Hello Family,
So here we are, down to days to the family reunion. Are you all excited?!! I thought it might be helpful to get you some of the finalized information so that you know where we are meeting and what the plans are.
I have mentioned a few times that I really wanted to plan a fairly loose schedule so that everybody has a place to gather, but if you want to see the local sights, you have the opportunity to do that as well.
Our main gathering place will be at the Hummelstown Swim Club. This is located at 301 Kokomo Ave. Hummelstown, PA The phone number is (717)566-2368. I will give you Nate’s phone number (717)712-5786. (I still need to replace my cell phone. Recent water damage.) Basically, from RT. 422, drive into the square in Hummelstown. (It’s a very cute town. You will pass the High School on your right.) Go straight through the light. You pass under a bridge and take the second right after the bridge. That is Kokomo Ave. Just follow this street through the neighborhood. It will veer to the right. Near the end of the road will be the pool on your right. There will be a sign up as you enter that shows where the Bliss Family reunion is. We will meet in a covered pavilion. For each time we use this pavilion, there will be a $3 fee per person and those over 60 will need to pay $1. Please be prepared to pay this when you arrive as we will need to pay each time we use the pavilion.
On Friday night, Nate and I will provide dinner. You will be able to use all the pool facilities when we are there. We’re planning on dinner around 5:00. Friday is a night to see everybody, eat and just have a good time. The pool closes at 9:00 p.m.
Saturday, I thought I would reserve the Hershey Trolley to take us on a tour of Hershey. This gives you a little history on the town as well as a cute little show. You will be able to see some areas you may want to tour more in depth later. This will be the only thing I will book as a group. As long as the group is over 20, we can get a discount and I can reserve it up to a week in advance. I can reserve without payment, so if you choose to go, please be prepared to pay when you arrive. I am planning on the earliest tour, which is 9:45 a.m. Saturday morning. Please let me know if you would like to participate in this and I will make the reservation. I listed prices on the blog, so if you need specifics, you may check there, or go to the Chocolate World website.
I will give you a quick rundown on places you may want to see on Friday night when we gather, but if you check on the Hershey, PA website, Hersheypa.com, you will be able to check out what there is to do ahead of time. If you’re interested in going to Hershey Park, there are discounted tickets at our local grocery store, Giant. They may have some deals online too, but I’m not aware of how good of a deal they are.
I will have the same pavilion at the pool reserved from 1:00 p.m. – 9:00 p.m. Saturday. This is to use as you please. If you would like to come and lounge at the pool, play volleyball, tetherball, shuffleboard, tennis, ping pong, or just visit with family, this is available for you to use, again, $3 for the day 60 and over $1. You may choose to join us all day at the pool, but if you would like to tour the town instead, that option is open as well.
I did plan on having a potluck on Saturday for dinner. Please bring your own meat and buns if you choose to have hamburgers or hot dogs, drinks for your family and a side dish or dessert to share. This may mean we have all desserts or all side dishes, but that’s a risk I’m willing to take. This is mostly about getting together and seeing you all, so it’s not really that formal. There is also a Food Lagoon that serves hot food and will support our swim team with the proceeds, and a snack bar that has candy bars, pop, ice cream, and various other candies. You are also welcome to bring in your own ice chests full of food to keep you going through the day, or have a pizza delivered. If you would rather order pizza than barbeque that evening, I will not be offended. I should also mention that there are no alcoholic beverages allowed at the pool.
I will try to have something set up so if you would like to share a talent that evening, that option will be available. Maybe even some Karaoke.
Sunday morning I planned on reserving a place to have brunch. Two places I was thinking of were the Hershey Grill or Devon. I am finding that our group is growing though and I may not be able to reserve a spot for this large of a group. So that’s still up in the air. Here’s what I need from you in order to make that decision. Please let me know who is coming so I may have a good count. I will list who I know is coming and those that I have heard rumored are coming. If you know for sure, please, please, please let me know. Sunday will be a time to say our good byes and have a nice brunch. If our group is too large to reserve a restaurant, I will reserve the pavilion again and we could have pastries and fruit and fruit juices to share. At any rate, we’ll have a last gathering to see one another again before we venture further to see what there is to see back east.
