A PSA for PSU folks

This a “public service announcement”.

State College happens to have some fun things going on this summer and it seems that sometimes being a full time scientist doesn’t leave a lot of room for extracurriculars. Or, if you do get some free time maybe you don’t keep a pulse on local happenings and might miss out on some summer opportunities. That’s right, I just used FOMO to get you to go out and do something fun. You’re welcome.

Here are a few highlights in the area for those that felt the first chill of fall in the air yesterday and are thinking about making the most of these last few days of nice weather. There is a strong bias toward what interests me (music and local food), so please add your own favorites as comments. Let’s make plans to meet up and enjoy some summer fun before students return!

Thursday nights until September there is Wingfest at Tussey Mountain with music at 5:30pm (and hikes in Rothrock anytime), First Friday at Downtown State College every FridayFriday night concerts 7:30pm on the Lemont Green, Farmer’s markets all over the place most days of the week (including Tuesdays  2-6 at the Boalsburg Military Museum and even through the winter indoors, and Wednesdays in Lemont 3-7pm), Farmfest this weekend in nearby Centre Hall, music on Sundays at Webster’s cafe, Shaver’s creek raptor center is cool and had and nearby hikes, and lots of other fun places to hike, birdwatch, or swim.

I hear work-life balance is important…

    Sweet, thanks for the ideas Jessi. Adding to your list: Paddleboard yoga at Whipple Dam every weekend morning https://www.facebook.com/supstatecollege?fref=ts And August 15 is customer appreciation day — 10 a.m. beach yoga followed by donation-based boat rentals all day.

    Elk Creek has some good Sunday jam sessions coming up and the nearby Poe Paddy has some cool caves and a nice swimming creek.
