Get ready for an evening of decadent chocolate in Downtown Lancaster!
Enjoy a walk through Historic Downtown as you visit over 30 Downtown locations and experience 
chocolate goodness in all of its wondrous forms!!
Some stops give you a treat to enjoy immediately and some give you a treat to save for later!

The walk begins outside our offices at 109 N. Broad Street, just behind the General Sherman statue in Downtown Lancaster. There you will receive your bag for goodies, a wrist bracelet for identification as a participant and a map. Please remember that everyone in your group needs a ticket to participate in the Chocolate Walk. Business owners only make enough chocolate for one goodie per ticket holder.

FROM THE DIRECTOR'S DESK

After 70 years of service, Shaw’s has sadly had to close its doors.  Both Harry’s bar and Mabel and Grace are also closed, effective immediately. Susie and Nick Krutsch are saddened and disappointed but could no longer keep the doors open, for financial reasons.  Shaw’s has been a fixture in local cuisine for generations and many are grieving the loss of this Downtown staple.  It feels like an old loved one has died.  And we thought she would always be there.  It feels to many, like a death.  It’s okay to grieve.  Tell your stories of your wonderful memories of Shaw’s.  To remember is to celebrate and respect the legacy of the families, Shaw, Cork and Krutsch.  For there to be rebirth, there must also be death.  The beautiful renovation of the Shaw’s space will give a new restaurant what we hope will be the beginning of a 70 year legacy.  Destination Downtown Lancaster is already hard at work trying to find potential operators.
During this difficult time, find comfort in knowing what your community is made of.  While a family was losing hold of their dream and life’s work, their Downtown community rallied around them to support them and make the best of a trying time.  Ale House called in extra staff and worked into the wee hours of the morning ensuring any banquets they could accommodate would be taken care of.  Taylor Rental and Company Wrench employees gave hours of staff time and resources so that perishable foods could be taken to Community Action and valuables could be moved to storage.
How we handle difficult times, defines us as a community.  This has been a rough day for many.  Be kind to one another my friends.

OFFICE RAMBLINGS

I don't know about you, but the taste of pleasant weather has given me a bad case of Spring Fever! Last weekend was such a great weekend downtown as all of our shops were busy with people participating in the Explore Downtown event. It was delightful to see the sidewalks full of people enjoying the nice day and the mild weather! Even though the Explore Downtown event was only for a weekend, I still encourage you to explore everything that our Downtown has to offer. I was reading an article, not too long ago, that advised people to play 'tourist' in their own town. So often we take for granted what is in our own backyard!! So come eat, play and explore Downtown!!
On another note, the voting for the movies to be shown at our Saturday Cinemas this year are; (insert drum roll here) ;)
May- Peter Rabbit
June- Despicable Me 3
July- Coco
August- Cars 3
I hope you can join us for this free, fun, family event! More info on Saturday Cinema can be found HERE !!
Wild Woman Wednesday had us celebrating Cheryl's birthday! We gorged (ooh that's a harsh word,,,,was more than a nibble but maybe a bit less than a faceplant) on a Red Velvet Birthday Cake with purple sparkly candles! It was a sweet way to celebrate a sweet friend!! She is still going to celebrate through the weekend, so if you stop in the Chamber offices before the end of Friday, be sure to wish her a Happy Birthday!! :)
There are still a few Chocolate Walk tickets to be had, but don't delay- they will go soon! Click HERE to get yours before they're gone!!
See you Downtown!!
