antiques: Marietta, PA Candlelight Tour of Homes
- 12/03/07 06:55 AM
On Sunday, December 2, 2007, the 42nd Annual Marietta Candlelight Tour of Homes took place. All week the Borough of Marietta held its breath for the weather report, which had for the previous four or five days been predicting a wintry mix of snow, sleet, ice and and rain. The advance purchase tickets were probably not affected too much, but the on-site day of sale tickets definitely were down due to the dreary start of the day's weather. As it turned out, the temperature stayed just above freezing all day, so the on-and-off precipation was all rain - which failed to dampen the … (9 comments)

Columbia, PA Bridge Bust Saturday, October sixth, a glorious day in the annals of weather history, was the date of the annual Columbia, PA Bridge Bust.

antiques: Autumn's Almost Here!
- 09/12/07 01:09 AM
I do like the autumn! I’ll be happy to see a break in the heat. I love country drives to areas with colorful fall foliage. Two events that I like to be able to get to are the Fall Hershey Antique Auto Show and flea market, and the Fall Carlisle Classic Car Corral. Each of them attracts RVs and people from all over the world. There are literally thousands of dealers in attendance, selling everything from cars to auto parts to antiques, books, food, antique toys, and flea market items of all kinds. It’s really a very exciting atmosphere.
