Been getting a ton of "Is WingFest going to be cancelled because of all the rain?" questions this morning and we just wanted to share tonight's forecast for Boalsburg from the crew at AccuWeather . Right now, we are looking at maybe a tenth of an inch of rain at 6pm and then dry skies after that for all the wings and music goodness.

So pack up your raingear and muckboots it if you feel so inclined, but we are still planning on a great night of WingFest! Gates open at 5:30pm, rain or shine. SEVEN competitors will be posted up trying to earn your vote. Katz 22 will go on stage by 5:45pm and Draw The Line - the only officially endorsed tribute to Aerosmith - takes the stage by 8:15pm. Tickets are just $10 (age 18+), $5 (age 7-17) and free for ages 6 and under.
