This evening, I’m proud to be hosting the monthly Harrisburg Social Media Club chat at Al’s of Hampden.
I’m planning to discuss blogging, along with some best practices on how best to pitch your friendly blogger (or really, any writer), plus answering any questions. There are a few slots left — and we’ll have a special parting gift for all who attend.
Give the gift of good taste! Sara’s Favorites Gift Pack – just $25!
I’m pretty much moving into the Capital City Mall for the weekend. I’ll be at the Torchbearer Sauces kiosk Friday during the day and on Saturday night. Swing by, and I’ll help you put together the perfect sauce gift bag for anyone on your list.
From 1-4 p.m. on Saturday, however, I’ll be gift-wrapping for the UCP up at the other end of the mall, by JCP. Bring all your gifts in, and for a couple of dollars (to a good cause), all your holiday wrapping can be done!
There are loads of holiday-centric events going on, both family friendly and adults-only, plus some regular ol’ stuff for the Scrooge in you.
Need more inspiration? Tune in tomorrow morning at 7:10 a.m. to Glenn & Bob on The River 97.3 for “Sara’s Weekend Picks.”
