Special Guests
Submitted by dlseneca on Sun, 2011-01-23 19:05
We had a number of special guests at our camp including: Betsy Ross, George Washington, Benjamin Franklin, John Hancock, Samuel Adams, Paul Revere, Thomas Jefferson, James Madison, John Adams, and George Whitefield. They were all volunteers and made the last day of camp very special for everyone. This group included a State Senator, the Paxtang Police Chief, a Paxtang Borough Council Member, and 2 Borough residents. All but Betsy Ross were Freemasons from the Central PA area. We were also fortunate to have a US Army soldier and a US Air Force airman visit camp.
