Good morning, Erie.

Erie-area farmers markets offer fresh seasonal produce before fall's chill.

Erie’s Pay-What-You-Can events run through early October; the LEAF Open Market is on Sept. 19 at Frontier Park, Little Italy runs Mondays until Sept. 28, and Meadville Market House operates until Oct. 25 (check with each market for details).

The Lake Erie Literary Festival moved to a popular shaded park and featured authors, live music, and books that captivated local readers.

Weis Library, funded by John Weis’s bequest, served as a community center from 1896 until its closure in 1964 due to rising costs and a fading donor vision + the historic building later became a private residence.

Colton Cassel — an Edinboro graduate — and former Penn State runner Danielle Scida won their debuts at the Erie Marathon at Presque Isle on Sunday, Sept.

13. Cassel completed the 26.2-mile course in 2:35:08 while Scida finished in 2:56:37 after returning to racing.
