Today, I am going to Beaver Stadium in State College, PA to watch a college football game between Penn State and Villanova.
Here is a view of the stadium from the parking lot.

This last weekend was Labor Day, so once again, the city of Allentown, PA hosted its annual Great Allentown Fair. I spent time with Taylor Hicks, a man I met at a meetup event where we saw the movie, Megan 2.0. We watched a show of a person claiming to be the strongest man. I got some dinner from a food vendor. Then, we went to the building where they keep rabbits and other animals. Here are some photos from the event.

Hamilton has nice parks where you can spend your time at. I visited the Waterfront Trail, which goes along the shores of Lake Ontario.
*Below is an excerpt from a biography my grandfather was working on about his family.
By Wardell F. Steigerwalt
Cora Belle Steigerwalt was born December 26, 1881: the daughter of Samuel and Elizabeth Howerter, the youngest of eleven living children. At that time, the family lived in the "Eile Dahl," or "Owl Valley" in Lynn Township, Lehigh County, PA. She attended the one-room school sometimes known as Rausch's School.
She was undoubtedly a bright child and a good student and was probably also the family favorite. Her mother was 43 years old when she was born and may have already been suffering from diabetes, so Cora was for the most part raised by her older sisters, Alice and Elizabeth.
Cora was raised in a family in which only Pennsylvania Dutch was spoken. They attended the New Jerusalem Church every Sunday, where her father was the church organist for some 30 years, and in which German was the spoken language. Her father, who was literate in German, subscribed to a weekly German newspaper.

The Atlanta Smoke held on to defeat the New York Rise 7-5 in the final match of a three-game series on Saturday night. The Smoke got off to a strong start, scoring seven runs in the first two innings, leading 7-1 at one point.
The Rise didn't go out quietly, however. In the bottom half of the third, they began a rally, scoring three runs and loading the bases. The Storm were able to get out of the jam, and from there, both team's pitchers settled down and didn't give up a run for the final four innings.
The Smoke took two out of three in the series. The two teams will meet again next weekend for another series, this time in Atlanta.

Over eight years ago, in March, 2017, I spent an afternoon with Sara and Sofia, my daughters, in Washington, DC and at the Seneca Landing Special Park in Poolesville, Maryland. I recently found a collection of photos and videos I took that day and made a You Tube video out of it with newly composed music.
