Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow.  We’re about to be hit with the second of a double shot of foot high snow accumulations.  Last Saturday we all but gave up.  A few intrepid participants from the NAFDMA Convention were bound and determined to visit the Village and trudged through almost 20 inches of snow.  Thank you to all the shopkeepers who came in and to those incredibly adventurous NAFDMA folks!

So we got all dug out on Monday, it’s now Tuesday afternoon and we’re about to be hit again.  Wouldn’t you know we were to host an all-day workshop with some of those same NAFDMA conventioneers called Agri-Tourism Lancaster County Style?  We had seminars, tours, lunch and a visit to Lapp Valley Farm all ready to be explored.  But we don’t do very well in the snow.  It takes a while to plow out the parking lot, to assure guests that it’s safe to travel the roads and to make sure that all our employees can safely make it to work.  So we’ve had to cancel our plans for tomorrow.  Instead, I’m going on the road and will take the seminars to downtown Lancaster at the Convention Center.  Where there’s a will, there’s a way I guess.

But I promise we’ll dig out once again and be ready for the three day weekend coming up.  The Annual President’s Day Sale starts Friday morning at Deerskin Leather, Girls Day Out, Village Quilts, and Village Outfitters.  A lot of their merchandise is 50% off and it only happens one time a year so make your way out here.  Deerskin Leather even has a few styles of UGG on sale this year.  And for the first time Village Quilts has selected a few quilts for the sale.  If you can spend the night there are a couple of  rooms left.  It will be beautiful in Lancaster County – the roads should be cleared but the fields will still be covered in snow.  Bring your boots!

All this and I almost forgot Valentine’s Day.  What a great romantic surprise to spend the day or the night in Pennsylvania Dutch Country!  See you soon.
