THE GETTYSBURG FESTIVAL

No Irish celebration would be complete without corned beef and cabbage, Irish soda bread, Irish lamb stew, Dublin Coddle, and a few pints of Irish styled brews. If you happen to be in Gettysburg today, you will have captured the good luck of the Irish. Stop off at the Appalachian Brewing Company and help the locals celebrate Irish Fest 2009.

This summer I will be lending a hand in Gettysburg in a slightly different kind of celebration. The Gettysburg Festival takes place June 18 through the 28. The festival is a distinct cultural arts event that celebrates America through music, theater, art, dance, and culinary events. The American Bus Association has dubbed it "One of the top 100 events in North America for 2009." I look forward to seeing you there.
