***Kudos to Kuzo***

Mount Gretna Magazine would like to join the many who are celebrating Jennifer Kuzo and all she has given to Lebanon County during her eight years at the helm of Visit Lebanon Valley.

As we prepared to launch the magazine, Jennifer provided advice to our staff and helped us to make connections. Her creativity and enthusiasm inspired us! She also made sure that Visit Lebanon Valley joined our ranks as an advertiser, first within our Sounds of Gretna series and then as a regular participant in each issue.

Thank you, Jennifer, for your leadership, your skills, your passion, and your presence. Enjoy retirement and time with loved ones.

Jen Kuzo retires after eight years as president & CEO of Visit Lebanon Valley.

WINTER ISSUE COMING SOON (Mid-January)
** Support Local Storytelling This Season **

Thanks to you, we were able to take the leap and bring Mount Gretna Magazine to life. And thanks to your support, we have also funded our next issue—with story planning underway for all of 2026.

Our mission remains the same: to build community through connection and inspiration, one story at a time. Your contributions have helped us begin to create a financial cushion for future issues. But running a magazine means always thinking ahead—both in editorial vision and in the funding to sustain it.

Our goal is to raise an additional $5,000 between now and the end of 2025 to continue producing high-quality issues, increase our print run for peak season, and maintain healthy reserves.

If you’re in a position to give—either with a year-end gift or a commitment for the year ahead—we’d be honored to have your support. If you’d like to chat—or introduce us to friends who may want to support the magazine—please reach out.

Happy Saturday, Gretna friends!

The Fall issue of Mount Gretna Magazine has been out for two weeks—we hope you’re enjoying it!

This season’s Spot the Gretna Cousin is a fun challenge for all ages. Each issue, we feature twelve photos—eleven from Mount Gretna and one from a “cousin” location that looks like it could be here.

🍂 This issue’s theme: Cottage Signs.
Gretna is full of one-of-a-kind charm, but even unique places have cousins. One of these signs isn’t from here… can you tell which?

🕵️‍♀️ How to Play:
1️⃣ Study the page below.
2️⃣ Guess which photo is our out-of-town cousin.
3️⃣ Submit your answer via the contact form at MountGretnaMagazine.org

The correct answer—and the name of the first person to spot it—will be revealed on our Stories blog in late October. Be sure to subscribe while you’re there so you don’t miss the reveal!
