The Bath Business and Community Partnership is again putting together a 2013 Guide to Historic Bath and surrounding areas to strengthen the local economy. They are inviting businesses, services, physicians, food services, churches and museums to be included. The plan is to have 6,500 brochures printed and distributed to local businesses and public places.

There is a deadline of Jan. 25. Businesses are asked to contact Carol Heckman with questions or to be included at 610-837-7766. Registration forms are available at S. Seem Antiques and Steckel House Antiques on Chestnut Street
