The contest will be held in the Savoy on North Church Street and will feature dinner at 6:30 p.m., followed by a Waynesboro-style version of the popular quiz show. Reservations for dinner must be made by March 14.
Going up against Fleagle this year will be Ruth Gembe and Doug Stine, both experts on Waynesboro history.
Fleagle, a native of Waynesboro, is a former state representative and former Waynesboro mayor. He curently is co-director of Mainstreet Waynesboro, Inc.
Gembe, a former librarian at the Alexander Hamilton Memorial Library, worked closely with Bob Ringer and Carl Besore, whose research about local history was assembled in three books and who were known for their weekly column in The Record Herald.
Stine is fresh from his research into the history of downtown buildings, research done for the soon-to-be-published downtown Waynesboro walking tour brochure.
The buffet-style dinner, which costs $15 per person, will feature pan-fried chicken, meatballs, scalloped potatoes, green beans, marinated vegetable pasta salad, fruit salad, rolls and butter, ice tea, lemonade and coffee and ice cream cup.
Fleagle was crowned the champion in last year's Waynesboro Jeopardy! contest, when he faced challengers Ed Miller and Charlie Kauffman. Rick Rock will fill in for Alex Trebek this year.
To make dinner reservations, call the Oller House, the historical society's headquarters, at 762-1747 and leave a name, phone number and number of people expected to attend.
Checks for the dinner may be made payable to the Waynesboro Historical Society and mailed to 138 W. Main St., Waynesboro, Pa. 17268. Be sure to note on the check that it's for the "Jeopardy!" fund-raiser.

Second Annual Mountaintop Community Spring Fair
A great way to melt away the winter blues and say "Welcome Spring" is to visit the second annual Mountaintop Community Spring Fair. This year's event will be held Saturday, March 20, 2010, at the Blue Ridge Volunteer Fire and Rescue Co., 13063 Monterey Lane, Blue Ridge Summit PA. The fun and activities begin at 9 a.m. and run until 3 p.m. There is no admission charge.
This event was begun last March to benefit the Amanda Bowders Memorial Community Garden. Amanda, who was 18 when the tragedy occurred, was a bright, outgoing, community-minded young woman who was killed in a sledding accident at Hooverville School on February 14th, 2007. She was in line to receive her Girl Scout Gold Award, the highest order of achievement which can be earned. All proceeds will be used to continue the development of this public facility.
This year's attractions are sure to please, and include the Trego Mountain Sanctuary from Keedysville, MD. This wildlife sanctuary will be bringing some of their rescued animals for display and loads of useful information about our local wildlife.
Other participants include local artists Kathy Renninger and Carol Smith, potter Valerie Parsons and Pastor Bill Hammann who does the age-old German art of scherenschnitte, The Gettysburg Holistic Center, Olszewski's Gemstones & Fossils, just to name a few.
There will be over 15 other vendors displaying and selling their business related products, along with local organizations representing One Mountain Foundation and the Happels Meadow Committee. Great food will be provided by the Sons of the American Legion and several church bake sales.
The popular Collectibles Road Show will again take place, with several appraisers available to inspect your "treasures from the attic" and give you an estimated value. Cost is $5 per item with a limit of 3 each time. The rarity as well as the quantity and quality of the "treasures" brought in has been amazing.
Included this year, also, will be a liturgical dance by Girl Scout Troop 80882 at 1:30 p.m. The theme will be the Rites of Spring.
New this year will be an auction to be held from 2 to 3 pm, with a variety of donated items, including antiques & collectibles, services and new items to bid on. If you have an item to donate or need additional information about this year's event, please contact Lynn or Duke Martin at (717) 642-5645 or Kevin Kipe at (301) 241-4863. |

Robert Morrow Reception
The Waynesboro Historical Society will honor noted Waynesboro artist Robert Morrow with a display in March and a reception from 2 to 4 p.m. Sunday, March 21, in the Oller House at 138 W. Main St.
A native of Waynesboro, the artist has celebrated through his art more than 30 local landmarks, combining technical knowledge of his medium with an inner compulsion to re-create the beloved landmarks he has either grown up with or learned to love later in his life.
A graduate of the Art Institute of Pittsburgh and the Artist's School of Illustration, he was an artist and photographer for Landis Tool Co. from 1948 to 1962. He and his wife, Connie, operated Robert Morrow Studio in Wayne Heights from 1962 to 1970. Morrow then set up and managed the photographic department at Grove Worldwide from 1970 to 1989. Retired since then, he devotes himself full time to drawing and painting.
He has received a host of awards throughout the years for both his photography and his art, including many Best of Shows. His oil paintings, prints and photographs are in public and private collections throughout the United States and abroad.
Morrow's work has been exhibited in galleries, museums and one-man shows in Maryland and Pennsylvania.
During the reception and the month-long exhibit, Morrow's works will be available for sale at the Oller House, with the artist donating a portion of the proceeds to the historical society.
The exhibit will on display the entire month of March during the Oller House's regular hours: from 1 to 5 p.m. Wednesday, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Thursday and Saturday, and 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. Friday.
