In September Doug & I went to Beaver Springs, Pennsylvania to stay with Heather, Brad, Scott, Cody, and Cheyenne.
Heather wanted us to come in September instead of Christmas time to go to the Bean Soup Celebration in McClure. It is a celebration of a 
reunion of Civil War Veterans, first held in 1891. They have bean soup cooked in open kettles, a carnival, musical performances, civil war re-enactment, fireworks, etc. About 75 thousand people attend - according to more than one web site and McClure is a tiny town.
