DAY FOUR: “No country for old men!” After breakfast, the six hunters in camp sat around the dining table relating stories about their past hunting adventures, while the guides readied equipment and the horses for the evening hunt. Our mid afternoon outing was to be another horseback ride up the switchback trails to the high
My style has definitely taken a hit since becoming a mom — as it does for most women when they have a family. I’m not suggesting that moms are dowdy or unkempt, but they usually aren’t as fashionable as non-moms, which is to be expected since style gets knocked down a few rungs on the
Mounts Fundraising Drive To Renovate and Remodel For 75 years, the W.B. Konkle Library has been serving the people of Montoursville and the surrounding area well. Their mission is to “enrich the community by providing a friendly environment to learn, discover and enjoy.” In a bid to continue this mission into the future and to
So, you don’t like the taste of wild game and fish? That’s a question I found myself asking several times over the past few weeks. The answer often came back that it was “gamey” or “fishy” tasting, and I fully understand, that’s not a taste I would care for either. After partaking in some poorly
The Spencers just got back from a quick family vacation. We spent the past few days along Pine Creek in isolation. Teach has several good friends in her industry. One of them invited us up to her cabin. We did the exact same last year during COVID. We had such an amazing time. It was
Williamsport, PA… Trips to and from the downtown will be free on the designated Fireworks Bus route on Sunday, July 4th, 2021. Park and Ride lots are located near each of the stops to make it convenient for traveling to the downtown area during the hours of 6pm and 10:30pm. “Public Transportation will be free
There has been way too much negativity across our Nation in the last year, we need to leave it in the past and move forward full speed ahead. The United States of America is truly the greatest shining light of freedom and opportunity the world has ever seen. Our One Nation Under God must remember its
Y’all! It’s getting hot! And with a holiday weekend upon us, we are all *hopefully* going to be out enjoying the beautiful warm weather! Don’t forget the sunscreen and to stay hydrated! No drinking and driving and keep an eye out for friends and loved ones — including your furbabies! Cats and dogs are as
Last year’s July 4th celebrations seemed subdued and out of place as the “Set the Night to Music” fireworks took place at the Lycoming County Fairgrounds in Hughesville; well, this year, they are back bigger and better in downtown Williamsport in the vicinity of the Hampton Inn and Wegmans on Sunday, July 4. It wasn’t
The Lycoming County Board of Commissioners Meetings could be described as 99% mundane matters and 1% wow moments. The ‘wows’ generally catch me by surprise, such as line item 1.6, “Proclamation: Jack McKee 100th Birthday,” listed on the Tuesday, June 22nd agenda. OK, I guess it is great that a guy hits the century mark,
I have always been around hunting and shooting sports. I grew up around a shooting preserve, aiding my uncle Raymond P. Sones in the feeding and care of pheasants, chucker partridge, and bobwhite quail. For my family, hunting and conservation go hand in hand. My dad always taught me to pick my shot and not
Anyone involved in hunting, especially big game, knows how important it is to use the right caliber of gun to take the prey you are after. You don’t use a 22-caliber rifle for hunting deer or bears, and you don’t need a 300 Winchester Mag. to bag a gray squirrel. This week’s piece, however, is
At one time or another, all of us at some point, have probably signed a petition. It might have been to get someone on an election ballot or showing our support for a cause or protest against one issue or another. But none of us have ever bore the heavyweight of a pen in the
Part 3 DAY THREE: “Relief comes in different ways.” After the near-death experience the night before, sleep was hard to come by, and gathering for breakfast with the other hunters and guides could not come soon enough. Everyone’s curiosity was satisfied as I related my story of the hunt and near-tragedy with my guide, Travis,
Getting ready for a Fourth of July celebration, whether it’s at home with your loved ones or celebrating with a few friends, doesn’t mean you have to reach for an American flag t-shirt or print. Instead, you can express your patriotism and sense of style with a variety of summer-loving looks. Here are a few
The Muncy Historical Society is one of the most active historical societies in the area and pride themselves on the various programs they present to the public. This spirit continues when they present their annual Textile Show and Exhibition on Friday, July 9, and Saturday, July 10 at the Celebration Centre and Living Water Café
Without any proven data to rely on, I would guess that there aren’t many Americans thrilled with ‘the new normal’ that is being introduced to our daily lives. It could be safely assumed that most would much prefer the pre-COVID norm that we have been living without for the past 16 months. However, glimpses of
With the recent announcement, by Gov. Wolf of the rollback on COVID-19 restrictions, ballpark capacity has returned to 100%. Other safety measures in place for the 2021 season include: – Sanitizing stations throughout the ballpark – Restroom attendants on duty providing extra sanitization of high touch surfaces – Clear Bag Policy for a touchless search
Tip of my Webb Weekly cap with the American Flag on the side to Mr. George Hutchinson. The local real estate developer, businessman, and entrepreneur has a knack for making things better and more aesthetically appealing than he found them. He increases property value in whatever neighborhood he invests in. What triggered my thinking is what he
Before I start, let’s alllll get one thing straight (no pun intended). If you intend to read this article and then proceed to call or email me with hate or vitriol; if you intend to call me names, tell me I need to find God (my relationship with God is just fine, thanks) or any
Paul McGinn and I have been good friends for a very long time. We coached hoops together and called several games on WEBBWEEKLYLIVE. Paul is a good dude, and he is always around. We don’t see much of each other nowadays as we both focus more on our boys. I reached out to Paul this
I suppose a better way of saying “let’s get down to earth” might be to say, “it’s time to start thinking terrestrial.” What I mean is that even though a lot of our mayfly hatches are slowing down and coming to an end, now is the time to start turning to terrestrials or those bugs
DAY TWO (cont.): “The Really, Really Ugly.” Nearly two hours had passed as Travis skinned out the bear on the steep hillside in the thick brush aided only by a dim headlamp. It was not an easy task by himself, and the job was nearly complete when he let out a blood-curdling yell. Moments later,
The Uptown Music Collective, the area’s premier nonprofit school of music, is now accepting scholarship applications for its 2021-2022 school year, which will begin in September. This year, the Collective is offering 11 needs- and merit-based scholarships to currently enrolled students, as well as new students wishing to enroll in the school for the upcoming
With the 2021 Little League Baseball® World Series (LLBWS) set for August 19-29, a group of dedicated volunteers known as “Team Hosts” are gearing up to make sure all the players, coaches, and managers have an unforgettable time in Williamsport this summer. Each year, Team Hosts are instrumental in making sure everything behind the scenes is
In 2019, my very good friend from college suggested we celebrate our 40th birthdays the following year with a trip to Sonoma. I said, “sounds great; let’s touch base after the new year and see what 2020 looks like…” Well, we all know what happened in 2020. My friend, who lives in Denver, turned 40

When it comes to police officers and the media, it seems that negative stories are what consistently make news headlines. Rarely are the countless good deeds that are performed by our brave men and women in blue lauded. This is why when local police and rescue personnel saved two people and their dog, it was
With more Sunday hunting opportunities on the way, additional days available for hunters to fill their antlerless deer tags and the biggest allotment of elk licenses yet, the 2021-22 season is one that Pennsylvania hunters eagerly are awaiting. And they won’t have to wait for long. Hunting and furtaker licenses for 2021-22 will go on
