Well,
Thanksgiving is over and (most of) the halls are decked here at the Australian
Walkabout Inn B&B. This year was a bit different in that we weren’t met
with our usual early-November lull in guests thanks to Sight & Sound’s running Jonah through to the end of the year.
Speaking of
the end of the year…that brings a NEW Year. Back by popular demand is our BOGO.
Stay with us one night in January or February 2013 and add week-night for only
$20.13! Of course, holiday weekends are excluded and some other restrictions
apply, but you really can’t beat this deal!
But wait!!! There’s
lots going on in Lancaster before the end of the year– too much to fully
appreciate in just one day. You’re going to need two or three, at least. And where else to lay your head after a busy
day full of fun things to do? Well, the Australian Walkabout Inn, of course! Currently, we’re offering 25% off a consecutive
3-night stay.
First of all – Shopping!! Outlets,
including Rockvale and Tanger. Not to mention Park City Center, Kitchen Kettle Village, the shops in Downtown Lancaster and a myriad of other choices, both commercial and Amish. Don’t forget to get a little
something for yourself!
Next, we have theater! I’ve already
mentioned Sight & Sound, but there’s also The
Fulton, with a
fabulous production of Singing in the
Rain, but they’re also doing A
Christmas Carol (my personal favorite) on December 1, 8, 15, 22 and 27. The
American Music Theater has its original Christmas show, Home for the Holidays, that’s not to be missed. Dutch Apple Dinner Theatre is currently running a production of A Swingin’ Christmas. And, don’t forget Rainbow Dinner Theatre’s offering of Christmas
In Paradise. Of course, all of these places also offer gift certificates,
so you can pick up gifts for someone special while having a good time yourself.
Historic offerings this time of
year? Just a few…how about Wheatland Yuletide, Historic Poole Forge, or Country Christmas Village?
If you’re interested in trains, we
have just the ‘ticket’! All Aboard Railroad at Landis Valley is a 800+ square
foot display of American Flyer Trains. The Columbia Historic Preservation
Society offers a model train layout of over 1000 square feet depicting Columbia
from the 1920’s to the 1950’s (eight trains running at a time at this display!)
For life-sized trains, you can visit the Strasburg Railroad for their ‘Night Before Christmas Train’ on Friday, December
14th.
After all that excitement, you’re
going to get hungry and you deserve to treat yourself to someplace special.
Some of our favorite places to have dinner include – The Brasserie, The Greenfield Restaurant, Fenz, John J. Jefferies, Checker’s Bistro, Ciro’s, Lancaster Brewing Company or Carr’s. Here again, gift certificates are
available – perfect for stocking stuffers!
So, there you have it! Just the
little extra push you need to schedule that much-needed getaway to Lancaster!
See you soon.
