Local events

We mistakenly forgot to mention Pippenfest in Fairfield this weekend in our blog post earlier this week.  Please add that to the list of upcoming events and stop by and support local vendors.  The following two weekends feature the National Apple Harvest Festival at the South Mountain Fairgrounds in Arendtsville.  The Breast Cancer Awareness 5K is at the YWCA Gettysburg/Adams County on Saturday, October 13.  Good luck to all the local high school football teams in action this weekend.  Enjoy the beautiful fall weather. 

Have a great weekend!

End of September

Summer was here and gone and we've moved on to fall here in Adams County.  The leaves are beginning to change, local fruits and vegetables are being harvested, and there is a slight chill to the air most mornings lately.  What a great time of year!

A few upcoming events to note.  The National Apple Harvest Festival will be at the South Mountain Fairgrounds the first two weekends in October.  The YWCA will be hosting a 5K run on Saturday, October 13, 2012, in Gettysburg.  Halloween festivities will be in full swing before you know it!

Fall is a great time of year to update things at your home as well.  Make sure the batteries in your smoke detector are functioning properly.  Does your furnace filter need replaced?  Has your chimney been cleaned?  Please take the time to do some routine checks on the safety of your home for you and all your other residents and guests.

Have a great day!
