With the wedding season upon us, we tackled part 1 of wedding etiquette last week. We’ll wrap things up here in part 2 for day-of and post-wedding protocol. Let’s dive back in! Beyond the guest list, you’ll also want to consider your wedding party; if you’re asking friends, family, or a mix of both. No
The “teaser” temperatures in the 80s recently woke us all up to the fact that opening day of spring gobbler season is about to happen! Daytime temperatures are finally settling back to a more normal and more comfortable level, and the snow (I hope!) is gone for the season. Now, it’s a matter of double-checking
I’m not sure how many people are aware of it, but Pennsylvania has an official state bird, and it’s the ruffed grouse. The ruffed grouse has been the official state bird since 1931. Of course, the hunting crowd is well acquainted with the ruffed grouse, as it’s been hunted for many years. “Hunted” is a
Among my sports memorabilia is a souvenir license plate touting the words “Pittsburgh, City of Champions.” The Pirates in 1979, the Steelers in 2009, the Penguins in 2017, all black & gold glory, all ancient history. Oh yes, perhaps Dean Martin’s 1955 hit record “Memories Are Made of This” says it all for western Pennsylvania
I decided to shave. It was a valiant effort. Call it another midlife crisis. I was going for the Robert Redford. Trying to portray what he looked like in Jeremiah Johnson. Scruffy and rugged. I was seriously thinking about joining the bearded brethren. Needing to simplify. Get back to basics. Eliminate the stresses and electronic
For many years, having a knee or hip replacement meant several days in the hospital, followed by weeks of recovery. Today, that picture is changing. Thanks to medical advances, some patients can now go home the same day they receive a new joint. This approach, often called same‑day or outpatient joint replacement, is becoming more
The Lycoming County commissioners met this week with several items on the agenda that ranged from Independence Day planning to ongoing rumors about development. The board is working with Backyard Broadcasting, the district attorney’s office, and the chamber of commerce to ensure the Fourth of July fireworks display happens in Williamsport. These partnerships matter for
Thank you to everyone who took the time to talk with me about last week’s column, “Don’t Drink the Kool-Aid.” Long story short, it ended with, we don’t have to agree, but we need to be civil and work together to make a better future for our children and grandchildren. This rang true with almost
Like most of us, I grew up going to Knoebels. You can still find me and my family there a couple of times a year, every year now. So, when I saw they would be celebrating their 100th anniversary this year, I knew we needed to feature it. Knoebels feels like one of those “If
So, you’re getting married, or about to get engaged, and lots of loved ones will have lots of opinions on your nuptials. Even if you are going for a traditional ceremony and reception, modern wedding etiquette rules have evolved over the years. With the rise of sharing via social media, the accessibility, or lack thereof,
The one-day Youth Hunt for spring gobblers in Pennsylvania will be held this Saturday, April 25th. It is a day that many young hunters, as well as their adult mentors, have been looking forward to for months. It is held one week before the opening of the regular statewide spring gobbler season to give new
What should I fish for today? As we move into those warmer days of spring, wondering what to fish for on any given day is no doubt a question that plagues many of us. All right; it may not plague many of us, but for those who have the fishing bug, it’s something we give
When you spend as much time on the water as I do, you always catch a few. And while some days are certainly better than others, you occasionally have those fantastic experiences. These episodes are extremely rare. I can count them on my fingers. Last night wasn’t one of them. No worries, sports fans. Jensen
While July 4 will celebrate the country’s 250th anniversary, this year’s April 22 Webb Weekly publication date marks an historic marker of its own for local baseball fans; on that April 22, 1926, date, Bowman Field opened the gates to its first baseball game. Now, 100 years later, the venue known as Journey Bank Ballpark
Pet ownership requires taking steps to ensure the health and happiness of the companion animal. Ensuring that steps are taken to help a pet avoid illness is a priority that pet parents must take seriously. This includes being aware of diseases that have the potential to affect their animals.

As Mother Nature finally gives way to warmer weather, many of us look forward to fresh air, blooming trees, and more time outdoors. However, for thousands of people in our region, spring also marks the start of seasonal allergies, bringing on sneezing, congestion, itchy eyes, and fatigue. Understanding what triggers these symptoms and how to
The Lycoming County Commissioners spent their April 9 meeting clearing the air on several contentious issues that have been rippling through the community.

I’ll begin this week with Editor Steph’s column from last week. She did mention to me what she would like to write, but I had no idea what she was going to write. I was just glad to take a breath, turn off my phone, and focus on Good Friday and Easter. I’m appreciative of
Since we were so serious last week, let’s lighten things up a bit this week, shall we? The world is in chaos. Everything is on fire, and nothing makes much sense. While this would normally be as good an excuse as any to eat whatever junk makes the dopamine flow, that’s not a great idea
A very special group of people with diverse special needs will be performing this Saturday, April 18, at 6 p.m., at Faith Church in Montoursville. They are called “Music from the Heart,” and this will be their third concert since 2024. Diana Logan is the sparkplug behind this wonderful musical effort, and Webb Weekly would

When the weather starts to turn, I know so many of us are thinking about sandal season and cute shoes we can bring out from the wintry depths of our closets to enjoy the sunshine. However, I don’t think my feet are sandal-ready at the moment, plus it’s been a bit chilly, but I’m still
The one-day Youth Hunt for spring gobblers is Saturday, April 25, 2026, and the following Saturday, May 2, 2026, is the opening day of the month-long Pennsylvania statewide spring gobbler season, which runs until May 30.

Obviously, we outdoor types pay close attention to opening days, especially the opening of trout season and the deer gun hunting season. While the opening of the gun deer season is still a ways off, our trout season is now underway. I’ll be honest, I don’t trout fish on opening day because I like to
All of the golf fans are tuned in for the first major. I don’t know about you, but I find myself completely glued to the television the second weekend in April. Instead of fishing or mowing the lawn, I will lock myself in the addition with a loaf of bread and a two-liter bottle of
Twenty-five years ago, my interactions with Rich Zalonis were common. As a football statistician at South Williamsport, our meetings occurred weekly. But despite living in the same community, our paths have seldom crossed in recent years. Thus, I was surprised when he walked into our team’s dugout prior to a recent softball game in Hazelton.