So, just to clarify, what I need you to tell me is if you are planning on coming and if you know of any who are coming and if you plan on going on the trolley tour on Saturday morning.
I am looking forward to seeing all of you. Let the good times roll.

Getting Closer
I'm going to try and figure out how to really use these blogs right. I'm sure I could make this so much more funky and fun to look at, I just have to find the time to figure out how to do so.
I needed to let you know that I just discovered that for the use of the pool pavilion, it will be $3 for each person. There is no discount for seniors. I'm so sorry to have mislead you.
I did find a website that will give a little more information about this area. www.hersheyharrisburg.org. Check it out and see if there's more you would like to see.
Leslie had asked how far away we were from some LDS church history sites. To answer that question, I understand it's about a four hour drive from here. We have not had the opportunity to visit, so I can't say for sure.
I am getting a few more responses here and there of people who may be coming. I'm looking forward to seeing you all.

Airports
O.K., so I hadn't considered which airport to suggest. I really don't know which is the best, but I will give you some options.
We do have an airport right here in Harrisburg. It's about a 15 - 20 minute drive from Hershey, but although it is an international airport, it is fairly small...translation, it can be expensive.
It has been suggested that Baltimore, Maryland is the best one to go to in order to get good deals and is fairly close. Philidalphia is another good option. I've never been to Pittsburg and it's a little further that Philly. Any of the airports in the Washington D.C. area are a good option as well. I'd just check around for the best deal.

Alright, let's get down to specifics
Here we are in January. I had a choice today of cleaning out all my storage area or getting some information out to you and some plans solidified for the family reunion. Getting information out sounded a lot more fun, so let's see what we can do.
I have reserved a venue for us to meet on Friday night and Saturday. Our family belongs to a swim club in a little town called Hummesltown right outside of Hershey. It's a nice family oriented pool with some enclosed pavilions where we may prepare meals, have things delivered, keep things chilled in the refrigerator and just hang out if we would like. There is a large pool with four diving boards and a slide as well as a lap pool and kiddie pool. There is also a sandbox and some swings for toddlers. They also have some volleyball nets, tennis courts and shuffleboard. So, we have lots of activities that we can participate in throughout the day as well as trying to plan a few things to get to know each other again. It's a nice little place and I think it will accomodate us quite well.
Friday night, Nathan and I would like to treat you all to dinner. Nathan is currently working at BC Natural chicken and we would like to treat you to a barbeque chicken evening with sides and drinks at the Hummelstown pool. You may bring your swimmies if you would like and do a little swimming or visit and play games. It will be fantastic I'm sure. We will use this evening to get acquainted and fill you in on activities that are planned for the weekend as a group as well as other things you may want to do on your own. (I will do my best to try to post things here as well so you can be more informed before you arrive.)
Saturday morning I thought we could plan a couple of things. There is a really fun, in my opinion, Hershey tour. You catch a trolley at Chocolate World and the driver takes you around town while the tour guide tells about the history of Hershey. It's not just a narrative though. There's a fun little program that they perform and they pass out chocolate through the whole tour. If nothing else, the chocolate is worth it. This tour takes about an hour and I think would be a good way to start your time in Hershey. I don't believe the tour is too expensive, but will check on individual prices and will see about group rates.
As I mentioned, this takes place at "Chocolate World". This is a fun place that is mostly a gift shop with Hershey products and souvenirs, but there are also some neat things you can do here as well. Admission is free and there is a little ride that will take you through how Hershey makes their products. Again, fun and informational. There's also a really big 3-D show and some places to eat if you would like to eat there. They also have a fun activity for the kids to be Hershey workers...and adults can too if they would like.
