It was the Community School Night Out event.

Erie Insurance partnered with the museum to create the event, as part of the Community School Initiative created by the United Way.
And while the educational aspects of the night were on hand, organizers said the reason for the night out was maybe more important.

'It really is just an opportunity for families to gather, to build memories and to play and have fun together,' said Jenny Geertson, director of community outreach at Erie Insurance.
Monday's event was funded in part through a state of Pennsylvania tax credit program through the Department of Community Economic Development.

Toby Keith's Music Surges On The Billboard Charts
Toby Keith's 35 Biggest Hits climbs again on Billboard charts, jumping to No. 12 on Top Country ... More Albums and No. 54 on the Billboard 200. NORMAN, OK - JULY 06: Musician Toby Keith performs during the Oklahoma Twister Relief Concert to benefit United Way of Central Oklahoma May Tornadoes Relief Fund at Gaylord Family Oklahoma Memorial Stadium on July 6, 2013 in Norman, Oklahoma. To donate go to or text REBUILD to 52000. (Photo byfor Shock Ink) In the nearly year and a half since Toby Keith passed away, the country superstar has maintained a steady presence on the Billboard charts. He lives on through his work, with countless fans across the United States continuing to buy and stream the music he left behind. Much of that attention has centered around one compilation that gathers many of his most popular tunes, 35 Biggest Hits. That project is once again climbing the rankings in the country superstar's home nation. This frame, 35 Biggest Hits appears on two charts in the U.S., and it surges on both as consumption grows. On the Top Country Albums chart, the compilation nearly reenters the top 10, jumping from No. 21 to No. 12. At the same time, 35 Biggest Hits nearly halves its position on the Billboard 200 — which takes into account all genres — soaring from No. 103 to No. 54. According to Luminate, in the past tracking period across America, 35 Biggest Hits shifted just over 14,500 equivalent album units, between sales and streaming activity. That's up more than 21% from the previous frame, when it moved just 12,000. A gain of nearly 2,500 units – even when spread between actual purchases and streaming activity – for any title is notable, and especially so when it's a set that's already been out in the world for well over a decade. The compilation, which features dozens of Keith's most beloved tracks, has already reached No. 1 on both Billboard rankings it currently inhabits. It only climbed to the top spot on the Billboard 200 following Keith's passing, as Americans rushed to revisit his music and celebrate his legacy. In doing so, fans made Keith one of a select few artists to earn a posthumous chart-topper on that tally. Several recent events have reignited interest in Keith's catalog. Country musician Riley Green's cover of 'Should've Been a Cowboy" has gone slightly viral, and it continues to rack up views, reminding people of how much they love Keith's song. A horse once owned by Keith also raced in this year's Kentucky Derby, and it made headlines only due to the musician's popularity. Blake Shelton recently revealed while promoting his new album that he originally recorded 'I Wanna Talk About Me' but never released it. Ultimately, the tune became a smash for the late country great.

Fundraising efforts continue for Lapu Lapu festival victims one month after attack
VANCOUVER - Efforts to raise money to support the victims of the attack on Vancouver's Lapu Lapu Day festival are still underway one month after the vehicle ramming that killed 11 and injured dozens more. Multiple fundraisers were held this weekend to support the families of those killed in the attack and those who were hurt. In New Westminster, B.C., on Sunday, 'Soup Nazi' actor Larry Thomas, best known for his role as a strict soup seller on the sitcom 'Seinfeld,' served soup as part of a fundraiser at the Greens And Beans Deli. A three-kilometre run was held earlier that day at the Toronto Zoo to raise money for United Way's Kapwa Strong Fund, which offers grants to not-for-profit organizations supporting those affected by the attack. And a tribute concert took place on Saturday in Surrey, B.C., hosted by the local Philippine Independence Day Society, which issued a statement saying nine Surrey families were impacted by the tragedy. The annual festival had just finished on the evening of April 26 when an SUV rammed through the crowd, causing what has been called the 'darkest day' in the city's history. Adam Kai-Ji Lo faces eight counts of second-degree murder and further charges are anticipated. This report by The Canadian Press was first published May 26, 2025
