Plan your weekend with my weekly list of things to do around Harrisburg and central PA!
In partnership with
What you’ll find ⤵️
For something new: DYK it’s Romance Bookstore Day/Weekend? Check out events at Midtown Scholar and Cupboard Maker bookstores.
Worth noting: Lisburn Community Fair is happening all weekend; 5th Annual Cumberland Valley Fly Fishing & Outdoor Festival at Allenberry; Dirty Dancing outside at Midtown Cinema (one of my faves!)
Things on my agenda this weekend: Tonight we’re headed to Lancaster County for a special dinner with The JDK Group; tomorrow, I’m “golfing” with some girlfriends for the Gary Heuther Sr. Memorial Golf Tournament. My favorite Cub Scout is selling popcorn at the world’s best hardware store (J&W in Etters) Saturday morning, and Sunday – a Senators game.