If you're interested in more history, there is a brand new museum that they built last year that has all sorts of interactive things to help you learn about Milton Hershey and his quest to build a business and community for his workers. You may want to spend some time there as well on Saturday morning and I could even look into getting some group rates or possibly even sign us up for a chocolate making class, where they share even more history of the town.
Since many of the hotels are now offering breakfast as part of your stay, I thought we could be on our own for breakfast and lunch on Saturday. You are welcome to go anywhere you want, of course, during the day, but the pavilion at the pool will be available to us from 1 - 9. So if you'd like to come and just have a fun day swimming, playing and visiting, that option is open as well. We will all gather in the evening for dinner and talents or kareoke...I haven't yet thought specifically about what we will do for the evening but am open to ideas. I have a few thoughts, but would have to solidify them before I share. Dinner will be a bring your own meat and share a side meal. I know it's really casual, but I am a casual type person. My main goal is to give us all the opportunity to reconnect.
I would like to get together Sunday morning for a good-bye brunch. I would like to try to find a restaurant where we can all meet and say our good-byes. I have not figured this out yet. If the weather is nice, we could possibly meet at my house. I will bring you up to speed on that. We have a really large yard and a really small old house. We are starting to renovate our home and who knows where we'll be in July. So, we would be happy to open our yard here and have us all have a light brunch, but if the weather does not cooperate, we couldn't move the party inside since there's not quite the room. So, as Scarlett O'Hara would say, I'll think about that tomorrow.
The only cost, besides the Saturday evening meal and any snacks you would like to bring, for the use of the pavilion is $3 per person, including children, and $1 for seniors. Last year, Mary Bernice and Mike qualified as seniors and they're...what...in their fifties. So I am assuming fifty and above are considered seniors. That cost would be for each day we use it. I will just collect that money the days we are there. Sound fair?
The additional costs would be if you would like to participate in the tour and the museum. The trolley tour cost are ages 13-61 12.95, 62+ 11.95, 3 - 12 5.95, 0-2 Free. If we could buy our tokens in groups of 20 or more the price would be 13-61 10.95, 62+ 9.95, 3 - 12 4.95 and 0 - 2 still Free.
The "Museum Experience" is $10 for 13 - 61, Seniors $9 and $7.50 for kids 3-12. There are group rates available, but I would have to look further to find those out. I'll get back to you on that.
I wanted to keep our group activities pretty simple and local. There are so many more things to see if you're planning on staying longer. We do have an amusement park that's right next to Chocolate World. The best days to go there, if you want the fewest crowds, are Sundays and Tuesdays. I've never been on a Sunday, but we usually plan Tuesday visits and the hype is true. There are shows to see as well as rides to ride and a water park as well. They also have Sunday concerts. The year before we moved here, they had the Jonas Bros. and Demi Lovato perform there. The next year they were so popular that they had to be moved to the stadium and we had to buy tickets. Last year they had the kid from Drake and Josh come sing, and they have also had David Cassidy and Davy Jones perform. Those concerts are included in the park ticket price. It's more for the up and comers as well as the has beens. (I don't really know if that's how you write it, but you know what I mean.) At any rate, they put on some good concerts from what I've heard.
If you want to venture out of Hershey, we have the Amish and Mennonite villages close by, Philidelphia is a two hour drive and New York is a three hour drive. There is also the option of a train ride to any of these places from Middletown, which is about 10 minutes outside of Hershey. If any of you are up for a train ride to New York, would love to join you. It's about $90 round trip from here to New York and I believe only about $32 from here to Philidelphia. Williamsburg, VA is about a 4 hour drive, Washington D.C. is a 2 1/2 hour drive, Gettysburg 45 min., Valley Forge 2 hours...I don't know if I can name enough places. I just really love the area and there are not enough available Saturdays for us to see it all. I guess we have a while though.
