It's Thursday. The sun is shining. The temperatures are balmy. The afternoon might just be the perfect time to kick back and enjoy an ice-cold beverage or two. And speaking of beverages...
1. If you happen to be tuning into WLVR around 3:44 p.m. today, you'll hear the WLVR Flight Club team, Christine Dempsey and Devan Kortan, talk craft brewing and test out a flight. It just so happens today is also National American Beer Day. We're sure Devan and Christine will raise a glass to that!
2. Speaking of National Days, it's also National Civics Day! With less than two weeks to the midterm elections, check out our Voters Guide and join us for an event next week. Flight Club & LehighValleyNews.com will host "Pints & Politics" at Sherman Street Beer Co. on Tuesday, Nov. 1.
Save the date! On Nov. 1st from 6:30-8 p.m. @WLVRNews Flight Club & @LVNewsdotcom present, “Pints and Politics” at Sherman Street Beer Co. Grab a brew and learn some valuable insights on the PA #elections from the news team. Register here: https://t.co/hE4Se7JXu6 pic.twitter.com/nsJElDScBf

3. There's no lack of political stories as the election is approaching. Our politics reporter Tom Shortell has an upcoming story on Nikki Haley, a potential GOP presidential candidate who backs Lisa Scheller in the race for PA's 7th District. Stay tuned!
4. As the Phillies are on their way to the World Series, the situation for the IronPigs is not as pleasant. Allentown City Council last night decided to invest $0 in Coca-Cola Park's upgrades, which require $9.5 million in total. Read the report by Hayden Mitman to learn how it may affect the IronPigs' future.
5. The weekend (and Halloween) is coming. Our digital news desk has handpicked a few events such as Screamin' Green Hauntoween for you to enjoy in the Lehigh Valley this weekend. Check out the piece when it's out later this morning!
The normal author of 5 Things will be back in a few days. Here's a quote she left us to share:
“My life is like a stroll upon the beach, as near to the ocean’s edge as I can go.”Henry David Thoreau
