Thank to our Member who very graciously opened her beautiful venue for us again this year. Her refurbished barn makes a perfect place to set out our covered dish feast, protected for the hot sun and any stray rain cloud. Every member of the Society is always invited to attend and it is a time for all to sit, talk, and eat; strengthening our friendships and our commitment to keep the local history of the Laurel Highlands safe for future generations. It’s a great time of relaxation and getting to know fellow members.</span></span></span></div>
