On Saturday, March 24th at 10:30 AM, a memorial will be dedicated at Gifford Pinchot State Park in memory of Alicia Marie Daugherty. Alicia was interning with the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection when she was killed in a vehicle accident on June 3, 2011. The memorial was constructed through the gracious efforts of her supervisor and others in the department where she was working along with friends and family and in collaboration with the Park and DCNR. Located next to Pinchot Lake on the Southern side of the Conewago Day Use Area (near the nature center), the memorial consists of a bench, two serviceberry trees, and a plaque (photo attached) which includes the following quote from Alicia: “We should take a break from our busy lives every once in a while and just look around and enjoy creation.”

Well, we weren’t able to participate in Yorkfest’s Boat Parade this year, but that’s not the only parade in town. That’s right, we have entered Alicia’s Boat in the 2011 Northeastern Halloween Parade!!

The parade, sponsored by the Susquehanna Lions Club, begins at 2PM on Saturday, October 16 and will travel along N George Street between Sunset Drive and the Manchester borough square, and from the square along Maple Street to Mount Wolf Borough Park.

We will have a pirate crew and are looking forward to a great time showing off the boat. Hope to see you there!
