COVER STORY

Downtown Harvest Festival

There was something for everyone at the Harvest Festival on Main Street Oct. 5. Children had their faces painted, adults could get a massage or throw an axe at a target 15 feet away, many visitors shopped for drinks, hand-crafted metal jewelry, framed paintings, and treats for their dogs.

LEHIGH VALLEY

Rep. Wild hosts town hall

United States Representative Susan Wild, of Pennsylvania’s Seventh District, met generally friendly constituents in a town hall session Oct. 2 at Muhlenberg College’s Seegers Union Hall.  “I’m always happy to see young people involved in the political process,” said Wild, as she looked out at many younger citizens. However, there was an impressive cross section of ages at the event.

SPORTS

Football-Freedom tops Emmaus

When a quarterback plays nearly flawless football, the chances of that team winning are exceedingly high. When your quarterback sets single game records, well, you know how this will end. Jared Jenkins put on a passing clinic in Freedom’s 63-28 mercy-rule win over Emmaus last week and it was a night to remember for the senior signal caller.

FOCUS

Command performance

Anyone who loves the television shows, “Downton Abbey” (and now the movie) and “The Crown,” or follows the British Royal Family, won’t want to miss the American premiere of “The Coronation of King George II,” a theatrical and musical recreation of the crowning of the British king in 1727 in London’s Westminster Abbey.  The 3 p.m. Oct. 26 event, the Bach Choir of Bethlehem’s Gala Concert, is presented by Canada’s Theatre of Early Music, in St. John’s Evangelical Lutheran Church in center city Allentown.
