Laurel Caverns was created as the results of a 50-foot thick layer of Loyalhanna Limestone, plenty of precipitation due to its location on Chestnut Ridge, an abundance of groundwater, thick forest soils, and rocks that create pathways. Outside of the caverns, you might see Pittsburgh on a clear day.

2

OHIOPYLE STATE PARK

PA’s largest State Park features 20,500 acres of incredible vistas and views. Be sure to see the Ohiopyle Falls and Ferncliff Peninsula from the park’s observation deck, and experience the panoramic view of the Youghiogheny River Gorge - PA’s deepest from Baughman Rock Overlook.

INSIDER’S TIP!

Favorite Festivals for Families 1

PA Maple Festival. This is one SWEET festival with lots of old-fashioned fun activities around the springtime ritual of maple syrup production. Horse and tractor pulls, a quilt show, living history tours, and lots of fluffy pancakes topped with the authentic sweet maple concoction make this a not-to-miss event.

2

Pittsburgh Renaissance Festival. Merry Olde England comes alive in late summer with jousters, jugglers, minstrels and more! Stroll through the village with Robin Hood and Queen Elizabeth. Music, games, artisans and lots of hearty food – try the turkey leg on a stake or macaroni and cheese on a stick.

3

Living Treasures’ Night at the Zoo. An October moon and torch-lit paths light the way to see how

exotic and wild animals live at night. Don’t be afraid by the animals’ night calls or the glowing eyes of the big cats and alligators, they’re just happy to see you! Non-scary Halloween costumes encouraged.

EVENTS

Saint Vincent College

PITTSBURGH STEELERS

TRAINING CAMP

2015 marks the 50th consecutive summer that the Pittsburgh Steelers have held their annual training camp on the Saint Vincent College campus in Latrobe. Saint Vincent is the second-oldest training camp site in the NFL, and one that has been recognized by sports journalists and football fans as their favorite. One visit to training camp and it’s easy to see why. The beautifully kept and tranquil campus is surrounded by a spectacular mountainscape. Fans have unprecedented access to viewing players during practice either by sitting on a bleacher or stretching out on a grassy bank.

Both are within close proximity of the field. Steelers Training Camp is free to attend and spans approximately three weeks, beginning late July.

Fun for the ENTIRE FAMILY Tips for Training Camp

1

2

Typically held the first Friday night of training camp week, the team leaves campus and heads to Latrobe Memorial Stadium for a night practice beginning at 7pm. Bring a Sharpie and get there early, players will sign autographs before the practice.

Kids can feel like they are on the team when they punt, pass, kick, and take part in a timed 40-yard dash in the Steelers Experience area. Other activities include face painting, a mock locker room photo opportunity and perhaps a surprise visit by a player.

DON’T MISS THE “FRIDAY NIGHT

LIGHTS” PRACTICE

“STEELERS EXPERIENCE” FOR KIDS

BEST TIME TO GET AN AUTOGRAPH

The best chance of snagging an autograph is after the open practice which ends at 5pm. Want an autograph on something fresh and new? Head to the campus bookstore or the Merchandise Tent for the latest Steelers gear. Practices open to the public usually run from 3-5pm. The public has access to the grounds beginning at 1pm.

4 Fans are welcome to bring 5 Book early! In addition to FOOD

SERIOUSLY SCARY TO NOT-SO-SCARY PLACES From seriously scary to not-so-scary places, you’ll find a great selection of haunted and Halloweenthemed attractions throughout the Laurel Highlands.

Most open when the sun goes down and an eerie chill is in the air.

Check out www.laurelhighlands.org for dates and times, and to find a complete list of all of the family-fun, Halloween activities in the region.

Fall Fun in the Laurel Highlands 1

Huston’s Haunted Hollow. From the Haunted Boarding House and Twisted Barn to the Haunted Hayride, Toxic Swamp Walk and Dead End Cornfield – this is one of the scariest places around.

2

Haunted Hayloft’s New Barn of Vengeance. Fright seekers

say this is one of the scariest haunted houses around. Activities are based on the true story of a local murder that took place in 1891.

3

Haunted Hillside. Experience what it would be like to be in a scary movie. A former Hollywood creative director and professional make-up artist set the stage for this terrifyingly good time.

4

Allen’s Haunted Hayrides. A fun and not-too-scary hayride through the Laurel Highlands countryside. Nightly bonfires are an enjoyable way to end an autumn evening.

5

Idlewild’s Hallowboo. A little spooky and fun, there’s nothing

frightful about this October event. Trick-or-treat through Story Book Forest, experience Halloween entertainment, and a whole lot more.

ALL THE

WRIGHT PLACES What began as the Kaufmann family’s favorite wooded picnic spot and swimming hole, became the iconic setting for Frank Lloyd Wright’s Fallingwater, the famous mountain retreat built over a waterfall. Guided tours of Fallingwater are unique as visitors are permitted to enter into the rooms and not stand behind a rope looking in. There are many wonderful tour options available for the house and its stunning grounds. Reservations are encouraged as tours sell out during certain times of the year.

To The Market We Go The Laurel Highlands is home to some of Pennsylvania’s most beautiful farms owned by second and third generation farmers. Many of these hard-working farmer entrepreneurs sustain their farms by growing and selling their bounty at area farmer’s markets. From fresh produce and flowers to plants, grass-fed beef, salsas, jams, hearth-baked breads and handmade crafts, head to one of the region’s seasonal outdoor markets for some fresh-from-the-farm goodies or simply to relax and enjoy the hospitality.

