How do you define a vacation? Webster’s says it is a period of time a person spends away from home or business, usually in order to relax

or travel. I don’t think a vacation has to be a weeklong, carefully planned and booked annual event. Sometimes getting away for a long weekend is just what the doctor ordered. Like the old saying, it’s not the quantity, but the quality of our time that counts.

As a child, I spent most of my summer weekends camping. I come from a large family, and camping was an affordable way to vacation - and it still is. Hayrides, new friends, swimming, campfires, s’mores and poison ivy are just some of the things that come to mind when I reminisce about those vacations so long ago.

How many conversations at your family gatherings have begun with, “Re-member that summer when...?” Sure, there are always some experiences we’d like to forget, but most are fond and humorous memories that have become part of family history.

I’m proud to say that Pennsylvania is packed with experiences that create fond memories that will live on for generations. You’ll find plenty of vacation ideas in the pages of our summer issue.

Here’s a thought…for a real family vacation allow everyone in the family to have input. Build your itinerary together by logging on to whereandwhen.com and checking out all the events and attractions. You can save the things you want to do by setting up your own “favorites” page.

Happy summer!


PENNSYLVANIA'S TRAVEL GUIDE PENNSYLVANIA'S TRAVEL GUIDE

“Remember that summer when we went to…” is usually the start of a conver-sation laced with fond memories of vaca-tions that left an imprint on our childhood.

Not so long ago, getting kids to come in for dinner was a parent’s biggest chal-lenge. Today, families face challenges that didn’t exist when we were kids – challeng-es associated with technology. An unfor-tunate result of mobile technology is that kids never have to go outside to be with friends. Social media, texting and Skype keep children connected without ever leaving the house.

Planning a summer vacation that will keep everyone engaged, regardless of their age, is literally a few mouse-clicks away. Below are the foundations for some great themed vacations; all you have to do is decide where and when.

In case you thought you had to go south of PA to get to a beach, think again. This protected summer playground is a trea-sured state park complete with its own lighthouse.

Let’s get started...Presque Isle State Park1 Peninsula Dr., Erie PA 16505814-833-7424presqueisle.org

The 3,200-acre sandy peninsula known as Presque Isle has nine beaches that are open from Memorial Day to Labor Day, from 10 a.m. to 7:30 p.m. All the beaches are guarded, but each has different ame-

nities. The most ideal for young children is Beach 11, which is large and sandy with shallow water. The typically calm water al-lows children to play without larger waves experienced at the other beaches. Beach 11 also has a bathhouse, concession stand, picnic area and playground.

One very special area of Presque Isle is Sunset Point, also known as “Kite Beach” for the kite flying that takes place there. The area is located between beaches 9 and 10. Your little ones will delight as large colorful kites fly overhead.

The best time to enjoy the kite-flying spectacle is July 25 to 27, during Discover Presque Isle. In addition to dozens of spectacular kites, a beach illumination will bathe the sand in a neon glow. Nature programs, kids’ ac-tivities, competitions, live music, food and bonfires will make this the high-light of your vacation.

Erie Zoo423 W. 38th St., Erie, PA 16508814-864-4091eriezoo.org

The Erie Zoo is ideal for little legs. Al-though the zoo is home to more than 400 animals, your family can comfortably stroll through the zoo and gardens in just a couple hours. From African penguins and giraffes to monkeys and kangaroos, this quaint city zoo will delight everyone in your party. The

Few sunsets rival those experienced at Lake Erie.


Erie Zoo is also very af fordable at just $7.50 for adults and $4.00 for children ages 2 to 12. Stop by from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily from March 1 through Nov. 30.

Splash Lagoon8091 Peach St., Erie, PA 16509866-3-SPLASHsplashlagoon.com

For me, nothing is quite like lying on the beach with a good book. But, for the kids, there is nothing like careening down a waterslide with nothing to stop your mo-mentum but a pool of water at the bot-tom. How’s this for convenience: a visit to Splash Lagoon can be as simple as walking down the corridor from your hotel room. That’s because three hotels are connected for indoor access to the waterpark.

Splash Lagoon has eight thrilling rides, multiple themed pools - including a 200,000-gallon wave pool, the Lazy River tube float, an arcade, a ropes course and Laser Tag. For smaller family mem-bers, Monkey Shines Island provides safe water fun away from the thrill seekers. Mini waterslides, a shallow pool and baby swings offer plenty of entertainment for little water bugs.

