HVF Bi-Monthly Board of Directors Meeting

Friday, September 21, 2018

South Ridge Center

7:00 PM

Our annual Big Savage Tunnel bicycle ride will be held on September 22, 2018 at 9:00 AM. We will depart from the Meyersdale train station and cruise down to the Cumberland overlook on the "Maryland" side of the tunnel, hopefully for some fall color. After a short climb back to the Eastern Continental Divide, we will do our usual "town line sprint" back to the station. The total ride distance is around 22 miles. We are leaving earlier this year, so that everyone can take advantage of Somerset County Trail Day at Meyersdale Community Park when we return. There will be music, food vendors, games, and raffles for all to enjoy. Please RSVP at www.hvftoday.com.

Hidden Valley homeowners are welcome to join us on an outing to The Mountain Playhouse in Jennerstown, PA, on Saturday, September 22. The Recreation Committee has reserved tickets for the comedy “One Slight Hitch” by Lewis Black. Synopsis: It’s Courtney’s wedding day and her mother, Delia, is making sure that everything is perfect. The groom is perfect. The dress is perfect. The decorations (assuming they arrive) will be perfect.  Then the doorbell rings. Guess who? It’s Courtney’s old boyfriend. Things fall apart—so much for perfect!  “If sustained laughter is the best measure of a comedy, One Slight Hitch makes the grade” – New York Magazine. We will gather at the Foundation Office Great Room at 6:00 p.m. for wine, tea sandwiches, coffee and water. The shuttle will depart at 7:00 p.m. and the play begins at 8:00 p.m. Reservations must be made, and payment received no later than September 8th.  Cost is $40 for the play and shuttle ride. For more information, please contact Robin Henley at This email address is being protected from spambots.
