WILLIAMSPORT — The Otto Bookstore will host “Steelers Time,” a free community event featuring longtime Pittsburgh Steelers journalist Jim Wexell and local sports enthusiast Mark Mussina, at 11 a.m. on Saturday, Aug. 9, at the store’s downtown location, 107 W. Fourth St.

Wexell, an award-winning author and publisher of “The Steelers Wire,” brings decades of insight to the franchise’s history and current trajectory.

Whether you’re a diehard fan or just football curious, come join us at the Otto Bookstore this coming Saturday.”
