The Lebanon Valley Mall will be host to the county’s inaugural Mac and Cheese Festival on Saturday, Nov. 4, from 2 to 6 p.m.
Organized by Froggy Valley 100.1 and WLBR 1270, with Lebanon Federal Credit Union as event sponsor, the event promises an afternoon of delicious comfort food, community spirit, and support for a noble cause.
The festival will be heartwarming in more ways than one. Proceeds from the event will go directly to the Homeless Veterans Awareness campaign, shining a light on the struggles faced by homeless veterans and former service members in distress.