Places to stay...the town is really small, so anywhere you choose to stay won't be too far from anything you want to see, including the pool where we are gathering. If you want to stick with Hershey sponsered places, The Hershey Lodge is only a three minute drive from our house and is really nice and the Hotel Hershey is really fancy. These places, of course, are some of your higher priced places. If you are more in the mood for camping, there is a Hershey Campground. There are activities there that you can participate in and buses that will take you to the different tour areas. I can reserve some spots if we have enough people who would like to do this. They have cabins as well as RV and tent spots. You do need to supply your own linens and I don't believe there are any cabins with restrooms inside, just the shared restroom. There is a Marriott Springhill Suites that's nice and across the street from an antique car museum as well as close enought to all the other sights. I've not been to the Comfort Inn that they have right off of Hershey Park Drive, but it seems to be in pretty good condition. We did stay in the Days Inn on Chocolate Avenue and it was not that great. I mentioned before that I really think that finding hotels on your own will be the least expensive way to go. There are so many good deals online that I don't think I could beat them with a group rate of any sort. Like I said, the town is small so not matter where you stay, you won't be too far from the action. In your search, Hershey and Hummelstown and possibly Palmyra will be your closest options. Harrisburg is fairly close as well, the closer you get to Hershey, the more expensive they will run. I will warn you to book early because it does get busy here in the summers.
I hope this gets you all a little excited about the Bliss Family Reuion. I know I am excited to see all of you.

Let's begin
It's time to start sending out information and getting things ready for the Bliss Family Reunion 2010. The dates are July 23rd, 24th and 25th. These are the official days that we will gather as a group. Friday the 23rd will be an informal dinner gathering and chat time. Saturday the 24th will be fun games and visiting all day and dinner at night. Then we could get together for breakfast on Saturday morning to say goodbyes, if that's where we part. This, again, will be informal and easy.
I know that many of you will be travelling from great distances to get here if you're able to come. You may want to take extra time to see the sights. There are many things to see right here in Hershey. If you are interested in staying longer and doing more activities, there are many places where you can get group rates to visit and I can look into arranging some things for us to do as a larger group. There is also a fun amusement park if that's something you are interested in. There are town tours and a Hershey Museum. Milton Hershey also started a school for underprivilaged children and you can visit the campus and learn about the great things he did there.
If you would like to just go on your own or with your family, I will try to post reviews of attractions in the area so that you could plan your trip with things in which your group is interested.
There have also been suggestions of trying to charter a bus to tour the different states as a group. I've looked a little into this, but it may be something that I would delegate to somebody since it is something that could be set up on the internet or over the phone and can be done from anywhere. I do think it sounds like a fun idea if you've got the time. There are some tours that take off from the rec center here in town. There are day bus tours to New York or Philadelphia and I think even Washington D.C. So I would be happy to check into that. Sometimes there are overnight packages as well. I will be happy to share any information that I gather.
As far as places to stay, I thought it might be easiest to have everybody check out where they could get the best deals. I could try to reserve a chunk of rooms somewhere, but I wouldn't want people to feel obligated to fill those if they were able to find better deals on Hotels.com or one of the many other websites there are. There is certainly no shortage of hotels here since it is a tourist spot. If you choose to stay in Harrisburg, it's only about a 15 minute drive to get to Hershey. Be aware that from 10 - 11, the traffic gets really bad since all the Hershey Park goers are coming in at about that time.
The Hershey Highmeadow campground is really nice and they have shuttles to many of the tourist sites included with the cost of your campsite. The Hotel Hershey and the Hershey Lodge have shuttles as well.
I am really excited for you to come and see this town. It's a small town with big ideas. There are just lots of things to do for a small, family oriented, tourist community. I hope you all consider coming out and checking it out for yourselves.

Be aware that from 10 - 11, the traffic gets really bad since all the Hershey Park goers are coming in at about that time.
The Hershey Highmeadow campground is really nice and they have shuttles to many of the tourist sites included with the cost of your campsite. The Hotel Hershey and the Hershey Lodge have shuttles as well.
I am really excited for you to come and see this town. It's a small town with big ideas. There are just lots of things to do for a small, family oriented, tourist community. I hope you all consider coming out and checking it out for yourselves.
