Dianne Walbrecker
All Emmitsburg residents and visitors who attended this year’s Community Heritage Day on Saturday, June 28, were the real winners, from the delicious breakfast at the Vigilant Hose Activities Building on Creamery Way to the last fireworks as they lit up the night sky after a torrential rainfall!
