Weekend Planner: Another weekend of fall fun across the region
PITTSBURGH (KDKA) - The weekend is here and like we do each and every Friday, we're here to help you with your plans.
We start with the big one - Fort Ligonier Days.
It all gets underway today and it's Westmoreland County's premier fall festival.
It commemorates a key battle of the French and Indian War that happened on October 12, 1758.
It includes battle re-enactments, more than 300 food options, and live entertainment.
The festival begins at 9 a.m. today and wraps up on Sunday evening.
Fort Ligonier Days happen in downtown Ligonier and our very own Ron Smiley will be on hand for all the fun!

Next, we head to McKees Rocks for a fall craft and vendor favor.
That's happening on Saturday from noon until 6 p.m. at the VFW Post 418 on Cartiers Avenue.
There you'll find handmade crafts, sweets and treats, clothing, jewelry, candles, and so much more.
The event benefits the McKees Rocks Police Department's K-9 Fund.
