ow do you define a vacation? Webster’s says it is a period of time a person spends away from home or business, usually in order to relax or travel. I don’t think a vacation has to be a weeklong, carefully planned and booked annual event. Sometimes getting away for a long weekend is just what the doctor ordered. Like the old saying, it’s not the quantity, but the quality of our time that counts. As a child, I spent most of my summer weekends camping. I come from a large family, and camping was an affordable way to vacation - and it still is. Hayrides, new friends, swimming, campfires, s’mores and poison ivy are just some of the things that come to mind when I reminisce about those vacations so long ago. How many conversations at your family gatherings have begun with, “Remember that summer when...?” Sure, there are always some experiences we’d like to forget, but most are fond and humorous memories that have become part of family history. I’m proud to say that Pennsylvania is packed with experiences that create fond memories that will live on for generations. You’ll find plenty of vacation ideas in the pages of our summer issue. Here’s a thought…for a real family vacation allow everyone in the family to have input. Build your itinerary together by logging on to whereandwhen. com and checking out all the events and attractions. You can save the things you want to do by setting up your own “favorites” page. Happy summer!

PENNSYLVANIA'S TRAVEL GUIDE

“Remember that summer when we went to…” is usually the start of a conversation laced with fond memories of vacations that left an imprint on our childhood. Not so long ago, getting kids to come in for dinner was a parent’s biggest challenge. Today, families face challenges that didn’t exist when we were kids – challenges associated with technology. An unfortunate result of mobile technology is that kids never have to go outside to be with friends. Social media, texting and Skype keep children connected without ever leaving the house. Planning a summer vacation that will keep everyone engaged, regardless of their age, is literally a few mouse-clicks away. Below are the foundations for some great themed vacations; all you have to do is decide where and when. In case you thought you had to go south of PA to get to a beach, think again. This protected summer playground is a treasured state park complete with its own lighthouse. / 8 /

Let’s get started... Presque Isle State Park 1 Peninsula Dr., Erie PA 16505 814-833-7424 presqueisle.org The 3,200-acre sandy peninsula known as Presque Isle has nine beaches that are open from Memorial Day to Labor Day, from 10 a.m. to 7:30 p.m. All the beaches are guarded, but each has different ame-

nities. The most ideal for young children is Beach 11, which is large and sandy with shallow water. The typically calm water allows children to play without larger waves experienced at the other beaches. Beach 11 also has a bathhouse, concession stand, picnic area and playground. One very special area of Presque Isle is Sunset Point, also known as “Kite Beach” for the kite flying that takes place there. The area is located between beaches 9 and 10. Your little ones will delight as large colorful kites fly overhead. The best time to enjoy the kiteflying spectacle is July 25 to 27, during Discover Presque Isle. In addition to dozens of spectacular kites, a beach illumination will bathe the sand in a neon glow. Nature programs, kids’ activities, competitions, live music, food and bonfires will make this the highlight of your vacation.

Erie Zoo 423 W. 38th St., Erie, PA 16508 814-864-4091 eriezoo.org The Erie Zoo is ideal for little legs. Although the zoo is home to more than 400 animals, your family can comfortably stroll through the zoo and gardens in just a couple hours. From African penguins and giraffes to monkeys and kangaroos, this quaint city zoo will delight everyone in your party. The

Stop by from 10 Photo courtesy of VisitErie a.m. to 5 In addition to more than 400 anip.m. daily mals the Erie Zoo has a carousel and train to the delight of visitors young from March 1 through and old. Nov. 30. Splash Lagoon 8091 Peach St., Erie, PA 16509 866-3-SPLASH splashlagoon.com For me, nothing is quite like lying on the beach with a good book. But, for the kids, there is nothing like careening down a waterslide with nothing to stop your momentum but a pool of water at the bottom. How’s this for convenience: a visit to Splash Lagoon can be as simple as walking down the corridor from your hotel room. That’s because three hotels are connected for indoor access to the waterpark. Splash Lagoon has eight thrilling rides, multiple themed pools - including a 200,000-gallon wave pool, the Lazy River tube float, an arcade, a ropes course and Laser Tag. For smaller family members, Monkey Shines Island provides safe water fun away from the thrill seekers. Mini waterslides, a shallow pool and baby swings offer plenty of entertainment for little water bugs.

