Good morning!
I’m very excited to be attending the second “Test Kitchen” tonight for the coming-this-fall (I *think*) Rubicon. I can’t tell you more than that right, now, but you can follow their path via Instagram, Facebook and Twitter.
Tomorrow night, we have downtown dinner plans before a low-key night. Then on Saturday, my girlfriends and I are heading to Blue Mountain Outfitters to spend a day on the Susquehanna River, canoeing from Duncannon to Marysville. Naturally we’ll cap the day at The Waterfront Bar & Grill (formerly the Marysville Tavern) for the best views of the River — and a relaxing beverage, of course.

Of course, the biggest party this weekend is The Vineyard & Brewery at Hershey’s grand opening party. You can read all about it in my column in today’s The Patriot-News.
Don’t forget, if you need even more inspiration, tune in tomorrow morning at 7:10 a.m. to The Rock’n Roll Breakfast on The River 97.3 for “Sara’s Weekend Picks.” I’ll also join Bruce Bond during the 5 p.m. hour as he takes to WHP 580′s afternoon drive for his on-air audition. Listen in!
