Chestertown Mayor David Foster and Washington College President Michael Sosulski will welcome students at 6:15 p.m.
The DCA and Main Street Chestertown will be handing out coupons to Washington College students for a free scoop of ice cream at either Stam’s Luncheonette or Sugar Doodles or for a free pretzel at Modern Stone Age Kitchen.
