Some may use the Internet. Incredibly, some choose to hide their “little lights” completely.

River Towns’ brochure on the Commemorative Activities surrounding the 150th anniversary of the burning of the bridge, wants to share their information.

The Fourth Friday brochure produced by the Susquehanna Valley Chamber of Commerce is a communication message intended to let folks know about Fourth Friday’s activities.
