Itinerary:
10:30 a.m. - 12:30 p.m. Arrive Kitchen Kettle for the 7 Sweets & Sours Festival in Intercourse, Pennsylvania. This festival is a tribute to one of the most intriguing aspects of Pennsylvania Dutch cuisine where the bounty of the garden is preserved as delectable condiments and relishes. A common aspect of meals, especially maintained by Amish families today, is a centuries-old emphasis on the seven sweets and seven sours. Seven various pickled foods, relishes and spreads were laid out on the table alongside the starchy, hearty, filling dishes as part of the evening meal. These delicacies were enjoyed as accompaniments or by themselves.

1:00 p.m. Arrive Hershey Farms Restaurant in Ronks, Pennsylvania for the annual Whoopie Pie Festival. The recipe for whoopie pies has its origins with the Amish, and in Lancaster County, it is not uncommon to find roadside farm stands offering these desserts. These cake-like whoopie pies were considered a special treat because they were originally made from leftover batter. According to Amish legend, when children would find these treats in their lunch bags, they would shout "Whoopie!"

Fried chicken picnic lunch, included, to be eaten under the tent.

Activities to be enjoyed are:
• Whoopie Pie Checkers
• Whoopie Yell Off
• Amateur Whoopie Pie Eating Contest

4:00 p.m. Depart for home.

5:30-6:00 p.m. Approximate arrival home.
