Thanksgiving is just a beat away, but before we gather round the table and share what we are thankful for this year, let’s take a look at what we can do locally to help those less fortunate before the holidays. If you have a student that attends Jackson Elementary, consider sending them to school with
What a beautiful Autumn we’ve all enjoyed in the West Branch Valley. I don’t believe the weather could have been much better, and the fall colors were amazing. Our furry and feathered creatures of Penns Woods seemed to especially enjoy the season. Whether it was a bald eagle hunting from above, a herd of deer
This is a bit of an odd time of year. Halloween is behind us, it’s bordering between fall and winter, and it’s not quite the holiday season yet. I know the Christmas music I hear inexplicably playing everywhere already would lead you to believe differently, but — no really — it’s not quite the holidays
“Sign, sign, everywhere a sign, they’re blockin’ out the scenery, breakin’ my mind. Do this, don’t do that, can’t you read the sign?” You know I like musical references, and this seemed like the perfect one. It’s time to take down all those roadside election signs. A message to the candidates and their supporters, please
So, on October 26th, I had the amazing chance to go ‘Over the Edge’ as part of a fundraiser benefit the YWCA, the YMCA and the Williamsport Educational Foundation. With 60 or so rappellers taking the ‘leap’, over $50,000 was raised! I had a terrifyingly fun time doing my rappel. You don’t really think about

Please watch out for all the superheroes, princesses, “Toy Story” characters, and of course, the traditional witches, werewolves, vampires, and ghosts. Come

Congratulations to the following winners of our Marking Mummies Contest! – Blaze Sherman – Sarah Hodrick – Elsie English – Danielle Metzger – Jairus Young – Parker Flahart – Isabella
Last week’s column, Deciding Who Deserves a Do-Over, raised a lot of eyebrows. If you missed it or would like a reread, all that is Webb Weekly past can be found at webbweekly.com. I do not endorse candidates, although I will compliment them if they’re doing a good job. I will, however, un-endorse candidates. With
We are officially on the second and final week of our Annual Halloween Contest! Just in case you need another reminder on how to participate… Scattered throughout this issue you will find several adorable (and not so adorable) little mummies. All you need to do is count them…easy peasy. Now, take care polar bear —
Before I get started, tip of my Little Mountaineer Little League cap to a wonderful lady, Dori Rankinen, chairperson of the South Williamsport Mummers’ Parade. Dory has done a fantastic job breathing life back into the event and keeping a great tradition marching down the streets of South Side. It’s great that the Mummers’ Committee
EXTRA! EXTRA! READ ALL ABOUT IT!! ATTENTION BOYS AND GIRLS! It is time once again for Webb Weekly’s annual Halloween contest! This is my FAVORITE contest of the year and I always look forward to picking out and choosing which little ghost, goblins or, in this case, mummies will be scattered through the paper. I’m
