Things for the York Meet "Widows" to do

My wife and kids have been on both of those tours.

I've been to the Harley tour.

Both were worthwhile.

York bills iteslf as the "Factory Tour Capital of the World"

York also has (or had) a fair number of outlet stores.

Gettysburg is about an hour drive. It's only about thirty miles, but the traffic can be significant.

The Eastern TCA has Shuttle Busses going from the Train Show to some of the local shopping malls that leave every hour. There is also a Friday Shopping Trip to an Outlet Mall about 30 miles away.

My daughter is a shopaholic, she has no problems finding things to do.

While we visited the Toy Train Museum last Christmas, we found a doll store/ museum not too far away. Very nice ladies running the place, with an enormous inventory. I know it's not York, but a lot of people hit the museum the Wednesday before (I've been told anyway).

On one trip, before the show began on the fairgrounds, to amuse her, we hit

a pewter figurine shop that is just at the end of Carlisle (to the left as you turn to the

right for the "main" fairgrounds gate).  We also found another one somewhere out

in the countryside northwest of Lancaster.

Somebody mentioned Gettysburg on here...U.S. 30 really needs an upgrade west

to Gettysburg from York...as a major historical center.  May not be possible with all the small town roundabouts...

That is "Carlisle Street" in York, near the York Fairgrounds,  not the town of Carlisle with its own car show fairgrounds.

The real purpose of this post is to suggest things to do for all of the woman sitting in the lobby of the Orange hall waiting while their men attend the meet. Its a pity to see all those supportive wives and partners patiently waiting for 6- 8 hours. They should have some fun that day as well. This way they won't be so crabby when we finally meet up with them for dinner. Without womens activities, you might have a good day at the show but you'll suffer for it later on-LOL.

Where do the buses for the York shopping malls stop at the fairgrounds? IIRC the schedule is that a bus leaves every two hours but to what shopping centers do they go  and when do they return. Schedule anyone?
