There are many places to visit while in Lancaster during the Month of October and many places you could stay give us a call today to hear about all of our great rates and packages.
Each year the managers from the Hilton Garden inn Lancaster Participate in the Putt for Education. The event takes place at the Village Green Mini Golf Course each October and benefits Junior Achievement. Last year the teams were split the men vs. the women. It is still a office debate as to which of the management teams came out the winner. We split the teams again between the ladies and men this year.
The morning rain didn’t stop any one from having a good time. Here are some of the pictures of the events:
