SHILLINGTON, Pa. \u2014 For Wilson and Governor Mifflin, this is more than the first game of the season; it’s a fun rivalry.<\/p>\n
“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.<\/p>\n
That’s where the impact of Friday night football stretches beyond the field.<\/p>\n
At Liberty Ale House, Miranda Beatty is getting ready for fans on both sides.<\/p>\n
“Friday happy hour here is great. Yeah, we have a bunch of good specials,” Beatty said.<\/p>\n
Other businesses are getting into it too, offering a discount to anyone wearing Wilson or Governor Mifflin gear.<\/p>\n
It’s team spirit that can also mean more customers, more meals, and more money spent locally.<\/p>\n
“Just running our great deals on our food and drink specials before from four to six and after from nine to eleven,” Beatty said.<\/p>\n
At Liberty Ale House, they’re ready for whatever the game brings through the door.<\/p>\n
“Oh yeah, for sure. It’ll be fun,” Beatty said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"SHILLINGTON, Pa. \u2014 For Wilson and Governor Mifflin, this is more than the first game of the season;…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":274411,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[11],"tags":[349,303,62748,79306,115335,13931,128,130,129,115334,115337,115336,2429],"class_list":["post-274410","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-reading","tag-berks-county","tag-football","tag-governor-mifflin","tag-happy-hour","tag-liberty-ale-house","tag-local-business","tag-reading-city","tag-reading-city-headlines","tag-reading-city-news","tag-rivalry","tag-school-sports","tag-team-spirit","tag-wilson"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/274410","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=274410"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/274410\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/274411"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=274410"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=274410"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=274410"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
