1st Extra Credit!

This weekend in Carlisle the Heritage Center (off of Trindle Road/turn left at the Sheetz) there will be another Washingtonburg event!

Since we are in the middle of the Bill of Rights, this is a great extension into the social and military life during this time period.

The event features an emphasis on colonial times including the French and Indian War, the Revolutionary War and more!

For 20 extra credit go visit during one of the days and point type/write up a one page review of the event.