ExpERIEnce Children’s Museum420 French St., Erie, PA 16507814-453-3743eriechildrensmuseum.org

One step inside, and there is no doubt for whom the Erie Children’s Museum was designed. Every exhibit supports its mission that learning and fun go hand in hand. Interactive exhibits teach children problem solving, predicting outcomes and working together.

You can bring a picnic lunch and eat in the small snack area or step outside and lay out a blanket on the grass. If you didn’t bring lunch, there are plenty of restau-rants close by.

The Scranton area is rich in historical significance. This trip will be interesting but not so heady that you’ll lose the kids to their cellphones halfway through the experience. There are plenty of oppor-tunities for hands-on activities, from de-

scending 300 feet into the Lackawa-nna Coal Mine to a wet and wild time at Montage Mountain Waterpark.

In addition to more than 400 ani-mals the Erie Zoo has a carousel and train to the delight of visitors young and old.


The railroad museum offers regu-larly scheduled excursions on board historical steam locomotives during the summer months. You may want to plan your visit during one of the special events at the railroad. The Railfest 2014 event (Aug. 30 and 31) includes special exhibits, demonstrations and tours at the historic site. An excursion to down-town Scranton takes passengers to the city’s celebration of all things Italian at La Festa Italiana.

On Monday, Aug. 25, the Steamtown National Historic Site is open free of charge as part of a program that in-cludes more than 100 national parks.

Lackawanna Coal Mine Tour1 Bald Mountain Rd., Scranton, PA 18504570-963-6463lackawannacounty.org/index.php/at-tractions/coal-mine

The slow 300-foot descent into an 1860 anthracite coal mine can be intimi-dating, especially as daylight disappears. Visitors experience what it must have been like for 19th-century coal miners on their daily journey beneath the surface.

The nearby Penn-sylvania Anthracite Heritage Museum is a natural pairing with the coal mine tour. The museum is located in Scran-ton’s McDade Park.

Electric City Trolley Museum300 Cliff Ave., Scranton, PA 18503570-963-6590ectma.org

The museum depicts Scranton’s distinc-tion as the first city in the U.S. to have a streetcar system built to run entirely on electric. The facility is located on Steam-town National Historic Site property. In addition to vintage trolleys, the museum features interactive displays, a 50-seat theater and a hands-on children’s area,

all in a restored 19th-century mill. Dur-ing the operating season, trolley rides are available throughout the day, Thursday through Sunday.

One such excursion takes visitors to the Scranton Iron Furnaces located near Steamtown. Four massive stone blast fur-naces present a stark contract to the sur-rounding park setting. The visitor center houses exhibits on iron and steel manu-facturing as well as a gift shop.

With heads filled with k n o w l e d g e , the kids may need a re-freshing break, and Montage Mountain Wa-terpark is the answer!

addition to beach volley-ball, mini golf, batting cages and the heart-stopping ride, the ZipRider. Guests, braver than me, will race down the mountain, over treetops, at speeds topping 50 mph!

Scranton Wilkes-BarreRailRidersPNC Field, 235 Montage Mountain Rd., Moosic, PA570-969-2255swbrailriders.com

Ten minutes south of Scranton is the small town of Moosic, home of the New York Yankees AAA affiliate, the Rail-Riders. Grab a seat, a hot dog and a coke and enjoy America’s pastime on a budget. Minor league baseball is a very affordable and fun way to spend and afternoon or evening.

When was the last time you had an adventure? Booking that hotel without checking TripAdvisor first does not count. I mean a real outside the box, almost off-the-grid experience in the Pennsylvania Wilds. I say almost because you may get cell service in some areas, but it’s spotty.

Let’s get started...Cook Forest State ParkPA 36, Cooksburg, PA 16217814-744-8407dcnr.state.pa.us/stateparks

With more than 11,500 acres of nature, Cook Forest is regarded as one the most pristine forests in PA. The Forest Cathe-dral, a National Natural Landmark whose beauty is unmatched, must be a destina-tion on this getaway. To get there, couples will take the Longfellow Trail located be-hind the Log Cabin Visitors Center. Even if there were no signs to mark it, you will know when you’ve arrived. This old-growth forest is home to 200- to 350-year-old white pine and hemlock that measure as much as 5 feet in diameter and reach heights of nearly 200 feet.

