One of the most missed events that had to give way in 2020 to the COVID-19 pandemic was the annual Billtown Blues Festival held every June at the Lycoming County Fairgrounds. It returns bigger and better than ever this year on June 11, 12, and 13. We at Webb Weekly talked to organizers of the
Are you beyond tired of receiving the following type of calls or messages? Hello, I’m reaching out to you with a great opportunity today, but before I get to that extended warranty package for your car, let me talk to you about a few other things going on that are of the utmost importance. First
June is Adopt a Shelter Cat Month, and we all know that there are plenty of cats in shelters that could use good forever homes. June also marks the height of “kitten season,” when large litters of kittens are born and often end up in animal shelters. However, before you decide to adopt, please keep
I cannot believe the 2021 Little League regular season is coming to an end. Time goes by fast when you are having some fun. OK. I might complain that baseball gets in the way. But it seems like Michelle, Jensen, and I are at the ball field every single night. My fishing has suffered greatly.

When I head out with my fishing rod in hand, my intentions, of course, are to encounter as many scaly creatures as possible — that is, the scaly creatures that are swimming beneath the surface I’m fishing over. In addition to the scaly fish, however, I also frequently encounter a variety of other scaly creatures
The recent Pennsylvania primary election was one of the most unusual in modern history for a number of reasons. The biggest was the constitutional amendments that were proposed (and which all passed), but also the wide scale insurgence against local officials, particularly for school board directors. The number of candidates running for these positions must
Last week I penned an article regarding “The Newborns of Spring,” and just yesterday morning something happened that makes me revisit that topic. Although I had begun an article about something completely different, I feel compelled to share just what happened. A landowner in northern Lycoming County has for years allowed me permission to hunt
The James V. Brown Library, 19 E. Fourth St., will observe June as Pride Month throughout the building. Pride Month commemorates the Stonewall Riots which took place on June 28, 1969, in response to police raids in the Stonewall Inn in Greenwich Village New York. The ensuing demonstrations by the LGBTQ community that followed marked
Summer weather is upon us, and with it comes a brand-new season of trends and ways of dressing. So often, summertime can be a challenge. It seems the daily highs go from 60 to 80 in a matter of weeks, making the lightweight knits and jeans of spring no longer sustainable during hot and humid
Mild mood swings may be considered a normal part of pregnancy, but 15 to 20% of women experience more significant depression symptoms before or after giving birth. Changes in environment, relationships, and other major adjustments in life occur during this time, but if feelings of sadness, tearfulness, and being more emotional than usual last more
They hadn’t been in town long and had very limited practice time before their opening game at State College on May 24, but as the players assigned to the Williamsport Crosscutters opening day roster emerged from the clubhouse on Media Day, the uniforms were crisp, smiles crossed their faces, and it looked every bit the
How great was it to feel that bright summer sun and those 90 degree days last week? Isn’t it amazing how much more fun any outdoor event becomes in our neck of Penns Woods when you finally feel the warmth of summer? All those sporting events that parents and grandparents endure in those cold days
Memorial Day is meant to honor those who have made the ultimate sacrifice in defense of our country. Three years after the Civil War ended, on May 5, 1868, the head of an organization of Union veterans — the Grand Army of the Republic (GAR) — established Decoration Day as a time for the nation
As many of us pay our respects this Memorial Day weekend, it is interesting to note one burial plot in particular, which honors some of our war dead.

Our census, mandated by the United States Constitution and held every ten years since 1790, has tremendous importance and significance. It is far, far more important than a national headcount. The census sets the amount of federal assistance in some 130 different programs and state allocations as well. The Lycoming County commissioners have publicly emphasized
With the warming trend of spring, comes some of Mother Nature’s great wonders. It is the season for birth throughout our fields and forests, and with it, we need to be aware of the necessary cautions that we should all observe.

May is a “crappie” month; if you heard me verbalize that statement and didn’t see it in written form, you would probably be asking, “What’s his problem?” Well, actually, I don’t have a problem; in fact, it’s quite the opposite — I have anticipation and excitement because May is one of the best months to
I read a lot of fashion and style-related news online, which will come as no surprise. The majority of these articles are benign and frivolous in nature, as they are mostly meant for entertainment on “soft” topics, nothing earth-shattering. However, when I see that the Washington Post and USA Today both have articles on the
It may be hard to set time aside in your busy schedule to take care of yourself, especially during the era of COVID-19. We know you’re busy with working from home, helping your kids with virtual learning, and other interruptions to your day-to-day life.

Bodies of water like lakes, rivers and oceans often elicit fond memories of fun times spent under the sun. Safety should always be a priority when spending time on the water, especially when participating in water sports, including swimming and water skiing.

North Central Pennsylvania is home to several grand opportunities, and paddling gives you an entirely new perspective. This includes kayaking, canoeing, and even wakeboarding. With the weather changing, many folks are now out on the nearby lakes, rivers, and streams. Yes. Paddling is another great option to experience the outdoors. The Spencers have a canoe,
Another year quickly rolls by, and suddenly it’s time to think about a return to the Carlisle 3-on-3 outdoor basketball tournament. After our inconspicuous exit in the prior year’s tournament — at the hands of local legend Rich Henninger’s team, my thoughts turned to the definition of insanity — doing the same thing over and
