Return Trip - PA Family Travel Fair Is Back endy Royal, editor of Where & When Pennsylvania and organizer of the fourth annual PA Family Travel Fair, knows that if you want to interest families, you need to appeal to children. With that in mind, Royal has lined up a balloon magic show, a few lovable mascots, reptiles, and a special passport game with a prize designed to make children smile for this year’s fair. The fair, which was first held in 2018, was held virtually in 2020 and canceled in 2021 due to COVID-19 restrictions, but for 2022, the free event will include exhibitors, amusements, food trucks, and opportunities to win prizes.

The return of the annual PA Family Travel Fair will offer opportunities to see mascots, experience magic, and even meet a few Keystone State cowboys.
The last time Clair Leaman planned a “Messiah” Sing-along to be held at Westminster Presbyterian Church in Lancaster, it was the spring of 2020. “We canceled that one,” said Leaman, who, along with others, organizes the Sing-along at Westminster, as well as a Christmas event in Chester County. The Chester County presentation was held again in December of 2021. “We didn’t know what to expect,” said Leaman. “We had a pretty good turnout, and I was amazed because I had no idea what to expect after being gone for two years. The people are still with us and still wanting to sing.”
