Always one of my favorite covers of the year — the tradition of the South Williamsport Mummers’ Parade now celebrating its 79th marching. As I have mentioned in the past, I grew up on the top of Kane Street on the South Side, and the Mummers’ Parade was one of my favorite events as a
They’re baaaaaack — and this year, they’re hiding in plain sight. Every October, something Halloween-y finds its way to the pages of Webb Weekly. This year, it seems the bats have escaped the belfry and taken up residence throughout the paper. Your mission? Find them. Count them. And tell us how many you spotted. Think
I can’t take credit for this saying. I heard it from Pastor Mike, and it really got me thinking, especially at a time when I needed to hear it. “How you be living affects how you’re believing.” It sounds kind of funny when you break it down that way, but hear me out. The first
The annual Major League World Series is often termed the “Fall Classic,” but for residents of South Williamsport and the surrounding communities, they have their own “Fall Classic” — the South Williamsport Mummers Parade. This always highly anticipated event will step off again for the 79th time this Saturday, October 17, beginning at 2 p.m.
Your immune system is your strongest ally during cold and flu season, working hard to keep you healthy as you start hearing those telltale coughs and sneezes all around.

Congratulations! Assuming that you have had a successful hunt and there is venison hanging on the meat pole, let’s take a look at doing your own butchering and processing.

The Lycoming County Commissioners gathered to address financial strain, public safety gaps, and disaster relief for residents hit hard by recent fires. The meeting reflected how county government manages multiple urgent challenges simultaneously, from emergency dispatch shortages to budget deficits to helping families rebuild after losing everything. The county is facing budget challenges as multiple
Not long ago, I was waiting at my local garage having my oil changed along with a couple of other repairs for my car. Since I knew it might be a considerable wait, I brought along a good book to keep me company, as I often do. Soon after I sat down, a man approached
As we all know, wildlife frequently makes use of verbal communication to communicate with other wildlife and even people. Coyotes howl sometimes, and certainly we hunters depend a lot on hearing a turkey’s gobble. While it’s less obvious, deer also communicate by making several sounds, and that’s especially true during the breeding process. Bucks and
Fall is synonymous with change, and for some of us, nowhere is this more evident than on the skin. Plummeting temperatures, central heating, and a distinct lack of vitamin D can make your face freak out. To combat that dry, flaky skin and repair from summer sun damage, it is of the utmost importance to
The upgrades are fantastic. The lights and sounds are stupendous. My man Scott Lowery beat me to it. He penned a great article on the new Williamsport Millionaire Stadium and the official ribbon cutting. Well done, Scott. Words don’t describe the beauty. It’s incredible. Really. I have seen it a few times in person. I
Regardless of which Hall of Fame may be referenced, generally, member selection is based upon a combination of eligibility factors, performance, excellence, contributions, and a voting approval process. There can be no denying that if an individual coached for 149 years, winning over 2,300 games, they would be a shoo-in for membership. While France’s Jeanne
Wow, I have never seen more potential jack-o’-lanterns lining the highways and byways of our area. It has to be a record crop for local farmers. There are tall pumpkins, there are fat pumpkins, there are pumpkins of every shape and size. With all the cost increases the local farmer has endured this year, I
Grape. Unalive. PDF File. We see and hear these words online regularly — euphemisms designed to dodge social media content moderation and beat the algorithm. But what is the long-term impact of using language that undermines the seriousness of a subject? When people repeatedly adapt their language to satisfy automated systems, those systems can begin
Being a parent has taught me a lot of things. And in no way do I have it figured out and I don’t pretend to. I am taking it one day at a time. I’m extremely thankful for the experience, and I’ve tried to attack parenting with the same mindset I have with a lot
The local chapter of Blue Star Mothers is always front and center in helping to honor our nation’s veterans. They are again assisting with the Honor Flight program and will be particularly involved on Sunday, October 11. What is Honor Flight? It is a non-profit program dedicated to honoring America’s veterans by transporting them to
When I was a high school student in western Pennsylvania back in the ’60s, if somebody said they saw a coyote, nobody would have believed it — but that’s certainly not the case anymore. Over the years, I have seen coyotes on several occasions, including dead ones along a highway, and now that we have
The long-awaited 2026 archery season is finally underway, and bowhunters throughout the state should be in for some ideal weather to start their season. As the season progresses, there are a few points to keep in mind to ensure the best flavor possible of the deer you will take. Over the years, folks trying venison
The Lycoming County Commissioners gathered on September 24 to address a financial reality that affects every resident: the county is running out of money faster than expected and taking steps to avoid raising taxes again. Several county departments have already burned through ninety percent of their annual budgets with months left in the year. The
Fall is here and, like any other middle-aged whimsical woman, I am basking in the outfitting possibilities of this season. There are, of course, sartorial classics like flannel, plaid, trench coats, corduroys, big cardigans, and knee-high boots But for this year’s autumn I’m looking to switch up my fall styling with some unexpected outfit formulas.
While the famous Tom Hanks line delivered in the 1992 movie A League of Their Own has been often referenced, its validity was debunked at Detroit’s Comerica Park during MLB’s final regular season weekend. The old ‘one, two, three strikes you’re out’ chant seemed more appropriate as two longtime pitchers and a veteran umpire all
I was recently asked to play in a few tournaments. I used to love golf, but now it is totally different. Yes. I coach the team at Lycoming College. I enjoy being around my boys. Our interactions are stupendous. I seldom play. No worries. My window is closed. I peaked when I was 30. I

There’s no better time of year to get out and about and enjoy all the outdoors have to offer in our little neck of Penn’s Woods. And yes, my title is from Luke Bryan’s hit song. The lyric pretty much sums up how so many of us feel and only wish we had more time
Be other people’s biggest fan. Support them. Encourage them. Root for them to succeed. You should never root for someone to fail, even if that person happens to be someone you’re competing against. The easiest example I can think of is sports. People will say, “I hate the Red Sox.” Or they’ll take it even
Great musical entertainment featured on the Weis Grandstand is highlighted by Sammy Kershaw and Aaron Tippin, Tommy James and the Shondells, Kansas, Nate Smith with Special Guest Avery Anna, Skillet, and Live with Special Guest Jet.

On Saturday, September 12th, the Lycoming County Beagle Club held its inaugural Youth Day event. Fourteen youth were able to participate in a variety of activities centered around the outdoors.

Growing up is hard. Parenting is also tough. Teach wears the pants. I am super soft. Jensen is now a Senior. Where did the time go? He is a talented kid, but he has some flaws. Jensen looks like Mom, but he is starting to act like me. The kid is weighing his options. The
Lately, I’ve been seeing an uptick in frilly, awe-inspiring pieces from fashion outlets. Things like ruffled baby doll dresses and twirl-worthy skirts, which, personally, I’ll take the latter but leave off the former. This also means that Victorian-era-inspired tops are semi-trending. Of course, dainty statement blouses have always been around, but the current offerings have
