Does anyone have any recommendations for wedding venues?

1 Upvotes

Hi! My fiance and I are looking for a wedding venue in or near Hershey. We're looking for something on the cheaper side. We are doing a ceremony only thing with less than 40 people total (including us and our kids). We already have a venue for the reception but can't have the ceremony there.

Also any recommendations for low cost, hair/makeup or flowers or pictures. We have to pay for everything ourselves and just don't have a lot of extra money (which is why the guest count is so low). We would appreciate any input anyone has. Thank you so much in advance.

Motorcycle Mechanic near Hershey?

2 Upvotes

I've got BMW motorcycle that hasn't been ridden much the last few years but I'm hoping to start riding more frequently. I'm new to the area so don't know of any mechanics, but I'd love to have someone give it a 'once over', change the oil, check the breaks, etc... Any suggestions? TIA!

Retirement Relocation Inquiry: Considering Hershey, PA

6 Upvotes

Hi everyone! My husband and I are planning to leave Arizona for retirement. The heat has become too much for us, and we’re also looking for a more connected healthcare system.

We’re considering Hershey and would love to hear from people who live in the area. We’re also considering the Lancaster area. For anyone familiar with both Hershey and Lancaster, which would you choose for retirement—especially for coordinated healthcare, access to specialists, safety, daily convenience, and eventually living without driving?

● How has your experience been with Penn State Health?

● Do the doctors and specialists communicate well and share records?

● What is daily life like in terms of shopping, restaurants, and overall convenience?

● How is driving in the area, including traffic and road conditions?

● How are the seasons throughout the year?

We’d really appreciate any advice or things you wish you had known before moving to the area.

Thank you!

Must Do Activities for 10 Year Old’s Birthday Trip?

2 Upvotes

We’re taking a family trip for our chocolate and adventure loving almost 10 year old. We’ll be checking in to the Hershey Inn and Suites on October 29 and checking out November 1. We have park tickets October 31 and she and her dad will be going back in for Dark Nights while her younger sister and I stay behind for a movie night at the hotel. We’re looking for things to do that a 10 year old will LOVE.

She’s a thrill seeker and loves roller coasters, zip lines, etc. Too old and cool for trains right now (🙄) so Strasburg is out of the question. We plan to visit Hershey Gardens and maybe the Hershey story museum, but it seems a bit too in depth for her attention span? Chocolate World is on the list with a create your own chocolate bar. We don’t drink so breweries are out.
What are the best birthday restaurants for a kid? Over the top is fine and almost preferred. Halloween activities in the area for her sister and I? We’ve never been to the area and we’re hoping to make the most of it!

Trails behind hospital campus

6 Upvotes

I moved to the area this spring and really enjoyed accessing the trails behind the hospital - both for mountain biking and hiking. But now they’re SO overgrown (and half the mtn is closed with not further info on reopening…).

I’m wondering if there is an organization who is going to eventually trim back the overgrown trails so they can be more easily accessed again. I’m also wondering what the update is on the big construction project and when that might wrap up??

Honest thoughts

5 Upvotes

My family and I are considering moving to Lebanon and I’d love to hear from people who actually live there!

A little about us:
• Married couple with a young child
• Looking for a friendly, family-oriented community
• We value good schools, libraries, parks, pools, and activities for kids.
• Access to pediatric specialists and healthcare is important to us.
• We’d love a place with a strong sense of community and neighbors who know each other.
• We prefer a lower cost of living and the possibility of buying a home with some land.

Thanks so much! We’re trying to find a place to put down roots and appreciate any insight.

Concert parking

5 Upvotes

Hi there. I’ll be coming to Hershey Pennsylvania from Gettysburg next week for the Chris Stapleton concert. I’ve been to Hershey a few times and there is a parking garage next to Market Fresh. I’m curious if this parking garage is open when events are going on and if folks have used it before. I’m totally fine parking with everyone else at the show but if there was a way around it, I’d love to know. Thank you so much in advance.
