In case you saw their ad and were planning to attend.

Unfortunately, due to several days worth of heavy rain and the projected forecast for tomorrow, our annual Easter Egg Hunt will be postponed until April 19th.

On another note, this is a great time to remind everyone that if you see flooded streets and roadways, please do not attempt to cross them. Strong currents can be present in just a few inches of water, along with hidden dangers beneath the surface. Remember, Turn Around, Don’t Drown!

NOTICE: If you use the ATM in the Jubilee parking lot in Emmitsburg, please be aware that due to a recent change at PNC, the name of the ATM is now appearing on statements. Unfortunately, the ATM was named "The Catoctin Banner" (Why you would name an ATM after a business we don't know!?! 😁) We've had several people calling to question charges from us, but it is actually withdraws from the PNC ATM.

Feel free to reach out with any questions, but we are working to get this resolved with PNC. Thanks!
