Did the whole town come out for the 150th Anniversary Celebration in York Springs, PA? It seems like it!

Everyone was having a great time. I saw lots of families, some fun dancing and beautiful happy faces.

If you want to see what is great about America, stop by next time you are traveling through Pennsylvannia.

Thanks to everyone who let me take their picture. Sorry I don’t have all your names…But I appreciate your willingness to talk to a stranger and it was nice to meet you all!

At the end of the evening, I wandered back to my car lit by the full moon with the smell of kettle corn still taunting me and music echoing into the night, soon to be overtaken by crickets looking for love.

Love was definitely in the air. Life is good.