ExpERIEnce Children’s Museum 420 French St., Erie, PA 16507 814-453-3743 eriechildrensmuseum.org One step inside, and there is no doubt for whom the Erie Children’s Museum was designed. Every exhibit supports its mission that learning and fun go hand in hand. Interactive exhibits teach children problem solving, predicting outcomes and working together. You can bring a picnic lunch and eat in the small snack area or step outside and lay out a blanket on the grass. If you didn’t bring lunch, there are plenty of restaurants close by.

Family Fun is in the

FORECAST By Brenda Lee Sieglitz

Weather of all types creates a sense of community and connection. This was especially evident over this long winter in Pennsylvania when an ice storm took down tree limbs all across the Commonwealth. As the storm finally blew past, we commiserated by sharing our photos of destruction with one another. Weather fascinates us and captivates us with how bad it can become and how far the thermometer will dip and climb. To learn more about the science and folklore behind weather prediction, plan a visit to the Weather Discovery Center in the PA Wilds to explore weather-related activities and investigate the questions

surrounding the state of the atmosphere. Growing up in Lancaster County, our family home was surrounded by four corn fields, one of which bordered a pasture where the cows would graze. I often noticed whether or not the cows were lying down. If they were, rain was sure to come, or so the folklore told. The Weather Discovery Center helps to answer this question and much more involving weather folklore that existed before atmospheric technology was developed. Have you ever wanted to try your hand at being a TV weather personality? The Accuweather Forecasting station gives visitors the chance to use green screen technology to try out their weather forecasting skills. Other exhibits include pre-technology forecasting, thunderstorm creation, a slide that simulates a tornado and a historical focus on the 1914 former post office that is home to the center. The center is located in Punx-

sutawney, and there is even a special area dedicated to the town’s famous weather prognosticator. Since 1886, Punxsutawney has been one of the most important homes for weather prediction. On Feb. 2 of that year, and every year thereafter, the famous groundhog Punxsutawney Phil came out to see if his shadow would predict six more weeks of winter. We survived Phil’s long winter prediction this year, and to celebrate, you may want to enjoy the center’s Summer Solstice Weekend on June 20 and 21, a Beautiful Bird Houses exhibit running from June 30 to Aug. 2, Summer Weather Camp for kids

the weeks of July 7 to 21 and an Almost Overnighter program in August. If you visit during the Groundhog Festival from June 25 to July 5, you can also enjoy food, crafters, concerts, magic and kids’ entertainment, all while celebrating the town’s most famous resident, Punxsutawney Phil. For more information, visit www.groundhogfestival.com. Admission to the Weather Discovery Center is $5.00 per person, and children under 2 are admitted for free. Hours are Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. The center is located at 201 N. Findley St. in Punxsutawney.

Summer A Lake Raystown

By Sara Ulrich

2014 W&W summer / whereandwhen.com

Raystown Dam, the linchpin behind all the beauty and recreational fun at Raystown Lake in Huntingdon County, Pa., will celebrate its 40th birthday this summer. The county is pulling out all the stops to celebrate the milestone, with festivities running from Friday, June 6, through Sunday, June 8. The Raystown Dam was officially dedicated on June 6, 1974, although it had already been completed for a couple of years. The project was undertaken by the Army Corp of Engineers for three main reasons: flood control, production of hydroelectric power, and recreation. Tropical Storm Agnes tested the newly completed dam’s flood retention in 1972, and the William F. Matson electricity generating station was dedicated in 1988; however, the 30-mile-long lake with 118 miles of shoreline that the dam created is the primary draw for visitors looking to enjoy camping, water sports, fishing, and many other outdoor activities. During the birthday celebration, visitors can kick off their participation by taking a tour of the Raystown Dam. Live entertainment will take place at the Seven Points Amphitheater throughout the anniversary weekend. Automobile aficionados will get their fill during a car show, and folks with a competitive edge can take part in various watercraft races. Scenic bicycle tours will also be offered at various locations throughout the lake region. The celebration will come to a proper close with a fireworks show over the lake, where the water will provide a beautiful reflection of the bursting colors. For those who can’t make the big weekend birthday bash, there will still be plenty to do

