WHEN: Friday, March 17, 10 a.m.
WHERE: The ceremony location will be the East Penn Manufacturing campus at a tent set up on the company’s baseball field. The entrance to the field is near the intersection of W. State Avenue and Deka Road. There will be photo opportunities after the ceremony at the Deka billboard near the ballfield.
