Your Weekly Warm Up - Brought to you by The Main Line Guide

šŸ‘‹Good Morning, Upper Merion! 

Happy Tuesday! If your bracket is still intact, kudos to you! Unlike most of you, I was much more interested in the wrestling madness that took place last weekend. Penn State just clinched their 12th team title in the last 15 years, wrestling just saw itā€™s first 5 time champion (Penn Stateā€™s Carter Starocci) and the upset of the century was pulled off by Oklahoma Stateā€™s heavyweight, Wyatt Hendrickson. Wow!

I know this isnā€™t a sports newsletter so Iā€™ll get to what you came here for. If youā€™re looking for more to do around town or you feel like checking out surrounding community events, head on over to The Main Line Guide. All of the local gems are showcased there daily.

I hope you find something helpful from this issue!

Ciao for now!
