    The annual LION (Living in One Neighborhood) Bash on Thursday evening in downtown State College gave residents and Penn State students a chance to get out and enjoy the summer evening with live music, games and other events. The event provides community members the experience of a block party and the opportunity to learn more about local organizations and resources in the State College area.

    Onward State's visuals team was on hand to capture all the fun and excitement throughout the evening on the 100, 200 and 300 blocks of South Allen Street.
