The Theodore Burr Covered Bridge Society of PA, Inc. will sponsor a cleanup day at Sauck's Covered Bridge, PA-01-01, near Gettysburg in Adams County on Saturday, May 10, 2008 at 10:00 AM.

We will gather at the bridge and will pickup litter and trash, paint the portals of the bridge, and clean graffiti of the bridge interior. Please bring gloves, rakes, push brooms, pruners, and lots of energy.

This is a great way to begin "See Pennsylvania's Covered Bridges Week" which begins May 10th and continues through Sunday, May 18th.

Hope to see you there!
