First Friday Cookie Walk
December 2, 2016 from 5:00-7:00pm
Treat yourself to Santa’s favorite treat, Cookies and Milk, in One Lincoln on December 2nd from 5:00-7:00pm. Don’t let the name fool you though. This is a little stronger than what Santa is used to. Cookies and Milk is our featured beverage on First Friday’s Cookie Walk. The $7 dink consists of vodka, Kahlua and Bailey’s Half & Half. The appetizer featured that night is our Blackened Salmon Risotto with Granola Crunch, only $5. If you enjoy the Cookies and Cream, be sure to come back throughout December because we are featuring that beverage all month. After visiting us in One Lincoln, don’t forget to stop by the front desk and enjoy a Christmas cookie. Then, join the “Cookie Walk” and sample other holiday treats at participating vendors.
Breakfast with Santa

Don’t forget to join us bright and early on December 3rd as we welcome Santa to the Gettysburg Hotel for our 13th Annual Breakfast with Santa! Tickets are $5 per person at the door. Kids under 3 eat free! Mrs. Claus will be joining him, as well as his most trusted reindeer, Rudolph. Get your picture taken with Santa while you’re here and be sure to bring him your Christmas wish list! The photo is included with admission and will be sent to your mom or dad. We look forward to seeing you there!
Greens Wreath Class
December 3, 2016 from 1:00-3:00pm
The Greens Wreath Class at the Adams County Winery Farm location is back by popular demand. They have once again partnered with Ashcombes Farm and Greenhouse to bring you a beautiful selection of fresh assorted greens with which you’ll make a stunning wreath to adorn your entryway. If you’re intimidated by the idea of making your own wreath, cast those concerns aside. Andrea Bitzel, with Ashcombes Fram and Greenhouse, will be there to instruct you every step of the way. Adams County Winery will be featuring a selection of their most popular wines that afternoon and you’ll have the opportunity to sample a glass, included in your package. Guests under 21 are more than welcome.
The class is $45 per person and reservations are required. Call to reserve your seat today. (717)334-4631
Olde Getty Place Christmas Parade
December 3, 2016 at 7:00pm
The 2016 Olde Getty Place Christmas Parade is coming to town. Bring your mittens, a thermos of cocoa and a comfy seat and join us as we enjoy seven floats, baton twirlers, musicians, youth groups, local radio stations, a live nativity and much more. Mayor and Mrs. Streeter will be there to help you usher in the holiday season. And this year, it is Gettysburg’s honor and pleasure to welcome the United States Army Old Guard Fife and Drum Corps to our small town to lead the parade! And what Christmas Parade would be complete without an appearance by Santa Claus himself, escorted by the Gettysburg Fire Department!
