Good morning everyone!

You’re invited to join the Committee for Huntingdon County America250PA activities!

We will be having our first meeting on Wednesday September 18, 2024 at 6pm at Hoss's in the Military Room that's facing Route 22, Huntingdon.

Anyone interested in participating and plans to come to the meeting please let me know by Thursday September 12th so that I can inform Hoss's if the number is bigger than I have them as an estimate.

You are also welcome to attend even if you aren't ordering (self pay if you do).

If you want to participate and cannot make this meeting please let me know so we can add you to the emails.

The goal would be to have representation from every borough, township, museum and historical society in the county along with any other individuals, organizations or businesses that would like to be a part of it.

If you have any questions please let me know.

Thanks! Hoping to see many of you!
