I'm getting a handful of hits from this google search:
obama sept 5 wilkes-barre
It's probably nothing but if he is coming to town you heard it here first.
Update: I can't get confirmation of this but Obama will be in PA tomorrow.
Sen. Barack Obama will return to Pennsylvania tomorrow for two days of campaigning. On the same day that John McCain accepts the Republican nomination and gives his speech promising more of the same, Barack Obama will speak at Buchanan Park in Lancaster. The event is free and open to the public. He will outline his plans jump start our economy, provide middle class tax relief and get America moving in the right direction again.
Update 2: The TL is reporting Obama will be in the W-B area on Friday. Details to follow.

Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama is planning to be in Wilkes-Barre Friday, Democratic Party sources said. According to the sources, the Obama campaign is looking for a location, but nothing has been finalized. The sources said Obama campaign staffers toured Offset Paperback in Dallas and A. Rifkin Co., Hanover Township, this week, as possible locations Sen. Obama, of Illinois, and his running mate, Delaware Sen. Joe Biden, are running against the Republican Party team of Arizona Sen. John McCain and Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin. Biden was in Scranton Monday.
Hmmm, I wonder if Gort42 is considered a "Democratic Party Source"!
