Came back this year and it's even better. Everything in my prior review is the same. Still great…read morefood, still great churches, and still a great community festival. The one noticeable addition to the festival is that more ethnicities are now involved. I missed last year, so this may have happened last year, but I was unaware. It's a great mix of multicultural awareness. And oh my god, it's a great mix of food to get. The food selection has expanded and you can get food from the churches, from street vendors, and now from food trucks from around the area. I left here this year so full of so many different foods that I could have had the UN in my stomach. My stomach was at harmony. Too bad that this only happens once a year and not every single weekend.

Today we went to the library and met a therapy horse, played in a bouncy house, had our face painted, played hop scotch, colored pictures, and did banana split and Daniel Tiger crafts. There is something for everyone. We also enjoyed watching all of the entertainment and singers. And of course we had to get a banana split! There are many food trucks and different vendors selling homemade items too. All and all it's a great time!

Bella Terra Vineyards is a winery, restaurant, and event venue in the small town of Hunker in…read moreWestmoreland County. It sells a variety of dry and sweet wines (e.g., red, white, rose, sparkling, and cider), cocktails, mocktails, and beers. Some vineyards are on the grounds as are many barrels and bottles of wines. The restaurant has both indoor seating and seasonal outdoor seating in lakeside cabanas and winter igloos. It is open for brunch/lunch and dinner. It is a nice setting for daily dining as well as special events such as weddings, bridal and baby showers, and private parties. Furthermore, the website lists activities such as bingo, painting and candle-making classes, live music with dancing, and more. For my husband and me, I made a reservation for lunch in an igloo. Our igloo was large enough to fit eight people and cost $50 plus foods and drinks. A larger "party dome" fits up to 14 people and has a fee of $75. The temperatures outside were very cold, but our igloo was kept warm by an electric fireplace and a zippered door. Throughout our meal, our waitress provided timely and friendly service. The Bistro menu listed shareables (e.g., pretzel sticks and charcuterie board), several smash burgers, several flatbreads, mains (e.g., fish and chips, cajun chicken pasta, and quinoa bowl), several salads, several handhelds (e.g., turkey melt, veggie wrap, and Italian panini), many sides, and a couple of desserts. Prices were moderate. (The menus for Sunday Brunch and a group Gathering differ.) The waitress first brought our Sweet Wine-Cookie Flight (4.5 stars), which consisted of the following pairs: Diamond Reo with Brown Sugar Pop Tart, Sweet Finley with Chocolate Salted Caramel, Riesling with Cookies and Cream, and Rose Cider with Strawberry Crunch. The wine glasses came in a wooden box, which was slightly too small, so I needed several minutes of time to carefully pull each wine glass out of the box. I, however, did enjoy the sweet flavors of the wines and cookies. Next our waitress brought out our shareable and two mains. The Hummus Plate (4.5 stars) consisted of fresh and tasty hummus, feta, olives, top seedz crackers, tomatoes, cucumbers, green and red peppers, carrots, celery, and tzatziki. My main course was Crab Cakes (4 stars) with a substituted side of salad. Two crab cakes were a decent size of 4 ounces each, but I would have preferred more crab meat. I liked the garlic aioli. My husband's main course was the Cali Burger (4 stars) with a side of fries. In a brioche bun, a beef patty was topped with fontina cheese, applewood-smoked bacon (which he would prefer be crispier), avocado, avocado ranch, lettuce, and pickles (which he commented were nicely crunchy and sweet-sour) (no tomato at his request). The total price for the flight, shareable, two mains, and a soda was $98 plus sales tax and tip (plus the earlier $50 fee for the igloo).

This review is of the fairgrounds, NOT the Christmas show vendors…read more The parking lot would benefit from gravel walkways. It was a muddy, sloppy mess. I'm glad I wore duck boots. The bathrooms were horrible. I am not referring to port-a-johns. I am referring to the brick and mortar female bathroom. In the ceiling is a hole with a bird's nest poking through. All the corners had extensive spider webs. Three stalls??? Perhaps they need to re-think that number. The ability to take a trolley ride was nice touch.

Do you have to be a redneck to enjoy the county fair? Not necessarily, but it helps. Seriously…read morethough, it's more helpful if you are a firm believer and supporter of 4-H clubs, agriculture and the farming community for starters. A trip to the county fair should not be overlooked and taken for granted. One can easily find themselves on activity overload in no time at all, so be sure to pace yourself. The fair is held for a full week if a one day visit is not enough. If you have never been to a county fair, here is a list of what one should expect: Lots of food vendors. Healthy eating is not an option but you should check each place for safe sanitary conditions and practices. You will see lots of animals. Mainly farm animals, though I did see 2 camels at the petting zoo exhibit. I enjoyed visiting the rabbit section and seeing the various horse breeds. Lots of exhibits. Mainly items that were submitted for judging. Photographs, homemade wine and beer, quilts, baked goods, floral arrangements, canned fruits and vegetables, quiltwork, crochet and needlework, and so much more. You will hear live music, watch a tractor pull, demolition derby or bottle rocket launch, attend a square dance social, observe milking parlor demonstrations, watch live bees at work, or just simply opt to find a nice spot to sit, and people-watch. You never know, you might just spot a few rednecks in the crowd!

I had no real idea what to expect in terms of the building, but I was familiar with their wines. There is a sign for the winery at the end of the road and you enter up a long driveway (with several signs warning about not bringing in outside food and drink). I had no idea that their grounds were as massive as they were! There was even a sign for a walking trail. I visited on a Monday in the winter, so I wasn't able to take advantage of their beautiful grounds, but after a great visit, I definitely want to come back in warmer weather and come for one of their events (or even just to enjoy some wine outdoors). They have a nice variety of wines. Many sweet, dry and fruit wines. They also have cocktails and other drinks. I like that more of the specialty establishments are starting to have extended offerings because it makes visiting more accessible to people who might not like wine or beer but still want to enjoy the company of someone who does or a specific event. I went in set on getting a wine slushie (they rotate their flavors, but every one I've tried has been delicious). They allow you to sample basically anything from their menu and you can order wine by the glass, bottle or as tasting flights. When I was there, they were still offering their Valentine's pairing which included four generous pours of red wines each paired with a gourmet chocolate. I really enjoyed the experience and everything was tasty. The service was extremely friendly and knowledgeable. I asked questions about the wines, where the grapes are grown, how they come up with new blends and about events and they answered all of them. Overall, an amazing experience and a place I'll definitely be back to.

The journey to Jennerstown is roughly less than 30 miles from my home and weaves you through the very scenic Laurel Highlands. The pictures on the Playhouse brochure and newsletter does not do this place justice. The playhouse is tucked into a wooded area and is nicely maintained. More importantly, this 393 seat theater is housed in an 1805 restored gristmill. It is also Pennsylvania's oldest professional stock theater, and is one of 12 professional stock theaters remaining in the US today. The cast, live musicians, and musical numbers were absolutely entertaining and amusing. The set design was perfect for the production, and the sound system was crisp and flawless. The Mountain Playhouse is situated next to the award-winning Green Gables Restaurant and makes for a lovely dinner-theater outing.
