April 12: A Sweet Day

That and the rest of your Five Things.

The weekend is almost here, folks.

  • Today is National Licorice Day. The only way to celebrate is to eat some, of course.
  • Today is also the anniversary of the beginning of the Civil War as Confederate forces begin firing on Fort Sumter in South Carolina. 
  • Tired of waiting for the Phillies to get untracked, but still hungering for baseball? The William Tennent baseball and softblal teams play at this afternoon at 3:30.
  • Speaking of sports, time is running out to enter our . All you need to do is upload a photo that proves you - or a friend or loved one - are, well, The Greatest Sports Fan. Voting begins Monday. !
  • Our crazy weather pattern continues today with a sunny day and a high in the 60s. We could be hitting the low 80s by the time the weekend is over. The dry conditions combined with wind makes for a fire hazard, so be careful out there.
