Donald Trump

The Scranton High School trip to the presidential inauguration didn't go as originally planned, but students said it ended up being better than they expected. The group returned to Scranton late Tuesday night, after a busy day on Capitol Hill.

The region was well-represented in Washington, D.C., for President Donald Trump's swearing-in, while others celebrated the historic moment closer to home.

Ned Germini organized a bus trip from Snyder County to Washington, D.C., but had to cancel once the ceremony was moved inside because of the weather.

More than 30 Scranton High School students spent the last year anticipating seeing the presidential inauguration in person today. With the ceremony moved inside, the students will likely witness history from a screen indoors.

The audience will include one Lackawanna County Jan. 6 participant who pleaded guilty and another who was convicted and is awaiting sentencing.

On Monday after Donald Trump is sworn in for a second term as president an inaugural parade will march through Washington, D.C. A red restored wagon with big white wheels, pulled by six Belgian horses from Sherwood Groves Farm in Tunkhannock, will represent Northeast Pennsylvania in the parade.

Teachers Sean Curry and Jerry Skotleski will take students to a presidential inauguration for a fifth time. Students committed to the trip before knowing who would become the 47th president and look forward to a "once-in-lifetime" experience.
