I'll be in Harrisburg the following weekend for my son's soccer tournament.
I've already found out that there is a Woodcraft and Harbor Freight within a
mile of the motel. Any suggestions for other things to see or do? Since
it's a family weekend I don't expect to get a lot of time so I'm not looking
for anything too ambitious. We will be doing Hershey Park after the
tournament.
Thanks
Martin

You could always head south a bit and go to York and watch Harleys being
built (says I making a wild assumption that they still have tours and that
you might be interested). Or you could drive over to the Reading area and
visit Talarico's Hardwoods and buy some goodies. Or you could drive south of
Lancaster and visit several other very fine purveyors of wood. Or you could
pop up to Pottsville and tour the Yuengling Brewery and take home some very
fine beer.

If woodworking stuff is of interest try Middletown Lumber in Middletown,
Pa about 10 minutes from the Woodcraft you mentioned, is worth a look.
Middletown is also home of M&H Railroad a tourist railroad if you like
that type of stuff and if you get to Middletown don't miss eating at the
Brownstone Cafe "Excellent food".

I guess that covers my interests woodworking, railroading and food. Not
necessary in that order.
