Our HOLIDAY / WINTER
issue features one of Lancaster's unqiue stores, Jake's Country Trading
Post. It's a little bit of country crafts and a little bit of
Southwestern USA. Actually, it's more than a little --- there's an
amazing array of everything from Amish crafts and furniture to Tex-mex
pottery and jewelry. Click on the cover image to the right to read the
fascinating story behind the store and the folks who created it.
In this issue,
seasonal articles on Pennsylvania German Christmas traditions share
space with our usual Amish articles, holiday events, etc. And Amish
Country News remains a great resource for gift-giving ideas, from
local crafts (hand-painted gourds, clocks, quilts) to popular home items
(furniture, collectibles, decor). This being Amish Country News,
you'll also find an unusual alternative array of places to shop, from
knives to the lollipops. We are nothing if not eclectic! View our
advertisers and their links or our new interactive maps. Finally, enjoy
our seasonal attractions, such as the National Chrismas Center, Koziar's
Christmas Village, Sight & Sound, and Roadside America. And the holidays
mean trains, so don't forget the Choo Choo Barn, National Toy Train
Museum, and Strasburg Rail Road for the holidays --- even Thomas the
Tank makes an appearance. Come and create a new holiday family tradition
in Amish Country!
