Since my last column, a few folks asked me about Bones, the employee who oversees the candy at the office during the trick-or-treat season. With what I want to cover before the next Webb Weekly comes out November 4th, this seemed like a great spot to start this week’s column. If you guessed Bones is
Holy smokes it’s Halloween! How did we get here already?! Wasn’t it just the 4th of July? Now we are falling back an hour and staring down the barrel of short days, and cold! But before all that — make sure you’re all set with comfy shoes and your favorite hoodie. Don’t forget those extra
I want to start my article this week with a shout-out to everyone who had a hand in putting on the 79th Annual Mummers Day Parade in South Williamsport. My wife and I took Beau down to his first parade, and he loved it. We had a great time, and it was one of those

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
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

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
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
Fall has officially arrived, and that means it’s time to have some fall fun! Pumpkin spice everything, corn mazes, pumpkin picking, and more! Because everyone always tells me there is nothing to do around here, and because I am a bit of a petty sort, I’ve decided to tell you all the fall fun to
