Beaver Stadium was bleeding blue and white Friday night as fans piled in for Football Eve, a celebration to kick off the start of the 2010 football season.

The new restaurant State Platters opened last Friday on E. Beaver Ave. The establishment features reasonably priced New York City platters throughout the night.
