By Greg Williams 4 min read

Looking for something different to do this weekend? There's nothing more important than being prepared for an emergency. Check out a class for kids as well as other events around the Juniata Valley:

Emergency preparedness class for kids

Emergencies happen, no matter how hard we try to prevent them. Sign up for a free Emergency Preparedness Class for Kids, sponsored by Helping Hands of Juniata County, to make certain they are prepared and know how to help. This class - geared for ages 8 to 16 - is scheduled for 9:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday at the Port Royal Community Building, 212 Fourth St., Port Royal. The class includes talking with a 911 dispatcher; learning basic CPR and first-aid skills; common tools used on an ambulance and fire safety demonstrations; and learning to recognize and handle dangerous situations or people. Pre-registration is preferred. Text or call (717) 953-6212.

Live entertainment

Stone Arch Players

present "The Sweet Delilah Swim Club": The Stone Arch Players' hilarious and touching comedy, "The Sweet Delilah Swim Club," opens Friday at the Theatre in the Park at Kishacoquillas Park in Lewistown. Five Southern women, whose friendships began many years ago on their college swim team, set aside a long weekend every August to recharge those relationships. Free from husbands, kids and jobs, they meet at the same beach cottage, the "Sweet Delilah" on North Carolina's Outer Banks to catch up, laugh and meddle in each other's affairs. The Sweet Delilah Swim Club focuses on four of those weekends and spans a period of 33 years.
