Our annual trip to Latrobe for Steelers Training Camp is always a special time with the family…read more The grounds are always well maintained which can't be easy considering the thousands of visitors each year. There are plenty of fun and free activities for kids of all ages including passing, catching, running obstacle courses. Past football greats are available for pictures and autographs. Always a fun time meeting Steelers greats! The volunteer staff is always friendly and helpful with any questions you may have. I love the "behind the scenes" look at the future team's talent. You really get to see all the hard work that goes into the games on Sundays. After practice the kids and adults to gather around the practice fields to get a glimpse of the players up close and if you're lucky enough you may get a few autographs to make your experience that much better! It's also cool to interact with fellow Steelers fans that visit from all over the world, it's unbelievable the passion of Steelers Nation! Highly recommended and look forward to returning for years to come! Here We Go Steelers!!!

I came here for another Steelers training camp and brought my wife for her first. She loved it. The…read morecampus is beautiful and all the staff are amazing. It's a must on the bucket list.

Valley School in Ligonier is a K through 9 private institution in a beautiful mountain setting. It…read moreis small, but well endowed. The 9th grade graduation today was for 17 kids, while last year it was only 5. My son was here for the past two years, and it is obvious that he has benefited from the experience. The school is highly regarded for it academics, as well as the time spent bring out the unique individuality of each young person. The commencement comments by the Head of School were about "Voice." The collective, the reflective/inner, and the outer expression of who you are. With a class so small it was clear that she knew everyone well enough to be speaking intimately to them while letting the rest of us see what was most important to their mission. The growth the kids have endured and internalized is palpable. That they have learned lessons beyond the classroom is evident in how they appear to truly care for each other. Job well done!

I am a current student at penn highlands and I love the college, the employees, the professors, and…read morethe atmosphere. The professors are always there to help you no matter what you need and the employees are very friendly. Penn highlands is a very safe place to go to school, and you will get a good quality education. The tuition is affordable (although I am there on a full ride) and the class sizes are perfect. The credits from penn highlands are very credible and transfer to other universities very well. I am studying early childhood education and am transferring for special education and my entire degree will transfer to my university without a problem. Now the bookstore prices are beyond outrageous and their employees are not the most friendly, but the college is great!

As a young girl I attended this church several times per week until I left home as an adult. I keep…read moremy membership alive, even though I have lived hours away. My Mom was an active member of this church for more years than I can count. My fondest memories now are of the mother and daughter banquets held in the church basement and of one Sunday school teacher who also sold shoes and tried to get all of us into talking our mom's into buying shoes from him. Praise the lord! My Mom recently passed on and it was her wishes to be cremated with no prior viewing and for no funeral services. She did say that we were not to mourn her death but to celebrate her life. We called the church and said that we would like to have a celebration memorial service for my mom. They were so much help and so kind in putting this together for us. The ladies of the church all called and said please let us do all the cooking and wow did they ever cook! The Pastor held a very informal service where he allowed anyone who wanted to get up and tell stories of their memories of mom. What started as tears quickly turned to laughter. My mom was very much loved by many and well over one hundred people showed up for the service. Thank you Rev. Jeff and ladies of the church, it's exactly the way Mom would have wanted it.

I too grew up in this church. I have fond memories of so many of the pastors who served there and…read morethe people we loved. This church is very good at encouraging people to find their niche and serve Christ. I, along with my husband served as Youth Directors and Sunday School teachers, I also served as Vice President of the U.M.W, and secretary of the Administrative Board. Because of our involvement with the youth of the church, we were called to served as camp counselors at Camp Allegheny. My husband was called to be the first lay person to direct a Camp for youth and I served as Secretary of the Board of Directors of Camp Allegheny. This church encouraged our service beyond the church. We were nurtured in their Sunday School classes, as were our children. Our grandson attended Nursery School at Bethany. I highly recommend this church to anyone looking for a nurturing, disciple making church. I am an ordained elder in the United Methodist Church largely because of the spiritual gifts and graces I was encourged to develope as a growing Christian at Bethany.

Everything about Fort Ligonier is incredible! When you first walk in, you check in at the admission counter and get a sticker for your admission. On the left is the George Washington gallery that has interesting artifacts like Washington's pistol from Marquis de Lafayette. There is also an art gallery. Artifacts are clearly labeled and well described, but if you want to dig in deeper, they offer guided tours at various points throughout the day. Even if there isn't a guided tour, the docents stationed throughout love talking about anything you have questions about. On the right hand side is the history gallery which takes you through life at the fort and a history of the area. So much to see and you haven't even ventured to the fort yet! When you decide to see the fort, you meander up a path with lots to see. Recreated cannons and guns, fortifications and guard towers. Once you get to the main area, there are several buildings that you can go in to to get a better sense of what daily life was like at the fort. On select days, they even have costumed interpreters on site to give demonstrations and provide additional insight and history. They are also currently doing some archeological digging to learn even more about the site. It is really neat to think that research is still ongoing after all these years. This is a top notch experience and I highly recommend everyone take the time to come and experience it.
