WaterFire Sharon

By
At Dusk, fifty-five floating "braziers" that house wood and fire, line the sides of the Shenango River in the heart of Sharon, Pa. A "Fire Globe" burned on the State Street Bridge while forty artists held torches over the side of the bridge. The theme for the August 20th production was "Artists At Work". "WaterFire Sharon" is a free event and sponsored by the non profit arts Fund of Community Foundation of Wester, Pa. and Eastern Ohio. The third and last "WaterFire Sharon," for the 2016 Season will catch fire on Saturday Sept. 24th at dusk. View The Gallery >

In Focus: 13 years of camp

By
This is Ben Roethlisberger’s 13th year in often sticky heat at the Steelers training camp at Saint Vincent College. We’re guessing it was easier (at least physically) back in 2004, when he first came to Latrobe as a young man of 22. Of course, he went on the next season to become, at age 23, the youngest quarterback to win a Super Bowl. He has led the Steelers to eight postseason berths, five AFC North championships, three AFC championships. Then, there are those Lombardi trophies — two, since he’s been the quarterback. Now, at age 34, the rigors of training camp take a daily toll as he prepares for the upcoming season. View The Gallery >

Let’s go to the fair

By
From the screams of carnival ride-goers, to the sounds of livestock being prepped for show and the revving of engines during a demolition derby, nothing says summer like the county fair. The Fayette County Fair in Dunbar Township, which started July 28, closes today. View The Gallery >
