PORT JERVIS, NY — The Hub Explorers will tour 155-year-old Gillinder Glass and then enjoy an apple-stick weenie roast hosted by Cindy and Fred Harding on Saturday, April 9.

The Hub at the Port Jervis Free Library is the host of the Hub Explorers, who explore the interesting businesses and the natural wonders of our region every month.

During the tour, acclaimed guest artists will demonstrate the historic art of hand-blown glass. Participants will meet the sixth-generation president of the company, and see how a quiet little company produces 50% of all of the airfield taxi light glass in the U.S. Afterward, the group will caravan to a nearby location where all will enjoy an old-fashioned weenie roast with hot dogs cooked over an open fire on apple sticks.

The group will meet in the parking lot across the street from Gillinder Glass, 51 Erie St., at 11 a.m. The second part of this excursion will be outdoors, so dress accordingly.

You can register in person, by calling 845/856-7313, or by emailing thehub@portjervislibrary.org. Payment of the non-refundable $8 program fee is required to complete the registration and be assured of participation in the program.
