For those seeking something more from the typical career fair taking place in your gloomy school gymnasium, downtown Harrisburg is set to host some 40 employers in 10 different locations for a night that is sure to be a little more mobile and a lot more fun. The final selections have been made on what venues will be hosting 
employers for this year’s Experience Harrisburg Job and Internship Fair: Molly Brannigans Traditional Irish Pub and Restaurant, McGrath’s Pub, the Whitaker Center for Science and the Arts, the Susquehanna Art Museum, Stock’s on 2nd, the Harrisburg Visitors Center, the International House, Temple University Harrisburg, and The Quarter. Don’t forget free pizza and huge prizes at the final venue of the evening – Dragonfly Club.
Participants are lead around the city in small groups by a member of the Harrisburg Young Professionals and provided no more than 15 minutes at each location to network with the employers stationed there before moving to the next destination. Some locations will be providing food to 
snack on, so it’s a great way to check out some sweet venues in downtown Harrisburg, get some free eats, and search for a job or internship. Don’t forget about the prize giveaways either, last year we raffled an iPhone, a GPS system, lots of gift cards, and much more.

The rumors are true! The Harrisburg Stampede are the newest sports team addition to the city, set to begin their inaugural season in 2009. Part of the American Indoor Football Association, the 
Stampede are co-owned by the New Orleans Saints’ Marques Colston, and will play their home games inside the Pennsylvania Farm Show Complex & Expo Center. The AIFA regular season stretches from March to June, with currently 17 teams representing cities from across the commonwealth and the country.
The Harrisburg Stampede have announced they will hold a press conference to introduce the coaching staff and roster on September 23rd, 2008, at 4:30pm inside Strawberry Square in downtown Harrisburg. A team website is also in the works and can be found at: HarrisburgStampede.com. You can show your support by becoming a Stampede fan on 
Harrisburg was recentely ranked by Street & Smith’s Sports Business Journal as the second-best minor league sports market in the country, a sure sign that the Stampede will fit right in to the city’s diverse landscape of sports teams.
If you’re into unique dining experiences, themed feasts, quality beer, or pirates, you need to put a visit to Bube’s Brewery on your to do list. Located in Mount Joy, Pennsylvania, this 19th century brewery 
and museum contains 4 extraordinary restaurants, live events, an unusual store, and an art gallery displaying works from local artists. Bube’s, (interestingly enough pronounced “boo bees”) has a very rustic, vintage atmosphere, as everything has been preserved as it existed years ago.
My experience with Bube’s was in the Catacombs, an incredible restaurant located 43 feet underground in the old stone cellars where enormous wooden 
casks used to be full of aging beer. The atmosphere is beyond unique, as the quiet stone caverns are lighted only by candlelight atop a number of dinner tables. What an experience! Not to mention that the food was great and the service superb. They even provided a free dessert to help us celebrate a
birthday in our dining party. I tried a few of the house brewed beers- an IPA that really threw me off because of it’s unique maltiness and a red ale that was just perfect. My date tried a caramel apple martini that was equally delicious, and the prices for everything on the menu were very reasonable. Both the swordfish and the seafood mornay were wonderful.
All in all, dining in the Catacombs was an experience I will not soon forget, and I am already planning a return visit to try the other dining establishments at Bube’s Brewery. Those include the original bar called Alois, the Bottling Works, and the outdoor Biergarten. Themed dinners also include Murder Mysteries, Roman Feasts, Medieval Feasts, Pirate Feasts, Halloween and Christmas Feasts.
Bube’s is truly a must, try it for a romantic dinner, a fun themed evening, or just for something altogether different.
