Heck, there’s even a Goose Day photo shoot and for football die-hards … Penn State football. (The Nittany Lions host Florida International at noon Saturday at Beaver Stadium.)

Piggy Plop Bingo arrives at the 171st Annual Juniata County Fair on Friday at noon in the Empire Kosher Barn at the Juniata County Fairgrounds in Port Royal. It’s a fun, messy and hilarious fundraiser for the Turbett Grange, Barn Committee and local youth organizations that empower

tomorrow’s leaders.

Friday’s slate also includes a kids’ painting party in the barn, while the live entertainment on the Free Stage includes Juniata County’s Got Talent and the Ryan Carter Band. For auto racing aficionados there’s also the Night Before the 50 feature at Port Royal Speedway.

There’s plenty to do this weekend, so check out these things:
