I've lived in the Lancaster area since I got married 30+ years ago. It's a wonderful place to live and Lititz has so many fun things to do. Glad you enjoyed your time there.

[@JodiMcClure]

Lititz has so many fun community events. The town is really well run. There's art shows, craft fairs and farmer's markets galore, Taste of Lititz, the Chocolate Walk, the Fire and Ice festival, and a ton of great music venues (including Mickey's Black Box theater.) Chains stores are smartly kept far from the Main Street, and to the North, you've got the super cool Rock Lititz campus and pristine Amish farm land. Plus lots of lovely trails with bike rentals, forge pond, plus our wonderful ducks and wolves! The Cool Small Town title is well deserved!

I FINALLY made it to Lititz and I did every you recommended!!! I gained 5 pounds~ for real! But oh was it worth it! Hey the Olio man suggested with the lemon olive oil I purchased to drizzle it on vanilla ice cream and sprinkle with Himalayan salt~ yum! Not sure if ya’s still have any of the lemon ya bought but try it for it’s delicious! And I caught the Italian festival that was going on in the Lititz spring park last Saturday and it was lovely~ I was telling folks at the different locations that it was because of you two that I was there and they actually remembered ya’s!!!! Thanks for great videos! I only live about 1 1/2 hours north of Lititz yet never went to explore in such depths until after I watched this video so thanks! Praying your puggles are doing well~

[@Rejoicewithsinging]

Oh and just last night I went to get the perogies!!! I bought every kind!!!! I think the owner you all met has now sold the business…

[@chrisd4432]

I was there with my wife and 2 other couples on Saturday as well. We were there for the craft brew fest and heard a reference to the Italian festival but never made it there. If I knew all those beautiful cars were in the park I would have sauntered over. Had a great day though- lunch at the inn, brew fest, Stoll and Wolff distillery, collusion brewery ( crashed a wedding reception upstairs) , the bulls head pub and finally karaoke at the park view hotel then back to the hotel rock Lititz to crash. Getting too old for all that fun….. P.S. we’re about 1.5 hrs east and first visited in 2022 and love it

[@Rejoicewithsinging]

@@chrisd4432 total awesomeness!!! Yes the cars were breathtaking to say the least~ Wowzers yous had a rockin good time! If I had known there was karaoke I would have come in and tore it up! Hahaha~ thanks for the message and I shall walk the fun path yous walked the next time I go back down to Lititz~ I could soo live there and go dip my feet in the spring and watch the ducks daily 👍🤣❤️🙏

[@chrisd4432]

@@Rejoicewithsinging same here. Kind of looking to retire wherever our 17 son ends up after college but if it was out there that would be fine with me. I say this with a complimentary intent but the Parkview hotel karaoke was described as the best dive bar experience ever by two of the people with us....

[@Rejoicewithsinging]

@@chrisd4432 oh hahaha! Well hey maybe we all will run into each other there one day! I am Amy from Pa. Too bad we didn’t catch Katelyn & Howard when they were there! Take good care ~ 👍🙏😁

[@robertshelton9881]

I was there yesterday. I rode my bike on a lovely shaded trail over to Zig's bakery, which is located in a fabulous renovated barn. I had a small lemon meringue pie. I ate the whole thing.

[@nancy9478]

I have ancestors buried there. Its a great small town, especially for fresh pretzels and tasty chocolates.

[@NewstateNomads]

Nancy, we agree! We had a great time in Lititz, and hope to explore more of it soon. Thanks for watching and hope you'll continue on the journey with us. 👍🏻 - Howard

[@wcraig]

We were just talking today about finding places within 300 miles of our home to explore. We will definitely be visiting Lititz!

[@David-jo4gt]

Excellent job on showing us around Lititz. One of the greatest small towns in America.

[@NewstateNomads]

David, agreed and so glad you enjoyed the episode! 👍 - Howard

[@pglen6042]

Delightful video. I want a Philly cheesesteak pierogi.

[@kimcircagirl474]

Wish we could afford the real estate,love live there w/ my hubby and dog🙏,Never Give Up

[@debrahelman4065]

Thank you for sharing this wonderful video featuring my hometown. Lititz is truly the best small town in America!

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

We had never heard of Lititz, but what a cool town! So many unique activities and things to see. You did an amazing job with the pretzels and pierogi! And big congrats on retiring Barry!

[@virginialemm864]

OH MAN!!! You were right warning us if we were the least bit hungry! Yum, yum, YUM! Love pirogies, but getting the, freshly made must’ve been sooooo good! I absolutely LOVE IT when you bring us along to see and experience these small towns and/or out of the way places many of us could not get the chance to see and experience. NO ONE does it better than you…your professional videography, interesting and beautiful places, and your happy faces each week just makes my day(s). THANK YOU! Until next time, love you two, Virginia 🥰❤️🥰

[@jackieobrien6958]

Hi there. Thanks so much for the Lititz recommendations. We rode the Harley out today and hit the Tomato pie restaurant then picked up some pierogies for dinner

[@danrandall794]

Another great video. I am weird. Not a big dog person but love love love wolves. Glad places like this exist.

[@NewstateNomads]

Dan, makes sense to us and we're glad there are wild animal sanctuaries, too! Thanks so much for watching.👍 - Howard

[@michaellotito5465]

My Son lives in Lititz, works at Tait, Rock Lititz. Great little town.

[@kimsmelcer8036]

Amazing video. Teared up with the stories about Grandma and the pierogies. This is what America is all about and I love you sharing these stories from the places you are visiting.

[@ready2roamrv289]

Another great visit and travel video. Thank you! I love that the whole town was wishing the postman a happy retirement! So sweet!

