The Lincoln Highway Heritage Corridor’s 3rd annual An Affair with Lincoln gala will be held at the Fred Rogers Center of Saint Vincent College, Latrobe on Saturday, November 12 at 6 p.m.. A portion of the revenue from this event will help with establishment of the Lincoln Highway Experience museum. A ride on the historic Lincoln Highway is more than just a way to get from Point A to Point B. It’s an experience!
The experience theme will be evident throughout the special event, beginning with Pittsburgh’s renowned seven-person a cappella ensemble, In Acchord, who will be entertaining guests with contemporary and classic pop tunes. Since Silent Auction Baskets are so yesterday, bidding will be directed to Lincoln Highway experiences, many of which are priceless, as well as fine art and old world crafts. A sampling: Don’t just be among the 10,000 who watch the Fort Ligonier Days Parade, bid to have someone special IN the 2012 Parade; or an opportunity to take a personal tour of the Westmoreland County Court House. For the brave foursome, there’s a paranormal investigation of the oldest structures at Seton Hill University (dark clothing and no bling required). The Laurel Highlands has some of the best fly fishing in Pennsylvania. No matter the skill level, the lucky bidder is sure to get better after his/her 3-hour private fly-fishing lesson (with streamside catered lunch). Or, don a cleric collar and experience the drama of being part of the all male version of the theatre production of Nunsense. Want to get up close and personal to see the Pittsburgh Steelers practice next August? The winner of two field passes will. Then, there’s The Ride of Your Life Experience on the Great Allegheny Passage that is full of surprises.
In addition to all the experiential fun, the evening also includes hors d’oeuvres, dinner, and spirits. Tickets are $65 each. To make a reservation, call the Lincoln Highway Heritage Corridor office at 724-238-9030, or go online at
