Sincere thanks to Ed Harris, President & CEO of Discover Lancaster for presenting annual updates at our Merchant Meetings on the state of tourism and what’s new for our small businesses. Discover Lancaster launched an Ice Cream Trail last Spring that enjoyed instant success. They are following up with a Coffee Trail that will include City of Lancaster favorites, Rachel’s Creperie, Square One, Aura Espresso, Butter and Bean, Prince Street Coffee, and more
Building on the momentum, they recently launched the Lancaster County Craft & Cork Trail that will take you to City of Lancaster favorites, Our Town Brewery, A Concrete Rose, Isaac’s Craft Kitchen & Brewery, and Cartel Brewing & Blending!