[@maryannevogt621]

I forgot to mention that Rock Lititz is in Lititz. It is a large entertainment center. This is where some of your big name stars come to fine tune their stage acts. Rock Lititz does sound, lighting and stage sets. Steve Tyler was seen in Lititz this past year.

[@rinkrinker9501]

If you have the time check out Cape May NJ.

[@karlamartins2761]

Wonderful episode. My brother lived there and loved it very much. The food and history is amazing. The Wolf Sanctuary was beautiful!

[@MYJ61]

If you ever are in the Richmond, VA area, there is “The Olive Oil Taproom” with quite an assortment available.

[@chrisd4432]

Even though we’re only 1.5 hrs east in bucks county PA I’d never heard of Lititz until 2022 when I read an article about it. So the family and I visited in 9/22 and have been back multiple times. July 4th is a family trip and the brew fest for the adults. On my short list for retirement…

[@catowner22]

Thank you for showing us this town, we have been by there and have never stopped. Will make a point to soon. FYI the oldest 4th of July continues celebration actually is in Bristol RI, it was stated in 1785.

[@MsWindowgirl]

Thanks for your FYI. I was going to provide the same info. I grew up going to Bristol's July 4th parade and celebration and it is their claim to fame.

[@grillinandchillinwithdeb]

Have visited many times and now need to go back. Thanks for sharing it was awesome ❤

[@NewstateNomads]

Love to hear that! It feel like that kind of place for us, too. Can't wait to return and explore more! 👍 -Howard

[@ladikmk]

What a fascinating place to visit. Wolves, pretzels, pierogi, chocolate, and ice cream - love them all! I grew up making and eating LOTS of pierogi. My Dad was Russian and we probably made thousands of them through the years. Those and piroshki and verenelki are my favourites. Thanks for taking me on a trip down memory lane tonight. Hope you're all well. Safe travels!

[@PastorRichardAllenFarmer]

I’m a new subscriber and am enjoying your content AND your presentation style. Outstanding!!!

[@Rejoicewithsinging]

Ya’s got my mouth watering!!! I visited Lititz over the winter just to walk around and see the pretty Christmas lights and the funny ducks and now I plan to go back and visit ALL the places yous were at and eat everything you both ate because my belly won’t stay quiet until I satisfy it with pretzels and Wilbur buds and ice cream and tomatoe pie and olive oil and pirogies!! Yum 😋

[@dianebalinski3390]

Putting it on our summer of fun schedule. Thank you!!

[@maryannevogt621]

Enjoyed your video on Lititz and some of the things it offers. We're from Lancaster so Lititz is in our back yard. Also, the Wolf Sanctuary is always interesting. We sponsored a wolf one year and went to visit him at the sanctuary. You said that your going to Hershey. So you are eating your way through our area. Don't forget shoofly pie and our whoopie pies. Safe travels.

[@barbaradowney4207]

WHAAAAT? You were in Lititz...Lived here since 1989, and it is a very cool little town (although it keeps growing and growing). Did you visit Dosie Dough right next to Olio for any coffee, it's a great place too. Just going to tell you Lancaster here is not pronounced like Lancaster everywhere else I have been...phonetically it is Lang-kiss-ter...guess it's a Dutchy thang...I would've loved seeing you two around town.

[@garygrow8373]

We live in Colorado but visit Lititz often. I have to stop at Dosie Dough for coffee and a pastry each visit. Enjoyed the video. The 4 of July celebration is not to be missed.

[@chrisbranham1608]

Great episode!! And, what great timing as I've been trying to find some new places to visit for shorter weekend trips. I've definitely added this to my list!

[@corytheexplorer]

You forgot to visit the Lititz Historical Foundation. It’s our history that makes us so unique.

[@Colleen1978]

Wow! Great video! Thoroughly enjoyed. Thanks for all your hard work! Where did you stay here? We have 40 foot fifth wheel. We you staying someplace we might fit? Safe travels!!

[@TravelSmallLiveBig]

I love tours like the pretzel one! Ohhh the olive oils & balsamics - we love buying local ones too. If you are in the Lodi, CA area, Consumnes River Farm has fabulous ones - wines too 😜

[@johneason6540]

Great and interesting🎉

[@williamthawley9251]

the one place in littitz area we have not visited is the wolf sancturary. when you leave there go to the wolf sanctuary in nj, lakota. and I hope you scored some wilbur buds for your trips.

[@NewstateNomads]

We definitely got to try some Wilbur buds! Interesting that there are dueling small chocolates in similar shapes (Buds and Kisses) both from Pennsylvania! 👍 - Howard

[@williamthawley9251]

my fathers best friend was a vp for wilbur buds, we got to enjoy theym quite a bit. @@NewstateNomads

[@Thesaltymedic36]

I’m a one man wolf pack 😂 Great video 👍🏼

[@shannonalward217]

You guys just always find the coolest places ever!! What an adorable little town. 💖 If you see really weird analytics on this episode, it’s because I plan on replaying how to shape a pretzel, which is something I really want to prefect! You guys did great. 🥨💖

[@bjm9071]

I used to go to Lititz when the chocolate factory was still there. To me, Litiz = Wilbur!

[@chaotictattoo]

With how you pronounced Lancaster I can tell you aren't from around here lol. It's all good though. We live down the road in Lebanon and everyone has their way of saying it. Enjoy!

[@SpykersB]

I would be buying a bag of every pretzel flavour, n then stuffing my rv freezer with every perogie flavour from these shops lol oink 🐷! 🍻

[@tompfeiffer2755]

Kaitlyn, the best 🥨 by far!
