Experience Lititz this October

We're so excited to announce this event! Two of our favorite downtown shops are teaming up to host An Afternoon with Auntie Anne Beiler.


You'll have two opportunities to interact with the celebrated founder of Auntie Anne's® Pretzels. First, Anne will be giving a cooking demo, showcasing one of the recipes from her new book, at Zest starting at 1pm on Friday, September 29th. Register to attend HERE. After the cooking demo, at around 2:30, Anne will head a few doors down to Main Street Peddler. There, she will meet and greet customers and sign copies of Come to the Table. Purchase your very own copy and get cooking!

We’re breaking out our bell bottoms, styling them with our smoothest silk shirts, and getting groovy to the sounds of the 70s at this year’s Venture Lititz Gala. It all happens on Saturday, October 14th at Brownstone Manor, the historic former church on the corner of Orange and Broad Streets – though this year we’re referring to it as Studio 17543.


Join us for a night of dancing, laughing, and raising money to continue the work of Venture Lititz. 70s era apparel isn’t required, but it sure is encouraged!


On the Menu: A signature dish from Lititz Springs Inn, plus a selection of heavy hors d’oeuvres and an open bar.

In Your Glass: Beer from Rooster Street and a signature cocktail from Stoll & Wolfe Whiskey.

On the Stage: Pop Scotch