Miles and miles of biking, hiking and equestrian trails provide couples ample opportunity to get in touch with nature and leave their hectic schedules behind. The view of the Clarion River Valley from Seneca Point Overlook is a popular and worthwhile hiking destination.

If you want to add a little more adven-ture to your hike, geocaching brings out the treasure hunter in all of us. All you need is a GPS, but it begins on the Inter-net. You log on to geocaching.com and type in the Cook Forest zip code – 16217 – and you will find hundreds of geocaches in the area. Easier geocaches are highlighted for beginners.

Other readily available outdoor activi-ties in Cook Forest include fishing and ca-noeing on the Clarion River. The river is rated a Class C (beginner) with an average flow of just 4 miles per hour.

Pale Whale Canoe Fleet115 Riverside Dr., Cooksburg PA16217 814-744-8300 canoecookforest.com

If a leisurely canoe trip on the Clarion sounds like a great way to spend an after-noon, Pale Whale Canoe Fleet is your next destination. The outfitter is the oldest in Cook Forest and rents canoes, kayaks and inner tubes. The staff at Pale Whale sug-gests you arrive early on weekends and holidays.

Sawmill Theatre170 Theatre Lane, Cooksburg, PA 16217814-927-6655sawmill.org

After an adventure in the wilderness, you may want to just sit back and enjoy an evening at the theater. Cook Forest Saw-mill Center for the Arts is home to Sawmill Theatre, where a wide variety of shows are performed from late May through mid-September. This summer, the theater will present beloved classics including “Har-vey,” “All About Love” and Neil Simon’s “Rumors.” Check out the theater website for dates and times.

Red Bandana Winery265 Allio Dr., Leeper, PA 16233814-744-9631redbandanawinery.com

In less than 10 minutes you can drive from Cooksburg to Leeper where the Red Bandana Winery awaits. If you’re looking for a hoity-toity wine tasting experience, you’ll not find it here. What you will find is a relaxed, pleasant atmosphere where you’ll discover delicious regional country wines using local fruits and berries.

Be sure to see the exquisite artwork of Kathleen Flaherty Hall as well as other art-ists in the winery’s gallery. Her works can be previewed at flahertyartworks.com.

On Friday and Saturday evenings the winery comes alive with an eclectic range of live music.

Your getaway can be as rustic or refined as you want it to be. Lodging in the area ranges from primitive camping in the for-est to the luxurious Gateway Lodge, nes-tled in the heart of the Cook Forest.

Just outside of Hershey, visitors will dis-cover winding country roads and Amish and Mennonite farms that dot the land-scape. Here, the exhilarated shrieks from the riders at Hersheypark are but a faint memory. And a scenic drive through the woods leads to a quaint town that harkens back to a much simpler time.

Let’s start with what you are most likely familiar with, Hershey. To many, Hershey means candy and coasters, but there is a rich heritage behind all the delicious fun.

Once called the “Black Forest,” Cook Forest is known for its stands of old-growth. The “Forest Cathedral” of towering white pines and hemlocks is a National Natural Landmark.


So I think we should begin our vacation at the Hershey Story.

Let’s get started...The Hershey Story63 W. Chocolate Ave., Hershey, PA 17033717-534-8939hersheystory.org

The Hershey Story mu-seum is where you will learn about one man’s American dream. Visitors will learn about Milton Hershey’s humble beginnings, his chocolate company and his inspirational legacy of giving to children in need. A favorite of visitors young and old is the Chocolate Lab. This 45-minute hands-on class explores the quali-ties of chocolate through interactive demonstrations. “Students” will even take home their own chocolate creation. The Hershey Story is open year round.

With a brand new historical perspec-tive, it’s on to Hersheypark, where you will experience how Milton Hershey’s vision of a simple playground for employees and their families turned into one of the best amusement parks anywhere.

Hersheypark100 Hersheypark Dr., Hershey, PA 17033800-HERSHEYhersheypark.com

Hersheypark didn’t just spring out of the ground one day. It’s humble beginnings parallel Milton Hershey’s own life. What started as a park for employees and their families has blossomed into a 110-acre theme park with more than 70 rides and 12 roller coasters! In addition to the heart-pumping rides, the park boasts live en-tertainment on six stages and

three performance areas. The Boardwalk at Hersheypark, which features nine refresh-ing water rides, and ZooAmerica, North American Wildlife Park, are included in the price of admission.

