\"\"<\/a>The Three for the Road Walk-a-thon is slated for this weekend.
\nCreated as a 12-year-old\u2019s service project, Three for the Road supports lung cancer, chiari malformation\/syringamyelia and Bloomin\u2019 Youth Autism Awareness.
\nRegistration for the event will begin at 1 p.m. on Sunday and step-off is set for 2 p.m. at Legion Park in Hollidaysburg.
\nInterested individuals can contact Julie Kyle-Newberry at 932-5218 or email threefortheroadwalk@gmail.com. Those registering early will receive a t-shirt.
\nLocal artist, Dion Dillon, created a specially designed stained glass \u2018ribbon\u2019 to commemorate this event.
\nDillon put together 30 of the keepsakes for this weekend\u2019s program.
\nBesides the walk-a-thon ribbons, Dillon has also been asked to create two larger pink ribbons, representing breast cancer awareness. The pink ribbons will hang in the windows at Your Perfect Fit, a new Centre County business specializing in professional bra-fitting, control undergarments and sleepwear. The new store is located on the diamond in Boalsburg and carries a wide range of designer and custom undergarments along with bath, body and skin care essentials.
\nFor anyone interested in learning to make their own stained glass creations, Dillon offers classes at his shop, Djday\u2019s Stained Glass, located along Cooks Hollow Road in Snyder Township.
\nInexpensive, six week beginner classes on the skills of creating stained glass are now being offered.
\nThe cost of the course is $42. There is limited space, so classes usually consist of three people. Beginners in Dillon\u2019s class create a beautiful lamp shade.
\nStudents will also need to purchase a basic glass cutter, glass for the lamp, solder, flux, foil and a lamp base (optional). All items needed for classes are available for purchase at the studio.
\nStudio hours are Wednesdays from 6-9 p.m., and other days by appointment.
\nFor more information, contact Djday\u2019s Stained Glass at 684-1744 or e-mail at Djday10@msn.com.
\nDjday\u2019s Stained Glass offers supplies for glass working, mosaics, jewelry making, fusing\/kiln and flame working. Custom orders are also accepted, including lamps, sun catchers, panels and leaded windows.<\/p>\n
