You could say that the face mask is the fashion accessory of the summer and it looks like we’ll be wearing them for a while.

After reading our earlier story about volunteers making face masks we’ve had several folks ask where they can buy a mask from local businesses. Here is a list of local businesses that are making masks right here in Western Pennsylvania. All of these masks are available for purchase online.

From plain to fancy to see-through to made by Mike Tomlin’s wife, you should have no problem finding a locally-made mask that suits you.
