Day 2… Visiting Hershey, PA Again… Plus Denver, PA!

Posted on by

Just got home from a VERY long, yet VERY fun weekend of traveling pretty much across the State of Pennsylvania.  We got up early today, well I got up before my girlfriend, around 6 AM.  After enjoying the hotel’s AMAZING breakfast (which included eggs, hash browns, toast, ham, fresh fruit, pretty much EVERYTHING you can imagine) and checking out, it was back on the road!

We decided to head back to Middletown, PA and their “Saturday’s Market.” On Sunday it’s still enjoyable, just MANY less vendors and the indoor market isn’t open.  I tend to like the outdoor markets better anyway, but by the time we got there today there really weren’t many deals going on. After being slightly disappointed, I decided to head to another Flea Market I found, this one being about an hour or so away in Denver, Pennsylvania.  We didn’t get there until around Noon, but let me tell you, this one DID NOT disappoint! TONS AND TONS of vendors, even though a lot were packing up and leaving when we got there. I plan on going back really soon and making sure to get there early in the AM (we’re talking 5 or 6 AM for sure).

It’s called “Renninger’s Antique & Collector’s Market” and it’s something to check out if you are in to antiques, etc… like I am.  In fact, the entire town of Denver, PA has many flea markets and antique shops.  I pretty much just scratched the surface there.  I honestly cannot wait to go back!

After leaving Denver, PA it was back towards Hershey! Once we got there we actually got to explore a new place to eat, this one being “Fenicci’s of Hershey,” right on Chocolate Avenue.  Great atmosphere, alright service, great food.  I enjoyed my Fried Haddock meal, although both the Tartar Sauce and the Cole Slaw were, well, pretty much NASTY.  I am going to be honest here.  Everything else though… on point.  I can’t say it was the “best meal I ever had,” but I can say that I would go back. Take that for what you will…..

Afterwards, OF COURSE, it was off to enjoy our last day at HersheyPark and its “HersheyPark In The Dark” activities!  Another very fun afternoon/night for sure.  Overall it was a very fun “business/pleasure” weekend.  I feel that I found some great items on my picking adventures, and had a BLAST traveling around, exploring, at our hotel, the park, and everywhere else we stopped.  We will be back in Hershey in December for “Christmas Candylane” and who knows, maybe a surprise stop here or there before year’s end leading up until Florida in January 2011 when the 2011 OUP Photography Tour actually kicks off.

I love exploring/traveling and plan to do so more and more as new business opportunites begin presenting themself, etc…. For now I’ll leave you with a few more shots of today’s fun at HersheyPark! Enjoy, and check back soon, there just may be some surprises/stops, etc… in store!

OUP Photography Tour Previews 2011 Tour With Stops In Middletown, PA, Dover, PA, Hershey, PA, and Harrisburg, PA!

After waking up early this morning around 6 AM, doing some work in the office, getting a shower, and getting ready… it was on the road! We stopped at one of our local Sheetz gas stations, got some gas and some coffee/food, etc.. Afterwards I hit the Post Office, the bank, then was finally, actually, on my way!

A short two hours or so later we arrived in Middletown, Pennsylvania and it’s “Saturday’s Market,” a local Flea Market/Farmer’s Market/little-bit-of-everything stop.  It was really cool there.  I was able to get some cool pieces which I am more than sure I can turn a profit on. There were a lot of people there, and next time I will try to get there earlier in the morning (on Saturday they run 4 AM until 4 PM, we got there around 10:30 or so). Nonetheless I found some great finds!  I will post a video in a few days on OUnitProductions.com talking about/showing them.

After scoring some hot-ticket items and getting some great information/pricing ideas, etc.. it was off to Dover, Pennsylvania and their Newberrytown Peddler’s Market.  It wasn’t as good as the first, with many less vendors, and items in general.  I was able to find a few things, and we had an AMAZING lunch at this place called “Vicki’s Place.”  Their selling slogan is “Home of the Baldhiller Hot Dog,” and let me tell you, this thing was AMAZING. A hotdog with BBQ sauce, pulled pork, and onions. Delicious! My girlfriend got a steak sandwich, which she said was also pretty good. Great little find!

After the great lunch and looking around a little bit more trying to find some diamonds in the rough, it was off to our hotel, which is pretty amazing.  It’s the Country Inn & Suites here in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, which I am writing this from right now.  They have, what looks to be, a great breakfast, pretty amazing rooms, an indoor pool & hot tub, and some other cool features.  After posting this we might be going down to take a swim actually before it closes for the night.

To end the night, OF COURSE, we hit HERSHEYPARK IN THE DARK! Had an awesome time there, ate some good food, played some games, and explored their “Creatures of the Night” event at ZooAmerica.  We’ll be heading back tomorrow to have some more fun!

Awesome day so far! Ready for an awesome night, then getting up around 7 AM for the hotel’s breakfast.  Afterwards I’m looking to go out picking at another flea market or possibly some yard sales.  We shall see, I plan on doing some research later this evening. Then tomorrow afternoon it’s back to HERSHEYPARK IN THE DARK! STAY TUNED FOR MORE UPDATES!

2011 OUP Photography Tour!

Posted on by

It’s August 14th, and as promised, I am more than happy to announce the 2011 OUP Photography Tour!

In 2010 the Tour was introduced, and quickly became a passion of mine.  I love travel, photography, blogging, the Internet, and business… what could work better? This coming year, I promise, is going to be huge. I will be kicking off the year with a bang in January, and be heading to Miami, Florida as well as Orlando, Florida and DisneyWorld! I am going to DisneyWorld! What could be a bigger and better way to kick off the year and Tour than that?!?

We will also be heading to Sandusky, Ohio and its famed Cedar Point amusement park, HersheyPark (which will be a scheduled Tour stop every year at least once!), and back to Outer Banks, North Carolina! A huge aspect to keep in mind for this year’s Tour is that surprise stops will be included throughout the year, so you never really know where else we may go. To find out, make sure you check out this Blog often!

For example, and great news if you love Hershey as much as me, we’ll be heading to Hershey at least twice before 2010 ends for their “HersheyPark In The Dark” and “HersheyPark Christmas Candylane” events.  Both will have featured updates right here in this Blog! A pre-2010 Tour exclusive preview, if you will… I am also working on sponsorships, partnerships, and other behind-the-scenes details which I am hoping to be able to announce at some point soon.  If you are interested in participating in anything of such nature shoot me off an Email!
