SHILLINGTON, Pa. — For Wilson and Governor Mifflin, this is more than the first game of the season; it’s a fun rivalry.
“We love supporting the local school, and it’ll bring in a ton of business for us before and after the game,” said Miranda Beatty, bartender at Liberty Ale House.
That’s where the impact of Friday night football stretches beyond the field.
At Liberty Ale House, Miranda Beatty is getting ready for fans on both sides.
“Friday happy hour here is great. Yeah, we have a bunch of good specials,” Beatty said.
Other businesses are getting into it too, offering a discount to anyone wearing Wilson or Governor Mifflin gear.
It’s team spirit that can also mean more customers, more meals, and more money spent locally.
“Just running our great deals on our food and drink specials before from four to six and after from nine to eleven,” Beatty said.
At Liberty Ale House, they’re ready for whatever the game brings through the door.
“Oh yeah, for sure. It’ll be fun,” Beatty said.
