Ms Whittaker,
I was part of a baseball group, Vxxxxx Bxxxxx, that stayed in your property (Fairfield Inn Lancaster) this past weekend. I wanted to drop you a short note to tell you that my family had a very nice time and enjoyed our stay. Your staff was very easy to work with and very helpful with directions and recommendations for local restaurants, etc.. The room was clean and very comfortable with easy access. Check in and check out was quick and easy and the breakfast was very good. I know that handling large groups can be very challenging on all your staff but your service was excellent.
Many thanks to you and your staff for making our stay very comfortable. If I am in the area again, I will stay at your hotel.

I love this time of year. It’s not just the beautiful weather, I love the fresh fruits and vegetables that are available everywhere. The Great Pennsylvania Flavor Fest is this weekend at the PA Renaissance Faire. Cooking demos, wine tasting and live music are featured at Flavor Fest. Foodies will also enjoy the many farmers markets in Lancaster County. Central Market is in downtown Lancaster and the Bird-in-Hand Farmers Market is located on Route 340 in the heart of Amish country. Another farmer’s market on Water Street in Lititz will be open on May 29,2010 from 8am- 12pm. The Lititz farmer’s market has music and fresh fruits, vegetables and baked goods. For those foodies not afraid to go off the beaten path, try one of the local farm stands. You will not be disappointed with the home grown fruits and vegetables here in Lancaster County.

Make A Wish
Mother’s Day 2009 I took my mom to watch the Make-A-Wish Convoy. That was all she wanted and we had the best time!! Although my mom and I sat along the route, my friend took her 3 grandsons to see the trucks and play games at Burle Industries on New Holland Pike. They go every year and have the best time while giving back to the community.The best part is seeing the Make-A-Wish children smiling in the big rigs!!
The activities start at Burle Industries at 8:30 am with kid’s games, live bands and great food. The Make-A-Wish Convoy leaves Burle Industries at 1:30 pm.
Happy Mother’s Day to all!
