canvas pearl snap shirts are bridging the gap between Western flair and work-ready performance. Those iconic snaps aren't just a throwback—they're faster to open when your hands are greasy or gloved. Plus, they bring a cowboy cool that looks just as sharp at the bar as it does in the barn. Pearl snap shirts built from duck canvas are heritage gear reborn for today's hardworking man. A USA-made shirt means more than a tag. Quality mastered by artisans, not mass-produced by machines. Small-batch workshops across Texas, California, and North Carolina are using premium duck canvas, stitching every seam with pride. The fit is often better. The quality, unmatched. It's not just about durability—it's about principle. Backing U.S. workshops sustains heritage and hometown jobs. Canvas shirts don't just last—they age like whiskey. They form to your body, soften with every wash, and tell the story of your labor. Polyester frays and fades. Canvas wears in without wearing out. As cotton, it breathes deeply, staying cooler than synthetics when you're under the sun or working near a forge. Here's the thing most guys overlook—canvas doesn't just belong on the job site. Pair it with dark denim, roll the sleeves, and you're ready for dinner at your local steakhouse. Pull on a canvas western shirt with camp or open collar. Instantly master date-night ease. This is structured drape, not stiffness. This shirt declares hard work and clean refinement too. If you're looking to flex style while still keeping things practical, duck canvas shirts with open or camp collars are your go-to. Open collars have a laid-back vibe but don't skimp on structure. Camp collars? Think vacation with an edge. They add a retro charm that's perfect for the man who swings a hammer by day and holds a whiskey by night. Linen shirts and cotton button-ups work for lighter days. Linen breathes well, cotton stays timeless, but neither survives lumber hauling or scaffold climbs. These Linen shirts for men are ideal for beach weddings or relaxed weekends. Canvas? That's for when the grind gets real. When you're building something, fixing something, or just getting things done, canvas is the fabric that shows up and stays put. Demand reinforced stitching, bar tacks at stress points, and double-layer yokes. Utility pockets or side gussets enabling freer movement are equally essential features. Pearl snaps serve more than decoration: they are fast to fasten, but tough to break. A heavy canvas shirt with articulated sleeves? That's what separates gear from gimmick. Yes, canvas can woo. Roll up those sleeves, undo that top snap, and arrive with confidence. Western shirts for men, especially in duck canvas, radiate rugged yet respectable character. They tell a story. They say, 'I work hard, I clean up well, and I care about what I wear.' That's a triple threat if we've ever seen one. Duck canvas shirts rise above workwear. They represent toughness, blending style and substance. From workshops to evenings out, they claim their place in your core rotation. Choose American made shirts, opt for pearl snap detailing, and never underestimate the power of wearing something that works as hard as you do. Not necessarily. Prioritize lightweight duck canvas options or unlined styles during summer heat. Work in it. Wash cold, hang dry. It'll mold to you like leather boots. Easily. Pearl snaps, camp collars, and clean cuts turn workwear into streetwear. Perfectly. Wear them open over tees or henleys for extra coverage. Consistently. Superior materials, tighter stitching, and workshop pride add years. TIME BUSINESS NEWS

Port Carbon baby parade celebrated Fourth of July the old-fashioned way
PORT CARBON — The Port Carbon Citizens Committee celebrated the Fourth of July the old-fashioned way — a red-white-and-blue extravaganza of floats, marchers and fire trucks. Known as the Port Carbon Baby Parade, the event was held for the 37th year Friday morning in observance of the nation's 249th anniversary. 'This is about tradition,' said Deniece Krater, the committee's spokesperson. 'We're celebrating Independence Day the way we were brought up to do.' Starting on Coal Street, near the Palo Alto bridge, the line of march meandered through the borough to the Port Carbon playground. Pottsville's Third Brigade Band led the parade, playing the National Anthem and other patriotic marches.

(MATTHEW PERSCHALL/MULTIMEDIA EDITOR) Along the route, hundreds of spectators gathered on front porches, sidewalks and the bridge over Mill Creek on Washington Street near the Port Carbon Fire Company. Parents pulled youngsters in wagons decorated with red-white-and-blue streamers. An entire division of the parade was devoted to children on bicycles. In all, Krater said, just under 100 children participated in the parade. An antique pickup truck pulled a float occupied by Schuylkill County Fair royalty. The themes of other floats included Peanuts and Charlie Brown, 'Let Freedom Ring' and President George Washington. Pottsville Maroons reenactors in uniform marched in support of the 100th anniversary of the former NFL team's 1925 championship season, to be celebrated Aug. 16 with a banquet at Mountain Golf Course, Barnesville. A team of draught horses from Leiby Carriage Service, Tamaqua, pulled an open air trolley. Pottsville School District majorettes participated in the parade.

'It's nice that the parade gives the majorettes an opportunity to show off their talent,' Missy said. Krater, Pottsville school district's transportation supervisor, coordinates the district's majorette and band front programs. No parade is complete without fire trucks, and Port Carbon's was no exception. Led by apparatus from Port Carbon's Goodwill Fire Company No. 1, units from Palo Alto, Saint Clair, Schuylkill Haven and Pottsville participated in the parade. In keeping with its patriotic theme, the centerfold of the parade's program book displayed an Independence Day timeline. The first public reading of the Declaration of Independence took place in Philadelphia on July 8, 1776, before a crowd summoned by the Liberty Bell. Every July 4, the Liberty Bell is tapped, not rung, 13 times in honor of the original 13 colonies. The White House held its first Independence Day celebration on July 4, 1801, according to the timeline. Awards were presented to participants following the parade in the borough playground. A list of winners has not been released. Port Carbon continued its Fourth of July celebration with its annual fireworks display Friday night on monument hill overlooking the borough. * Eddie Yeneshosky, left, and Brent Setlock-Yeneshosky, 8, right, ride in an Independence Day parade in Port Carbon Friday, July 4, 2025.
