Weekend Plans: Friday, Aug. 24 to Sunday, Aug. 26

And here come the students.

Be sure to check out our calendar of events and  yard-sale classifieds  to see everything going on this weekend. Or visit our weather page for the latest forecasts.

And, of course, the Centre County Grange Encampment and Fair, better known as ‘The Grange Fair,’ runs through Aug. 30. The Grange Fair is a city within a town, as campers ‘move into’ the Grange Park in Centre Hall to live for more than a week. Come for the concerts, the rides, the amazing food, the games, and the competitions.
