Winding down the year

Trailheads is taking a little breather this week to digest all those cookies, watch A Christmas Story a few more times, and make a couple of New Year’s resolutions that will be forgotten by February.

Centre Daily Times photos of the Pearl Harbor Remembrance Day tribute at the Pennsylvania Military Museum were featured in a compilation slideshow of December 7 commemoration events around the country. You can view them here (photos 18, 19, and 21).

You can see a slideshow of the Dec. 9 dress rehearsal for the annual Christmas crossing of the Delaware at Washington Crossing Historic Park here thanks to Bucks Local News.

GoErie.com posted photos of the Christmas Tree Ship program at Erie Maritime Museum and Flagship Niagara on Dec. 14. This year's event drew about 1,000 people to see the ship adorned with lights, talk to Santa on board, and enjoy Christmas music and storytelling. You can see the photos here.

The restoration project on the George and Frederick Rapp houses at Old Economy Village received some thoughtful coverage here by Pittsburgh’s Trib Total Media.

Next week we’ll give you the January program preview. Until then, best wishes and warmest regards for a safe and happy new year’s celebration. See you in 2013!
