It will not be just an eventful weekend in Greater Cincinnati, but also in West Chester and Liberty Township. From touring the National Voice of America Museum of Broadcasting to celebrating the fall season at EnterTRAINment Junction or at Niederman Family Farm there is plenty to do close to home.
Friday
Friday night lights – Lakota West will be playing in its biggest game in recent memory when it plays at Colerain at 7:30 p.m. Both teams enter the game unbeaten and the winner will be in sole possession of first place in the Greater Miami Conference. Meanwhile, Lakota East will try to get back to its winning ways when it hosts Fairfield at 7:30 p.m.
Liberty Twp. firefighters’ fish fry – An all-you-can-eat fish fry will benefit the Liberty Township Firefighter’s Association this Friday. It runs from 5 to 8:30 p.m. at the Lakota East Freshman Campus, 7630 Bethany Lane in Liberty Township. Besides fish, diners can opt for a four-piece chicken dinner. Both entrees come with fries, coleslaw, hush puppies and drinks.
Treats on the Streets Fall Fest – Families can celebrate Halloween a little early this Friday from 6 to 9 p.m. at the Streets of West Chester. Fall Fest will feature a costume contest, prizes, trick-or-treat bag decorating, a magician, cup cake decorating, pumpkin decorating, a princess station and costumed characters.
Saturday
Tour the National VOA Museum – With the recent completion of some significant construction work, the National Voice of America Museum of Broadcasting re-opened for tours in July and will provide another opportunity for the public to tour the West Chester landmark this Saturday from 1 to 4 p.m. Those unfamiliar with the museum will be surprised to learn how much history is in West Chester.
After two years of being shutdown to the public, the National Voice of America Museum of Broadcasting in West Chester opened its doors to the public for a few weekend tours in late 2011. After renovations were completed in July, the museum is now planning to be open on the third Saturday of every month for the time being. Photo by Tony Jones.