There is so much to do just around the perimeter of Hersheypark. From Chocolate World and first class acts at the Giant Cen-

ter, to Hershey Gardens and shopping at Tanger Outlets, there is truly something for everyone in your family.

Mount GretnaRoute 117, Mount Gretna, PA 17064mountgretna.com

The Boardwalk at Hersheypark is just one of family-friendly reasons to make the “Coasters & Country Roads” itinerary ideal for all ages.

Gretna. Here, life moves at a very differ-ent pace. Once you turn onto Route 117, you almost immediately feel yourself re-lax. Driving through the protected wooded area is such a welcome retreat from the normal tempo of life. Once you’ve been to Mount Gretna it’s not hard to imagine why this has been a magnet for artists for de-cades. The serene setting is home to the Mount Gretna Outdoor Art Show, which attracts juried artists and patrons from all over the United States. This year’s show, the 40th annual event, will be held Aug. 16 and 17.

Beneath the towering trees of Mount Gretna, visitors will find an old-fashioned roller rink, a very popular ice cream parlor called the Jigger Shop and a lake with eight acres of beach.

Mt. Gretna Lake & Beach130 Lakeview Dr., Lebanon, PA 17042717-964-3130mtgretnalake.com

The privately owned Mt. Gretna Lake & Beach is a refreshing place to spend a lazy summer afternoon. Float on your in-ner tube, rent a canoe or just lounge on the beach – how much more relaxed can you be? There is an admission fee for Mt. Gretna Lake.

While in Lebanon County, there are a few other things you should see. Although Lancaster County to the south is known for its Amish population, Lebanon County is home to many Amish families, which you’re sure to see along the county’s back roads. These simple folk are known for farm-fresh produce and homemade des-serts. Go ahead, explore and get lost!

Lebanon Farmers’ Market35 S. Eighth St., Lebanon, PA 17042lebanonfarmersmarket.com

There is a gem in the heart of the city of Lebanon where shoppers get locally grown produce and freshly baked breads and desserts. The original Lebanon Mar-ket House was dedicated in 1892, and to-day the 30,000-square-foot historically restored building is home to more than 30 market vendors. The market is open Thursday through Saturday.

Snitz Creek Brewery7 N. Ninth St., Lebanon, PA 17046snitzcreekbrewery.com

One of Lebanon’s newest businesses is the Snitz Creek Brewery. Brothers-in-law Adam Szajda and Patrick Freer have a passion for craft brews that is evident in their brewpub. The two turned their love of h o m e b r e w -ing into a great place to get a bite to eat and have a drink. The food is pub fare with a distinct nod to their local roots.

––––––––

So there you have it. Any one of these summer vacations could be the one that is remembered at family gatherings. There is no need to drive far to have a vacation full of great memories. I’ve given only a few suggestions for each destination, but there is so much more to do during your getaway.. Log on to whereandwhen.com and start planning the rest of your sum-mer vacation in Pennsylvania.

By Brenda Lee Sieglitz

Weather of all types creates a sense of community and connection. This was especially evident over this long winter in Pennsylvania when an ice storm took down tree limbs all across the Com-monwealth. As the storm fi nally blew past, we commiserated by sharing our photos of destruction with one another. Weather fascinates us and captivates us with how bad it can become and how far the thermometer will dip and climb. To learn more about the science and folk-lore behind weather prediction, plan a visit to the Weather Discovery Center in the PA Wilds to explore weather-related activities and investigate the questions

surrounding the state of the atmosphere.

Growing up in Lancaster County, our family home was surrounded by four corn fi elds, one of which bordered a pas-ture where the cows would graze. I often noticed whether

or not the cows were lying down. If they were, rain was sure to come,

or so the folklore told. The Weather Dis-covery Center helps to answer this ques-tion and much more involving weather folklore that existed before atmospheric technology was developed.

