Amish Family-Style Dining

You'll want to arrive with an empty stomach! Sit down to an authentic thresher meal in an Amish home, or gather your family at an Amish restaurant. There is not enough to say about the amazing eats and treats available when you sit down for an Amish-style meal. You won't believe the pies, the pretzels, and the fried chicken. Is your mouth watering yet?

Dutch Kernel Popcorn

While popcorn garlands are an amazing Christmas Tradition, sometimes it's nicer to just have a piping-hot bowl of popcorn next to a fireplace. And with over 50 flavors of gourmet Popcorn, Dutch Kernel Popcorn can provide!  Go and enjoy free samples of excellent popcorn so you know you'll love what you are getting.

Blue Gate Performing Arts Center

Offering over 100+ National Touring Concerts and Performances, the Blue Gate Performing Arts Center is an amazing place to go for concerts, events and other shows open to the public. The 1500-seat center was built with a focus on the viewer experience and strived for every seat to be the best seat in the house. Go and experience a night of music, fun, and holiday cheer at the Blue Gate Performing Arts Center!

Noel

Christmas is without a doubt the most special time of the year, and we are proud and honored to share with you the real reason we celebrate Christmas, the birth of our Savior, Jesus Christ! “Noel” features one of the largest living nativities anywhere, complete with a re-creation of the stable and manger in Bethlehem where the savior was born.
