This Weekend: Go get Active & Alive in Altoona

This weekend, Active & Alive in Altoona is hosting their 2nd annual health and wellness “hobby fair.” It’s actually pretty cool that Altoona has this – a small town, community-wide wellness event. It runs on Sunday from noon to 4pm at the Hobb's Sports Complex (2300 Spooner Ave.). They’ll have lots of food, like grilled chicken and fruit kabobs, and they’ll be giving away prizes like a TREK 7000 bike and a one year gym membership. (It’s all healthy stuff, get it?) Also, the first of four community walks (one for the next four Saturdays) – meet at the 10th Street Park pavilion today at 8:30am. And there’ll be all the normal fair stuff like vendors, activities, and exhibits. Admission is free. Here’s the website.
Side event! Part of the fair is a kickball game on Sunday pitting Volume One against the City of Altoona. Yep, we’re that good. Not really. We’ll be playing Altoona city officials and staff. So come down to the Cinder City Park, on Spooner Ave. at 1pm and witness the kickball fireworks firsthand.
Also on Saturday: a winery’s Fall Fest, a Yu-Gi-Oh tournament, a Rosemary Clooney show, Yeshuapolooza, the 10th Annual Clearwater Beer Festival, a New North String Band show, a Eau Claire Chamber Orchestra show, a performance of Always... Patsy Cline, and a rock triple punch: South Farwell + The Excellent Adventure + The Jim Pullman Band.
And on Sunday: Ellen Mahaffy's photo exhibition, celebrate domestic partnerships with Fair Wisconsin, an NFL grill out bash with the Swing Crew, The "World Famous" Lipizzaner Stallions (2 shows), and showings of Terror From Beneath the Earth.
