Make your plans for Thursday's Altoona Mirror Day and food drive at DelGrosso's Amusement Park. Take a non-perishable food item, and you get an all-day ride and slide pass for $8.95. What a deal! Not only do you get to have fun, but you can held needy families in the area. See the ad on A5.

Still can't believe I'm seeing the Pirates in first place! My dad would have loved seeing his Buccos this season. Blair County Day at PNC Park is Aug. 20. There's an ad on B2 -- $60 will get you a box seat at the game and roundtrip transportation.

If the photo on C1 of the malnourished child in Somalia doesn't move you, I don't know what will.
