That is a lot,” said Wendy Royal, editor of Where & When Pennsylvania and an organizer of the second PA Family Travel Fair. “For people who live in Pennsylvania, there is so much to do within a short distance. Everyone recognizes Philly and Pittsburgh, but there is so much in the middle people aren’t aware of,” noted Royal. Following the success of the first fair in spring 2018, Royal has lined up exhibitors, along with amusem e n t s f o r c h i l d r e n , f o o d
