If you love Santa - or at least like him - then you can meet the old chap at Gettysburg Hotel on November 29. The hotel will host Santa for the fifth straight year starting at 7:30 a.m. and going to 11:30 on November 29 of this year. For a small donation parents can have [...]

I saw the story online in the Cumberland County Sentinel. The National Apple Harvest Festival, which takes place in Arendtsville Pennsylvania every year, saw a great turnout this past weekend and people were spending money. It seems they aren’t that worried about the economic downturn at all.
