5 Run in Columbia

Innkeeper — Mon, 14 May 2012 20:23:42 +0000

I’m sure someone out there enjoys brutalizing their body like some of my children(really adults) do. So step right up and register for this 5K run. May 26, SVCC will host the 12th annual River Run. Pre-registration is underway for this 5k run which begins at 8:30 AM. Cheer on the participants as they cross the Veterans Memorial Bridge.

Last weekend my daughter did a 1/2 IronMan in Virginia. When she showed up here several hours later she looked none the worse for the wear. Since this mom is not so physically fit I find it mind boggling what you do in the name of fun. You see I must always taste the food that is served for quality control and besides that who ever heard of a skinny cook you could trust???

Pretzels in Lancaster County

Innkeeper — Tue, 24 Apr 2012 20:07:33 +0000

YUMMY pretzels! Served with peanut butter, plain butter, dips and whatever you might want to add. I even make a dessert using pretzels. So this Saturday in Lititz it is FEST time. Sturgis Pretzels in Lititz has been around for a long time and I’m sure will have a lot to do with this event. If you venture to Intercourse you can go to Intercourse Pretzel Factory, my favorite pretzel there is the brown butter pretzel. Lancaster County is settled by the Germans and we love our pretzels, whether they are thin, fat, flavored, plain or dipped (chocolate is good). You need to experience this to understand.

History Weekend

It Happened on the Square with our own Mayor J. Richard Gray will be happening on Friday. While you are downtown you might want to take a segway tour and see even more. Stay a little longer in the city and enjoy Music Friday, our city goes all out for this and you can stroll the streets take in the music, eat, visit some art studios and just relax.

Awake to a good breakfast at Vogt Farm and we’ll discuss what ever you want to do. If you want to continue the history you can go to PA Railroad Museum and take in t he info about The Role of Railroads in Pennsylvania During the Civil War. However, if you’ve had enough of that I’ll have other things for things for you to enjoy.

Easter Week

Innkeeper — Mon, 02 Apr 2012 15:29:30 +0000

Easter Week for some is a holy time for others it is a time for celebrating Spring. If you are the former you might want to come enjoy an Easter Sunrise service with other believers followed by a breakfast at the church or come back to the B&B and have breakfast. If you are the later we have shopping and hiking or biking.

All of you might like to take in the performance of “The Confession” based on the book by Beverly Lewis. You will need reservations call 717-569-5437 or go to bird-in-hand.

Landis Valley Museum

Innkeeper — Mon, 26 Mar 2012 18:34:15 +0000

Landis Valley is more than a museum, for some reason people think museums are boring, this outdoor fun that is mixed with experience. May 11-12 is their Herb & Garden Faire. There will be vendors and hands on things to try, plants to take home or just see them growing. You spend a few hours or all day depending on your level of interest.

March 23-24 Things to do

Innkeeper — Mon, 19 Mar 2012 20:26:29 +0000

Small town America is a wonderful way to live. To showcase this what they offer two very local towns have 4th Friday events. Mount Joy (just 3 miles) has little shops open till 8 and food in abundance at the cafes and restaurants. Usually there is street music and town is bustling with people walking the streets and enjoying the locals. Columbia (6 miles) offer food, art and other goings on. It gives a different prospective on how people really live.

Did you ever what to bake bread from scratch? If so, The Good Cooking Store is offering a class on Saturday the 23th.

Murder at Mount Hope is this Friday night. Dinner and fun, how can you beat that.

Katie’s Kitchen

Innkeeper — Thu, 01 Mar 2012 15:31:47 +0000

Lancaster County has a very unique dining option called Katie’s Kitchen. About 5 years ago an Old Order Amish family bought a Freeze and Frizz and made it into a small restaurant which has homemade food that is really simple and delicious. Most of the girls who wait tables are Amish. The food is fresh… [Continue Reading]
