I have been there and they had a good scrapping selection but it wasn't organized well and I just wasn't thrilled with the package but....
I lifted this from another site!

Oh cool! I didn't realize they had scrapping stuff! My ILs aren't too far from there! Maybe I'll be able to get there over the summer.

If you don't go on opening day (Sun), make sure you pack an ice chest & stop at the Shady Maple Farm Market! We go a couple times a year to get various bulk foods, but their smoked chicken & turkey is "to die for"!!! Yummy!

Too bad I can't spend any money for a while or I'd suggest we try to go the same day & have lunch at Shady Maple's Smorgasbord. It would be nice to actually meet some DIS'ers face to face!

Probably about 30 minutes from hershey It is more in the Amish area. You could easily make it a fun day. Lancaster is right there. Or if you are a die hard shopper. Reading!
