Jerad Bachar grew up on a ranch in central Kansas, though the journey he took to settle in Pittsburgh spans much farther than the four states separating his hometown and where he currently resides.

Pittsburgh is getting its big break! On Thursday, April 24th through Saturday, April 26, the Golden Triangle is hosting the 2026 NFL draft. For those three days, Pittsburgh residents have a lot to look forward to. The weekend is not only a time for teams to select players, but it is also a time to celebrate Pittsburgh’s football legacy.

Anthrocon is making its annual debut in Pittsburgh this weekend, inviting whimsical vibes and characters to the Golden Triangle.
