In between wedding events, you might have time to see the sights of lovely Lancaster County, PA. Here are a few suggestions:
Central Market: Apparently, Central Market is the country's oldest continuously running farmer's market. It also has some traditional Lancastrian foods, like shoofly pie and whoopie pies... and maybe some stuff that isn't pie.
Lancaster Barnstormers: The local baseball team is in town on Labor Day weekend. Even if you aren't crazy about baseball, it's a fun time -- the ballpark is new and very nice, and the mascot (pictured) is awesome.
Dutch Wonderland: A themepark based on the Pennsylvania Dutch! Good for younger kids and adults who have a good sense of humor and/or are very short. (Beware: This site has horrible music.)
Hershey Park: A big, chocolate-themed amusement park about 30 minutes away from the hotels. Chocolate World, at the entrance to the park, is a vast expanse of chocolate-themed capitalist cornucopia.
Wilbur Chocolate Factory: Tour a local chocolate factory and get delicious Wilbur Buds at the end.
Rockville Square outlet shopping: Excellent outlet shopping, with lots of stores all in one place.
Strasburg Railroad: Super-cool railroad museum, where you can climb on real-live old trains.
Intercourse Pretzel Factory: Just what it sounds like, except that "Intercourse" is the name of a town.
Pennsylvania Dutch stuff: Learn more about the Amish and Amish-type places to visit in Lancaster.
More Lancaster attractions: Bowling! Bicycling! Golf! Theaters! Museums! More stuff!
