    Visiting Hagerstown and Washington County, MD

    Sports can unite a community. When a local team is doing well, people are excited. They’re happy and they want to invest in that team. But can a sports venue change a community? Hagerstown, Maryland may be the blueprint for other communities around the country.
    In this week’s episode we’re heading to Western Maryland to discuss Hagerstown and Washington County.

    One thing you’ll hear us talk about is the brand new, state of the art, minor league ballpark that opened about a year ago in Hagerstown. The community has hinged some rebuilding and revitalization hopes around this stadium, and it seems to be working. People are coming back to Hagerstown. They’re hanging around, investing in local business and in a lot of cases, even moving there. Hagerstown, and Washington County, is seeing a boom in new residents.

    This podcast isn’t all about the growth of communities. We’re about giving you a reason to go visit a city or area. And we will give you plenty of reasons why you’re going to want to visit Washington County. From their national parks, to the ballpark and perfect small town feel, they have plenty for you to see.

    With me this week is Dan Spedden. He’s the president of the Hagerstown and Washington County Convention and Visitors Bureau. I hope you enjoy our conversation.

    Visiting Indiana County, PA

    There’s a phrase that I’ve used during my previous interviews that sometimes sets my guests off. I guess I can understand. It could come across as being insulting, but I never mean it that way. That phrase is ‘Middle of Nowhere.’ Or sometimes I’ll say ‘Off The Beaten Path.’ Some guests take that as my way of saying it’s boring or slow.

    But today’s guest gets it and they even pride themselves on that label. We’re heading out to Western Pennsylvania to visit Indiana County. They hang their hat on being in the middle of nowhere. In fact, they say that’s a big reason why people come to visit them. People want to disconnect, unplug and touch grass.

    But don’t start thinking that there isn’t anything to do in Indiana County. It’s quite the opposite. There’s a lot happening there from music festivals, performance art and plenty of Christmas celebrations.

    Joining me today is Laura Herrington. She’s the Executive Director of the Indiana County tourist bureau. We had a great conversation about all the things someone can do while visiting the Christmas Tree capital of the world.

    Most of the conversations I’ve had for this podcast have been with representatives from counties, states or major cities. But I think it’s time we swing through a small town near my home. I live in Baltimore Maryland. I always say Baltimore is a major city but it kind of feels like a small town since it’s sandwiched between Philadelphia and Washington DC. We are part of an area called the 95 Corridor since the highway Interstate 95 runs right through the center of the major cities on the east coast.

    There are a lot of great small towns scattered along that route in between the major cities. If you’re driving from Baltimore north to Philly, you could easily stop off in Perryville, MD. Perryville is a town just south of Delaware. It has a couple of big destinations: The Hollywood Casino and Great Wolf Lodge. I think most people know Perryville because of those spots. But Perryville has a lot to offer besides that. There’s lots of nature, some great food and a lot of Maryland history to check out.

    Joining me for this week’s episode of Delightful Destinations is Ashley Hennessey. She’s the community development coordinator for the town of Perryville. I hope you enjoy our conversation.