in the Raystown Lake region throughout the summer. Lake Raystown Resort and Lodge is one of only two developed areas right on the lake. Besides the other developed area, Seven Points Marina, the lake provides scenic, natural beauty as the backdrop for boating, swimming, and operating various types of watercraft. In addition to providing lodging and a marina, Lake Raystown Resort offers visitors a restaurant, a water park, and the Proud Mary tour boat. Children also love to feed the perpetually hungry fish at the resort’s marina dock. Nearby Seven Points Marina features houseboat rentals, a restaurant, and the Princess tour boat. The Seven Points Amphitheater provides entertainment throughout the summer season, and picnic pavilions are available for rent. The Seven Points Recreation Area will also feature free Tuesday Wake-Up Receptions from mid-June through mid-August 2014. The receptions will include displays from local attractions and businesses, as well as food. Visitors will find a sample of things to do in the Raystown Lake area, along with door prizes. The Keystone Country Cruisin’ Vehicle Show will take place Friday to Sunday, July 4 through 6, at the Huntingdon County Fairgrounds. Visitors will catch a glimpse of not only classic cars, but trucks, motorcycles, and tractors as well. The event will include various automotive contests and plenty of entertainment, food, and games. The region is home to one-third of Pennsylvania’s total number of caves and cavern sites. Indian Caverns and Lincoln Caverns are two sites for families interested in a guided tour of caverns that require no special equipment or whereandwhen.com / 2014 W&W summer / 63 /

spelunking experience. Both cavern options have additional activities that introduce children to geology and the archaeological history of Huntingdon County. The Creation Music Festival, Christian music’s largest concert event on the east coast, will take place Wednesday through Saturday, June 25 through 28. Popular Christian artists like TobyMac, Newsboys, and Chris Tomlin will take the main stage this year at Agape Farm in Mount Union, Pa., a short drive from the Raystown Lake area. Additional acts will perform on a second stage, and children’s performers will entertain little ones in the children’s tent. Other attractions during the festival include a skateboard park, a rock climbing wall, and special speakers. Highlights of the event are Communion night and the fireworks display during the last evening of the festival. Families may purchase single-day tickets or passes for the entire event. On-site camping is available and is free with the price of admission. More information on the Creation Festival is available at www.creationfest.com. Family-owned and operated Pioneer Family Campground is another camping option just / 64 /

Shawnee Riverfest Music annual event serves up family fun By Rick Hiduk The third annual Shawnee Riverfest is set for Sunday, July 13, at the Shawnee Inn and Golf Resort. The family-friendly event will run from 1 to 7 p.m. and will feature free live music, an auction, and games for children. Riverfest will be held rain or shine at the River Sanctuary on the resort’s great lawn in Shawnee on Delaware. Personalities from local radio station Pocono 96.7 will host a six-hour concert, beginning at 1 p.m. “People love that they can have a leisurely afternoon right by the water and listen to artists from around the region,” said event coordinator Gil Coronado, who prefers to manage talent and events that involve charities and community outreach. “We all have a responsibility to give back to the / 76 /

community, and this is really a wonderful, very tight-knit community,” said Coronado. In its first year, Shawnee Riverfest raised enough money to support the local Salvation Army for two months. With the help of Pocono 96.7, attendance tripled the second year, and the amount donated to the Salvation Army increased accordingly. “They made such a huge contribution,” Coronado said of the radio station’s personalities. He added that, like event host Shawnee Inn, “Pocono 96.7 is another organization that really believes in the community aspect of the event.” Coronado has lived in the area for 14 years and enjoys working with so many compassionate people to produce what he

It is less than two hours from Philadelphia, an hour and 20 minutes due west of New York City, and just two hours northeast of Harrisburg. “Working with the Shawnee Inn has been an incredible experience for me,” said Coronado. “They are all about the community and are very professional to work with.” He noted that he is grateful that the resort provides the grounds at a time of the year that weddings and golf are also in full swing. Admission and parking for Shawnee Riverfest III are free, though a $10 dona-
