EMMITSBURG,
Md. – Emmitsburg residents can make a New Year’s
resolution to experience a variety of live entertainment and
it won’t cost you anything but a few cans of food.
The
Town of Emmitsburg and Mount St. Mary’s University
are partnering to offer residents free admission to concerts,
comedy shows, magic shows and speakers in the first three
months of 2008.
“This
is a really great opportunity (for Mount St. Mary’s)
to interact with Emmitsburg a little more,” said Brooke
Donovan, assistant director of campus activities at the
Mount. “A lot of times colleges are segregated from
their towns.”
The
program offers two shows each in January, February and March.
All of the shows will be in the Knott Auditorium and admission
for town residents will be a non-perishable food item.
