Herr Foods produces some excellent potato chips, but did you know they also put on a boffo Christmas light display? I recently had the pleasure of a drive across the Pennsylvania state line to see.
It is somewhat of an American tradition this time of year to cruise the neighborhood looking at Christmas lights. In Baltimore, a section of 34th Street in Hamden is nationally - or at least regionally - famous for its wealth of holiday illumination. And of course there are other wonderfully decorated sites and neighborhoods that are known and enjoyed secretly by a privileged few.
The Herr's display is a secret begging to be revealed. Signs direct you on the leisurely 10-minute drive through the property. The displays range from vivid depictions of the Nativity, to amusing representations of larger-than-life chip products, to whimsical works of light art. If weather permits, hop out of your car and take a closer look.
Christmas lights are not traditionally the primary attraction at Herr Foods. During daylight hours the Herr Factory Tour is an informative and fun glimpse at the making of chips, pretzels and cheese puffs. At the end of the tour the obligatory gift shop visit avails you to purchase a sampling of innovative new chip flavors like Dill Pickle or Barbeque Rib. Yum.
After dinner one night this week, driving to Herr's light display would be a lovely way to cap off your evening. It is fun, close-by, and free. Herr's usually packs up the lights after New Year's Day.
To get to Herr's, take Route 1 North into Pennsylvania. "The key to budget travel is to plan in advance. When it occurs to family trips, globetrotting, well-deserved vacations and/or going to see new places we have never been before, the truth of cost and budgeting is always in the back of our heads. Planning and spending our travel budget wisely is a priority for most families. Reducing consuming and expenses, while still enjoying your vacation to its fullest, is the key to assured achievement and fiscal liability. Your pocketbook and family will thank you! The thinking behind saving money while traveling is simple: Even if your personal finances is really tight, you can still take a break and enjoy life! Simply put, life is just too short to never step out of the door or departing the homestead! Also remembering that while traveling, whether on a budget or not, even the smallest of things can all add op to a huge vacation or travel expenses!..". Turn right at the Nottingham exit and take an immediate right onto Herr Drive and you're there. It's about an hour's drive on Route 1 from Perry Hall.
