I'm pretty sure I'm going to attend this one. Seems like it could be a good time!

Do you know the date of Stoudt's Fest in June. And when the tickets go on sale? I'll be at that one. I'll drive the ole RV up and camp at Lake In Wood campground for the weekend.

I'm not sure, but I think it's usually the second weekend, which would be the 13th.

Do you have info on that campsite mentioned? Tenting, or only RVs?

[chazwicke]

Has both RV and tenting. A very nice facility. I have stayed there a number of times.

It fills up fast for weekends in the summer.

There are several other campgrounds in the Adamstown area that are nice and a couple of "iffy" ones too.

Dinner at Stoudt's Black Angus Restraunt is usually very good too.

Tons of Antique store and flea markets as well

Thanks for the info!

I'd been through the area and stopped in to the biergarten at least 5 years ago, but haven't been to their fests. It definitely seems like a good area for a weekend away. I'll look into it.

The Stoudt's Microfest is scheduled for June 12th, August 7th and October 16th. Due to Brewery expansion they are cutting back on the number of tickets this year. Always a good fest, but last years was a bit crowded.
