The Hershey-Derry Township Historical Society is hosting a dinner Saturday night at the Hersheypark Arena.  Many of us affectionately call it the Old Barn.  “A Night at the Old Barn” will feature keynote speaker Mike “Doc” Emrick.  Look to us for more coverage of this event and the Old Barn starting tomorrow.
