Weekend roundup 10/11

I'm a little late on the weekend roundup, but I have good excuses - foot surgery and I'm in Elk County. Regardless, I'd hate for you to stumble through the rest of this weekend without a clue what to do, so here's the rundown:

There's more after the jump.

  • From 11 a.m. to 7 p.m., stop by the Capital City Mall for the Central PA Blood Drive and give blood (if you can) to help the Central Pennsylvania Blood Bank.

  • Have you been to Niko's? The trip down to Lebanon is certainly worth it. Make the escape this week - Oct. 14-18 - and check out Niko's Oktoberfest, featuring beer and food specials and beer tastings.

  • It's Halloween at Fort Hunter from 6:30-8:30 p.m. on Oct. 15, 16, 22, 23 and 29. $10 per child includes pumpkin-carving, hayrides, storytelling and more. Adults enter free with children.

  • The FireHouse hosts the "Hottest Of" Volunteer Firefighter charity event on Thursday, Oct. 16 from 7-9 p.m. Um, don't miss it.

  • The Maennerchor now has free wi-fi. Now you can blog and watch the game over cheap beer and good company.

Hi Sara,

Thanks for your weekly updates. I enjoy visiting your site however I've been having trouble with it lately ... it's not feeding correctly with my feeds in IE7. Here's the error:

Reference to undeclared namespace prefix: 'o'.
Line: 571 Character: 77

Can you look into this please?

Thanks, Anthony. Working on it.
