Get Out: Bark in the Park, Food Fest, Family Fundraiser, 2nd Saturday

It's take two for the events that were postponed last weekend plus a few others.

This weekend is full events due to last weekend's rainy weather postponing a few events. The Annual Media Food Festival, which may be Media's largest event, is Sunday. Fabulous smells will fill the air as vendors offer all types of delicious foods. This year there's an added fundraiser bonus with Media PA Matters Family Fundraiser just down the street from Food Fest. Give your dog a day out and attend the Delco SPCA's Bark in the Park event on Saturday. Does your dog have the best ears or is he the best kisser? Enter into the dog contests.

Check out our best bets below for the activities to hit this weekend and early next week.
