Our first stop the Coal Miners Café in Jennerstown for a home cooked meal and their famous gob cake for dessert. The Mountain Playhouse was just down the road for us to enjoy the production “Million Dollar Quartet”. The red-hot musical inspired by the famed recording session that brought together Elvis Presley, Carl Perkins, Jerry Lee Lewis and Johnny Cash for the first and only time. This was one show that you didn't want to miss!
The first stop on this adventure was at Atria's in Fox Chapel for an amazing dinner. Then 100 of us headed to the city to experience the phenomenon of Disney’s THE LION KING. We marveled at the breathtaking spectacle of animals brought to life by award-winning director Julie Taymor, whose visual images that we will remember forever. 
The Lincoln Highway, our nation’s first coast-to-coast highway, stretched from New York City to San Francisco in 1913. It’s the one route that changed America forever – marking the birth of popular American tourism – vacationing by automobile.
Raystown Lake in Huntingdon County, Pennsylvania, is the largest lake that’s entirely within Pennsylvania. We enjoyed a plated lunch in the Garden Room at The Lake Raystown Resort before heading out on the Proud Mary to explore the lake. The site of the mountains rising around you and the birds and other wildlife on the lake shore offer an enchanting look into the natural beauty of the area as it twists and turns through the valleys. 
The Palace Theater in Greensburg is where we were entertained by comedienne Vicki Lawrence. She is one of the most beloved television personalities of her generation. The show was a mixture of stand-up comedy, music and observations about real life. Also, the visit from Mama is always a treat! After the show we stopped at the Lamplighter Restaurant for dinner. 
We headed to the city to explore the beauty and wonders of nature at Phipps, encompassing 15 acres including a 14-room glasshouse and 23 distinct gardens. We enjoyed a guided tour and had time to explore on our own. On the way home we enjoyed lunch at the Tarentum Station Grill. Hope to see you on our next adventure.
Some of our staff set out on Route 839 in Dayton to make a difference. Education is an important tool. People who are aware of the dangers of litter often make more of an effort to dispose of their trash properly. Quick removal of litter keeps it from growing into an unmanageable dump site. Be the change and make a difference!
