Plan your weekend with my weekly list of things to do around Harrisburg and central PA! Scroll down or use the menu links to find ideas for your weekend.
What you’ll find:
For something new: I suppose it is officially the holiday season. Behold.
Worth noting: Plenty to do tonight for the bar industry’s #1 night of the year. Remember: Tip well, don’t be an a-hole.
Things on my agenda this weekend: Not much, just a whirlwind trip to Pittsburgh to see family then packing our entire house for next week’s move. I didn’t even miss a WR the week I had a baby, but let’s just go easy on me next week.
