Holiday Shopping Begins!

It seems like holiday gift shopping starts a little earlier every year.  With Halloween upon us, and Thanksgiving just a few weeks away, Christmas and Chanukah shopping is in full swing in Lancaster County.  Along with local crafts, foods, antiques, and quilts, the two largest outlet areas certainly take center stage.  Tanger Outlets and Rockvale Square will be welcoming hundreds of thousands of shoppers during the next two months... and with good reason!  With over 100 stores at each of these outlet malls, the selection of quality merchandise is amazing, and the deals are even better!  And by staying at the Apple Bin Inn you'll be within 15 minutes of both!  So plan your shopping spree now... you and your loved ones will be glad you did!



  

Shupp's Grove is a Picker's Paradise!

Among the many wonderful antique shops and markets in Adamstown is our favorite... Shupp's Grove.  Being outdoors among the trees and sun, while picking through table after table of interesting finds, is such a great way to spend an afternoon.  Open Saturday & Sunday, from April through October, Shupp's Grove highlights many specialty weekends to attract pickers from across America (click here for their 2012 schedule).  A tradition since 1962 (yes 50 years!), there's always something great to be found, and at very reasonable prices too!  There's even a nice snack shop, called Friar Tuck's Deli, where they serve homemade soups, sandwiches, and pies.  So make sure you leave time among your myriad of Adamstown antique stops for a few hours at this Lancaster County landmark.  See you there!