Have you ever wanted to try your hand at being a TV weather personality? The Accuweather Forecasting station gives

visitors the chance to use green screen technology to try out their weather forecasting skills. Other exhibits in-clude pre-technol-ogy forecasting, thunderstorm cre-ation, a slide that simulates a torna-do and a historical focus on the 1914 former post offi ce that is home to the center.

The center is located in Punx-


sutawney, and there is even a special area dedicated to the town’s famous weather prognosticator.

Since 1886, Punxsutawney has been one of the most important homes for weather prediction. On Feb. 2 of that year, and every year thereafter, the famous groundhog Punxsutawney Phil came out to see if his shadow would predict six more weeks of winter.

We survived Phil’s long winter prediction this year, and to cel-ebrate, you may want to enjoy the center’s Summer Solstice Weekend on June 20 and 21, a Beautiful Bird Houses exhibit running from June 30 to Aug. 2, Summer Weather Camp for kids

the weeks of July 7 to 21 and an Almost Overnighter program in August.

If you visit during the Groundhog Fes-tival from June 25 to July 5, you can also enjoy food, crafters, concerts, magic and kids’ entertainment, all while celebrating the town’s most famous resident, Punx-sutawney Phil. For more information, visit

www.groundhogfestival.com.Admission to the Weather Discov-

ery Center is $5.00 per person, and children under 2 are admitted for free. Hours are Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. The cen-ter is located at 201 N. Findley St. in Punxsutawney. Visit www.weatherdiscovery.org for more information or call 814-938-1000.

Raystown Dam, the linchpin behind all the beauty and recreational fun at Raystown Lake in Huntingdon County, Pa., will celebrate its 40th birthday this summer.

The county is pulling out all the stops to cel-ebrate the milestone, with festivities running from Friday, June 6, through Sunday, June 8.

The Raystown Dam was offi cially dedicated on June 6, 1974, although it had already been completed for a couple of years. The project was undertaken by the Army Corp of Engi-neers for three main reasons: fl ood control, production of hydroelectric power, and recre-ation. Tropical Storm Agnes tested the newly completed dam’s fl ood retention in 1972, and the William F. Matson electricity generating station was dedicated in 1988; however, the 30-mile-long lake with 118 miles of shoreline that the dam created is the primary draw for visitors looking to enjoy camping, wa-ter sports, fi shing, and many other outdoor activities.

During the birthday celebration, visitors can kick off their participation by taking a tour of the Raystown Dam. Live entertainment will take place at the Seven Points Amphitheater throughout the anniversary weekend. Auto-mobile afi cionados will get their fi ll during a car show, and folks with a competitive edge can take part in various watercraft races. Sce-nic bicycle tours will also be offered at vari-ous locations throughout the lake region. The celebration will come to a proper close with a fi reworks show over the lake, where the water will provide a beautiful refl ection of the burst-ing colors.

For those who can’t make the big weekend birthday bash, there will still be plenty to do

in the Raystown Lake region throughout the summer.

Lake Raystown Resort and Lodge is one of only two developed areas right on the lake. Be-sides the other developed area, Seven Points Marina, the lake provides scenic, natural beau-ty as the backdrop for boating, swimming, and operating various types of watercraft. In addi-tion to providing lodging and a marina, Lake Raystown Resort offers visitors a restaurant, a water park, and the Proud Mary tour boat. Children also love to feed the perpetually hun-gry fi sh at the resort’s marina dock.

Nearby Seven Points Marina features house-boat rentals, a restaurant, and the Princess tour boat. The Seven Points Amphitheater provides entertainment throughout the sum-mer season, and picnic pavilions are available for rent. The Seven Points Recreation Area will also feature free Tuesday Wake-Up Receptions from mid-June through mid-August 2014. The receptions will include displays from local at-tractions and businesses, as well as food. Visi-tors will fi nd a sample of things to do in the Raystown Lake area, along with door prizes.

The Keystone Country Cruisin’ Vehicle Show will take place Friday to Sunday, July 4 through 6, at the Huntingdon County Fairgrounds. Visitors will catch a glimpse of not only classic cars, but trucks, motorcycles, and tractors as well. The event will include various automotive contests and plenty of entertainment, food, and games.

The region is home to one-third of Pennsyl-vania’s total number of caves and cavern sites. Indian Caverns and Lincoln Caverns are two sites for families interested in a guided tour of caverns that require no special equipment or

spelunking experience. Both cavern options have additional activities that introduce chil-dren to geology and the archaeological his-tory of Huntingdon County.

