How Sweet It Is – Hershey Park, PA

This weekend, Mer and Vic (and their fams) met up at Hershey Park in PA for a little holiday cheer! While the weather felt more like spring than winter, we checked out the holiday light display, visited with the Big Guy in Red, and had a great time together!

Naturally, while we were there we discussed doing one of the races at Hershey Park. There’s a 10k in the spring and a half marathon in the fall. Have you ever run Hershey?
