I hope that you'll post a report about this event if you go, Lynn.
The community of Indiana, PA, where Jimmy Stewart hailed from is having a year long celebration of the actor's centennial, which you can read about here. I met a lady who attended the events there surrounding the anniversary of his birth last week. She was thrilled to report that she'd met and been charmed by Mr. Stewart's twin daughters, Kelly and Judy at the celebration.
