Raccoongaine III – Orienteering Scavenger Hunt

March 11, 2012 Lindsay 1 Comment

The Western PA Orienteering Club sent us an email about the upcoming scavenger hunt at Raccoon Creek State Park on March 25.  I know there are quite a of our readers who have participated in previous scavenger hunts, the Urban Hike folks organize one every fall.  This looks like a neat way to check out Raccoon Creek state park and patricipate in a scavenger hunt.  Raccoongaine III is limited to 150 entries – according to the facebook group for the event – 115 have registered thus far so there is still room to enter.

Fight Cancer with Cornhole

August 11, 2011 Lindsay Leave a Comment

We haven’t heard of any cornhole tournaments in awhile.  While the sport certainly has become pretty popular here in Western PA – if you are new to the game.  Cornhole is kind of like horseshoes but played with bean bags instead of heavy metal objects – probably much safer than horseshoes. Gilda’s Club is hosting a Cornhole Tournament on Saturday, August 20, 2011 – spend an afternoon tossing some bean bags, meeting some of the great people from Gilda’s Club and supporting a good cause. Fight Cancer with Cornhole Saturday, August 20, 2011 @ Noon Gilda’s Club, 2816 Smallman St.,… Read the rest

A Big Weekend for the Bicycle in Pittsburgh

May 19, 2011 Lindsay 1 Comment

Even if you don’t have a bike or like to ride a bike (the only bike I have been on in the past 10 years is the spinning bike – I am great at pedaling and going nowhere) – we can all celebrate the community of cyclists… Read the rest
