Gettysburg Weekend Roundup, September 20 – 22
Published September 20, 2013
Another week has come and gone and now it’s time for the weekend! I know I sound like a broken record when I fawn over how wonderful this cool, crisp weather feels. Rumor has it that some local orchards are already open for pick-your-own apples, too.
Here’s the latest roundup of special events, concerts, art exhibitions and more. If you go to any of these, let me know in the comments how it was! I want to know.
