A pair of traditional events helped kick off the holidays Thursday: a festival of Fall Family Fun at the Dunham Children's Learning Center and Penn College’s annual free Thanksgiving dinner. Parents and grandparents attended the center's celebration, held each fall in joyful appreciation as the semester draws to an close. A short distance away in the Keystone Dining Room, students enjoyed an employee-served menu that included turkey, filling, gravy, corn, mashed potatoes, beverages and dessert.
