Here's a look at some exciting events happening in the coming days in Reading and beyond.
The weekend is here and there are plenty of things to do in Reading and the surrounding area in the upcoming days.

There are plenty of places to watch the game locally, including Scoreboard Bar & Grill, which offers $1 franks during the game and $10 burger a beer deals if you wear your Red Sox gear.
Yard Sale: A family at 208 Grove Street is holding a Saturday morning yard sale beginning at 10 a.m. with furniture and "no junk."
Boat Sale: In Wilmington at Shriners Auditorium the boat expo and sale runs on Saturday from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. and Sunday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. The event is for residents looking to make a purchase, or just look around. Admission and parking are free.
