Thank you to everyone who voted in our first annual The Sickles award. With 25.5% of the total # of votes cast (remember, everyone had three), the construction of the Comfort Suites Hotel on South Cemetery Hill was our winner.
We’d also like to start a new award for the good things going on related to Gettysburg. But who (or what) should we name it after? Let us know by sending us an email with your choice of name for the award.