Ligonier Country Market | May – October (Saturday mornings)

One of Western Pennsylvania’s oldest farmer’s markets, residents and visitors alike eagerly wait for the market to open each year. More of a special event than a market, you’ll find more than 100 vendors selling produce, flowers, artisan breads and cheeses, and quality crafts at super affordable prices. Discover a handmade wood-carved dining room table and the fresh flowers to go on top! Held at the end of Ligonier’s West Main Street, each market features special entertainment, an educational workshop and hospitality tent!

Somerset County Farmers’ Market | June – October (Saturday mornings & Wednesday afternoons)

Somerset County boasts one of PA’s largest collections of family farms that have remained intact. Some of these farms are also leading maple syrup producers. You’ll find authentic maple syrup along with fresh eggs, meats, veggies, and more at Georgian Place, Somerset.

Stone Villa Wine Cellars

TOUR A WINERY & SPEND THE DAY

Wineries are terrific places to relax, bask in the sun, and take-in scenic vineyards, all while savoring exceptional wines.

Visitors to the Laurel Highlands will not be disappointed in the selection of quality wineries that offer tastings of awardwinning wines, special events and more.

Plan to spend THE DAY

1

2

Sample award-winning wines named in honor of the historic route (National Road, US 40) and notable events that took place a stone’s throw from the highest mountaintop vineyard east of the Rockies. Tastings of Washington Tavern White, Jumonville Glen Red and Fort Necessity wines take place inside a restored Queen Anne-style bank barn. The winery offers a variety of culinary events throughout the year along with seasonal bonfires and hay wagon rides to the vineyards.

Situated on 150 picturesque acres with a pond, Stone Villa’s beautiful cut-stone winery is the focal point for tastings and outdoor special events. Guests are encouraged to bring a picnic, buy a bottle of wine and enjoy the outdoor music performances.

Not only are Stone Villa’s wines tasty, but the neighbors are nice too - an original Frank Lloyd Wright designed home, The Duncan House, is just up the road and can be rented for overnight stays.

GLADES PIKE WINERY Somerset, PA

The Laurel Highlands’ oldest winery, ca. 1995, began with a Somerset County couple’s interest in a local winemaking club. They learned a lot over the years and hired the right winemakers, who combine modern technology with the traditional artisan method of hand-pressing small batches of grapes to create award-winning wines. Located along Route 31 in the heart of farm country, Glades Pike is a must-stop spot for wine lovers.

Greendance is situated on a 250-year-old historic farm that became famous for its raspberry crop and scrumptious berry pies.

Many of Sand Hill’s cold climate fruits are now used to make Greendance’s award-winning wines and ports. The winery also offers a market where guests can purchase cheeses, crackers and other tasty morsels and dine al fresco in the beautiful gardens while relaxing and listening to live music.

Greenhouse Winery offers over 20 different kinds of wines!

Customer favorites include Diamond and Holiday wines, such as “Harvest Moon” and “Greenhouse Cheer.”

In addition to their delicious wine selection, Greenhouse Winery can also personalize bottle labels with pictures and messages to help you celebrate special occasions! Be sure to check out their special events, which are offered almost every weekend throughout the year.

TIE THE KNOT IN

THE LAUREL HIGHLANDS Some couples choose to marry at the place where they have the most fun, and for many, that’s the Laurel Highlands.

The region’s striking natural landscape, rugged mountains, and charming towns create the perfect setting for where they want to tie the knot. Couples and Wedding Planners will find a large selection of unique wedding venues to suit any taste and budget.

Celebrating your BIG DAY

NEMACOLIN WOODLANDS RESORT Farmington

2

OAK LODGE

This award-winning resort offers a variety of stunning backdrops, from a formal ballroom to outdoor rustic venues perfect for engagement parties, rehearsal dinners, wedding ceremonies and receptions. Celebrity Wedding Planner, David Tutera, was so impressed with Nemacolin after coordinating a wedding reception there that the resort is now on his preferred vendors list.

Stahlstown

Imagine you and your guests having an 18th century village complete with a secluded setting, log chapel, tavern and rustic reception hall all to yourselves.

Couples can rent the scenic grounds and charming buildings for the day or the entire wedding weekend.

On-site accommodations are also available for the wedding party and family.

GREEN GABLES

Jennerstown

An enchanting setting for both indoor and outdoor weddings, fairy tales do come true at Green Gables.

The Tuscany Room with its cathedral ceiling, massive stone fireplace, and large window overlooking the lush gardens and stream is magical. A mature stand of evergreens, stone terraces and beautiful landscaping provide the perfect backdrop for outdoor ceremonies and receptions.

Fun is always in season at Nemacolin Woodlands.

At Nemacolin, there is no “off season.” Our one-of-a-kind resort is perfect for everything from a relaxing retreat, to a fun adventure, like trying out our 3,000’ Fatbird SuperFlyer dueling zip line. We have other great family activities too, like skiing and snow tubing, bowling and even a Wildlife Academy. But we also feature championship golf courses, a Jeep® Off-Road Driving Academy, an amazing restaurant collection, and a world-class spa. To book a quick getaway or a long weekend, call 866.386.6957 or visit nemacolin.com.
