Things to Do

On Saturday afternoon, September 17, you will have free time between 1 pm and 7 pm. There are many options for spending your time. Lunch and dinner will be on your own…but in Amish country, our experience is that only one meal may be required! Here are some things to check out as you plan your free time.

I have personally seen this original musical, written specifically for the Blue Gate Theater. It is funny, heart-warming and very much worth the time and money. Especially if you like musicals! –Cathy Reich