The Creation Music Festival, Christian mu-sic’s largest concert event on the east coast, will take place Wednesday through Saturday, June 25 through 28. Popular Christian artists like TobyMac, Newsboys, and Chris Tomlin will take the main stage this year at Agape Farm in Mount Union, Pa., a short drive from the Raystown Lake area. Additional acts will perform on a second stage, and children’s performers will entertain little ones in the children’s tent. Other attractions during the festival include a skateboard park, a rock climbing wall, and special speakers. High-lights of the event are Communion night and the fi reworks display during the last eve-ning of the festival. Families may purchase single-day tickets or passes for the entire event. On-site camping is available and is free with the price of admission. More informa-tion on the Creation Festival is available at www.creationfest.com.

Family-owned and operated Pioneer Family Campground is another camping option just

minutes from Raystown Lake. Boasting a heat-ed swimming pool, miniature golf course, bas-ketball court, volleyball court, and a fi sh pond, Pioneer offers plenty of activities right on site. Special events also take place throughout the year, including the camp-wide fl ea market that will take place on Saturday, June 7. RV and trailer camping is available year-round in both wooded and non-wooded sites. Additional lodging options include cabins and the Pioneer Lodge. A full list of amenities is available at www.pioneerfamilycampground.com.

Finally, families can explore seemingly end-less trail possibilities, accessible on foot, ATV, mountain bike, or even horseback. The Alle-grippis Trails at Raystown Lake feature more than 30 miles of single track mountain biking trails through the Allegheny Mountains, for-ests, and along the shoreline of the lake. The trails are designated as “multi-use,” so they are available for hiking as well. Visitors are en-couraged to bring along a camera to capture the incredible views and interesting wildlife.

The third annual Shawnee Riverfest is set for Sunday, July 13, at the Shawnee Inn and Golf Resort. The family-friendly event will run from 1 to 7 p.m. and will feature free live music, an auction, and games for children. Riverfest will be held rain or shine at the River Sanctuary on the resort’s great lawn in Shawnee on Delaware.

Personalities from local radio station Pocono 96.7 will host a six-hour concert, beginning at 1 p.m.

“People love that they can have a lei-surely afternoon right by the water and listen to artists from around the region,” said event coordinator Gil Coronado, who pre-fers to manage talent and events that involve charities and community outreach. “We all have a responsibility to give back to the

community, and this is really a wonder-ful, very tight-knit community,” said Coronado.

In its fi rst year, Shawnee Riverfest raised enough money to support the local Salvation Army for two months. With the help of Pocono 96.7, atten-dance tripled the second year, and the amount donated to the Salvation Army increased accordingly.

“They made such a huge contribu-tion,” Coronado said of the radio sta-tion’s personalities. He added that, like

event host Shawnee Inn, “Pocono 96.7 is another organiza-

tion that really be-lieves in the com-munity aspect of

the event.”Coronado has lived

in the area for 14 years and enjoys work-

ing with so many compassionate people to pro-duce what he

annual event serves up family fun while helping the community annual event serves up family fun while helping the communityShawnee Riverfest Music feeds more than



refers to as a “no-pressure, proactive fundraiser.”

Music this year will run the gamut from folk and Nashville country to rock and retro-pop. “Amer-ican Idol” contestant and Colgate Coun-try Showdown fi nalist Kendall Phillips will headline the concert. The 25-year-old sing-er-songwriter and ac-tress recently followed up the success of her debut single “You Should Know” with the release of a song titled “My Heart Be-longs in the Poconos,” which is bound to be a crowd favorite.

Coronado has yet to confi rm the entire roster but is excited to announce that Stroudsburg duo Val-entina, featuring Kelly

and Shara, will perform at this year’s show. Their infl uences range from Judy Garland and The Andrews Sisters to Mariah Carey and Whitney Houston.

Returning to the stage will be Minnie Dee. She and her band are perennial favorites be-cause their repertoire spans the ages, ap-pealing to adults and youths alike.

Proceeds from the auction, as well as a percentage of the sales of food and CDs by featured performers, will benefi t the East Stroudsburg Salvation Army Emergency Re-sponse Program. The funds are earmarked for programs that pro-vide food for Monroe County residents.
