Slideshow: Project Gettysburg Leon Fiesta and Auction

January 20, 2024 by Jim Bargas

The Project Gettysburg Leon (PGL) Fiesta and Auction returned to Gettysburg College this evening with food, fun, friends, and a live auction to support its work.

PGL was founded in 1986 by Karl Mattson and Will Lane to connect Gettysburg with its sister city in Nicaragua.

PGL promotes friendship and advances sustainable development through capacity building funds, education, and cultural exchange programs.
