What’s Happening this Weekend

Published August 27, 2010

Although summer doesn’t “offically” end until the first day of fall, which is September 22, we are calling this the last weekend of summer.

So what’s going on in Gettysburg this weekend? Here are some of our suggestions…

Combine beautiful seashells and bevels to create your own Sparkling Sea panel. Students must bring own stained glass tools. Shell and bevels are included. Class is from 9 a.m.-noon and costs $45.
