FOUR SENSES DINING EXPERIENCE

Vision Resources of Central Pennsylvania is inviting you to, An Evening in the Shadows, Thursday,
November 7th at 6:00 pm, at GreyStone Brew House, Dillsburg.

This will be the 13th annual blindness awareness event, a unique evening that offers participants a simulation of what it is like to dine with only their touch, taste, hearing, and scent to guide them. Guests are assisted as they don comfortable blindfolds, then escorted to their seats, and served a five-course meal, paired with fine wines. Throughout the evening there will also be a “blind” raffle and live entertainment. Attendees have remarked that no other awareness event they have been to has heightened their appreciation and understanding of an impairment or disease as much as, An Evening in the Shadows.

Tickets are $100 each and may be purchased at:
www.vrocp.org

Seating is limited and sales will end October 24, 2024.

Proceeds will support the mission of Vision Resources to provide services for the blind and visually impaired in Cumberland, Dauphin, Franklin and Perry Counties. To learn more visit www.vrocp.org or call Chloe Miller at 717-238-2531. Please join us for this evening of fine dining, thank you!

Who We Are

The Franklin County Free Press, established by Vicky Taylor in 2019, emerged as a beacon of local journalism for the residents of Franklin County. Under Vicky's leadership, it quickly became an essential source of news, particularly at a time when major newspaper publications were increasingly overlooking local coverage.

On January 1, 2022, the torch was passed to Nathan Neil and his firm, Neil Publishing, LLC. Neil, a local entrepreneur with multiple thriving businesses in Chambersburg, shares Vicky's fervent commitment to both the community and the world of local journalism.

Rooted in the heart of Franklin County and powered by its residents, the Franklin County Free Press continues to bridge the gap, ensuring that the local stories, events, and issues that matter most to the community remain in the spotlight.
