It’s the most wonderful time of the year!

Linda & Steve Weaver, the proprietors of Mount Nittany Winery & Vineyard, are grateful for a wonderful 2024 and are already making plans for 2025. Mount Nittany Winery will add two new dry wines - a dry Riesling and a Cuvée Blanc (Sauvignon Blanc aged in oak barrels) and continue Bingo with Beth, which will be offered monthly on a Friday night. Other plans include monthly wine and food-tasting events and a trivia night with a professional MC.

But there is still much to do at the vineyard this December.

Philipsburg's Mid-Century Christmas event will kick off on Saturday, December 14 at 10 a.m. as merchants open their shops to celebrate the holidays in style. The rest of the day is chock full of special appearances by such seasonal luminaries as the Grinch, Rudy, and Rudolph, and yes, the Jolly Old Elf himself, who will be paraded down Front St. in a 1951 International Harvester firetruck. There will also be special musical performances, wreath and window-decorating contests, vintage cars parked along the street (bring yours if you have one!), a showing of It's a Wonderful Life at the majestic Rowland Theatre, a tree-lighting ceremony, and a mid-century-themed bash with live music by Elvis (you can't get much more mid-century than the King!) at Dead Canary Brewing to cap off the festive day.
