These converted corridors allow riders to easily explore scenic landscapes and connect with historic towns without navigating steep hills or heavy motor traffic. Check out our article in today's Gettysburg Times for some recommendations on local rail trails.

🥕🌽 Fresh food, fun, and community connections made for a wonderful day at the Mobile Market at St. Joe’s in McSherrystown!

More than 100 seniors stopped by to receive their Senior Farmers Market Nutrition Program vouchers from the Adams County Office for Aging, Inc. and shop with local vendors including Hilltop Farm Market , MUDCOLLEGE Farm , and Maggie's Farm Gettysburg .

Thanks to the Adams County Farmers Market's voucher doubling program, participants were able to stretch their dollars even further and take home even more fresh produce and locally grown foods. 🍅🥒

The fun didn’t stop there! Guests enjoyed rounds of Veggie Bingo land had the chance to win gift cards through special raffles.

Thank you to everyone who helped make this event a success and supported healthy eating, local agriculture, and our senior community! ❤️
