Get Out: Football, Pancakes And Goonies

It's all about food, football and film this weekend, folks! Carlino's is hosting a grand re-opening celebration with free samples and live music on Saturday, and the Ardmore Rotary Club is hosting a pancake breakfast to benefit the Merion Fire Company on Sunday. If that's not your thing, check out Harriton's game against Garnet Valley on Friday, or view one of two films showing at Bryn Mawr Film Institute.

As a reminder, First Friday Main Line's Howl-o-Ween takes place next Friday. You can still register your puppy for next week's sure-to-be adorable doggy costume contest here.
