Culture Passes from Waynesboro, VA Library! Great Savings!

This is a non-event post, but I thought this was a really neat opportunity offered by Waynesboro Public Library. You can check out Culture Passes to obtain great savings at some really neat places in the area (some of which will be added to Fun in the Boro!)

The only catch is the offers expire within a week of the checkout date (in one case 3 days) It looks like you request a pass for the venue of your choice so you can get one at a time. It also says that they are first come first serve and you cannot place holds on them. So it sounds like they only offer so many out at a time.

So a little about each pass. You can get . . .

A free tour of the Blackfriars Playhouse for up to 4 people! (use within 1 week)
Free general admission for a family of four to the Frontier Culture Museum! (use within 1 week and not valid for special events)- Previous Frontier Culture post!
