Greetings,
We are gearing up for another spectacular New Year's Celebration, and you are all invited! We will be playing and partying on Thursday night, December 31st, from about 6pm until some time after midnight.
We will provide the games, hot & cold beverages, plates, utensils, napkins, cups, Champagne and sparkling cider. You bring your family, friends, a potluck dish, other beverages of your choosing and a sense of fun & adventure! If I can find the right murder mystery for the evening, we will be looking for suspects as well as an inspector to "direct" the action. Last year we had two young teens perform as suspects and a great deal of fun was had by all!
If you want to be part of the fun, RSVP as soon as possible. Our space is limited, so we can only accommodate the first 20-30 people who want in. Families are welcome and children under the age of 18 should be accompanied by an adult. Please call for more details.
Happy Holidays,
Tony Vigil

The Historic Capitol Theater, 159 South Main Street, Chambersburg will return to the 50’s and 60’s with the fabulous sounds of Rock and Roll Hall of Fame performers, The Duprees and Charlie Thomas’ Drifters on Saturday, December 12, 2009. The Rotary Club of Chambersburg, with its Platinum Sponsor, Patriot Federal Credit Union, will host its inaugural Doo Wop Show at the historic theatre. There will be a matinee show at 4:00 PM, and an evening show at 8:00 PM. The proceeds will support the Rotary scholarship program that awards over $14,000 in college and technical scholarships to local students each year, a Student Dictionary project that provides a dictionary to every 3rd grade student in the Chambersburg Area School District, and other Rotary sponsored projects that provide grants to local non-profit groups.
The Duprees are known the world over for their romantic interpretations of some of the most beautiful love songs ever written. Starting out in the early sixties in Jersey City, New Jersey, the Duprees recorded Jo Stafford’s 1950’s ballad “You Belong To Me.” It was an instant national hit and the first million seller for the group. Other hits were “My Own True Love,” “Why Don’t You Believe Me,” and “Have You Heard.”
The Drifters, a long-lived African-American Doo Wop/R & B vocal group with a peak in popularity from 1953 to 1962 will feature Charlie Thomas performing many of the group’s top 20 charted hits like “Under The Boardwalk,” “Up On The Roof,” “Save The Last Dance For Me,” and “This Magic Moment.”
Reserved seating is available at $40, $37, and $33. A $2.00 service fee is applied. Tickets are available through the Capitol Theatre Box office, Tuesday through Friday, 11 AM to 3 PM through Labor Day. After Labor Day, the box office will be open Monday through Friday 11 AM to 5:30 PM. Call the Capitol Theatre Box Office at 717-263-0202 today for the best seats available.
Ever want to rub elbows with the artists? An 8 pm post show reception with the artists will follow in the Wood Center of the theatre. Tickets are required for the reception, and may be purchased at $20 through the Capitol Box office when purchasing tickets for the show.

Neverland Games is organizing a night of traditional Christmas caroling on Main Street, December 12, 2009 from approximately 4pm - 9pm. We are looking for caroling groups to move along Main Street, stop in front of participating storefront locations and sing Christmas carols, then move to the next location. I will be asking other local businesses to stay open late that evening and hold holiday open houses. A caroling trip along Main Street, should take about 1-2 hours depending on the number of stops a group makes.
If you are a member of a caroling group (i.e. church choir, high school choral group, scout troop, etc) - or just want to volunteer your voice and join a few other merry carolers, you are cordially invited to take part. Either way, I would like to get RSVPs from groups and individuals as soon as possible so we can plan for our caroler reception at Neverland Games. Our back room will be available & open to the public to come out of the cold, get warmed up, enjoy some hot cider, coffee or cocoa and share some baked goodies. Let me know which hourly time slots you would like to sing and how many people in your party.
Ideally, I would like to have 6 to 8 groups spread out through the evening. I look forward to hearing from you!
Peace,
Tony Vigil

Does the thought of Black Friday shopping crowds make you want to go into hibernation? Do the traffic jams near the malls get unbearable? Dozens of “wild” holiday gifts for that hunter, trapper or wildlife fan on your list are just a click away at “The Outdoor Shop” on the Pennsylvania Game Commission’s website (www.pgc.state.pa.us).
All revenues generated from these items support the Game Commission’s wildlife management programs. Created in 1895 to restore Pennsylvania’s wildlife, the Game Commission is responsible for managing all wild birds and mammals, as well as the 1.4 million acres of State Game Lands it has purchased over the years with hunting and furtaking license dollars to safeguard wildlife habitat. The Game Commission does not receive any general state tax dollars.

from Jerry Feaser, Pa Game Commission
COUNTDOWN TO DEER SEASON HAS BEGUN
The state’s biggest draw for hunters is set to begin the Monday after Thanksgiving, according to Pennsylvania Game Commission Executive Director Carl G. Roe, when the two-week firearms deer season opens.
LOCAL WHITE-TAILED DEER INFORMATION AVAILABLE ON-LINE
Interested in learning more about what's going on with whitetails in your county? Please consider visiting the Pennsylvania Game Commission’s “Field Officer Forecasts” found on the agency’s website (www.pgc.state.pa.us). These reports were developed to share field officer perspectives and observations on game and furbearer trends in their respective districts and to help hunters and trappers get closer to the action afield.
DON'T FORGET TO REPORT DEER HARVEST
The Pennsylvania Game Commission counts on hunters to provide information on the deer they harvest. And, to make reporting a deer harvest easier, the Game Commission reminds hunters that they can now file their harvest reports through the agency’s new online system.
HUNTERS REMINDED THAT LICENSES STILL MUST BE DISPLAYED
The omission of a regulation that has been in place for decades in this year’s digest has caused some hunters and trappers to wonder whether they still are required to display their licenses in the middle of the back as has been done for many, many years. Pennsylvania Game Commission Executive Director Carl G. Roe answered, “Yes, it still needs to be displayed.”
