Sandra Scott Travels: Hershey Is A Sweet End Of Summer Jaunt

There is time for one more outing before the young ones start the new school year. Hershey is a great destination for the whole family. The story of Hershey is fascinating. Milton Hershey established a company town that had the workers in mind. Not to milk them of their pay so they “owed their soul to the company store,” but he created a model community that included housing, schools, church and parks.

Sandra Scott Travels: There Are Several Unique Museums Waiting For You

I love small museums especially if they deal with only one topic, that way I can conquer it in an hour or two and remember what it was all about. Here are eight small museums in close proximity to Central New York. Great summer day trips. Call the museum first because many rely on volunteers so are only open a few days a week but will often open upon request.

Sandra Scott Travels: A Pleasant Way To Enjoy Harborfest Fireworks

Harborfest may be over for 2017, but I am already thinking about Harborfest 2018. This year marked the 30th anniversary of what is one of the biggest events in New York State. The yearly event is quite amazing with 50 plus musical acts, a midway, special activities for children, vendors of all kinds, food galore, and, of course the Grucci fireworks.

A warm spot for a winter getaway

Sandra Scott Travels: Start Planning Your Winter Getaway – Now

It is never too early to start planning your winter getaway, especially if you plan travel during the holidays or school breaks. Travel gurus will say the best time to book air tickets is on Tuesday and the cheapest days to fly are mid-week. And, for U.S. tickets, they suggest start looking three months in advance and five months ahead of time for international tickets. I don’t think it is ever too soon to start looking. We already have our tickets for December.

Southern Rock Legend Molly Hatchet To Perform Veteran Benefit In Syracuse

When you think of Molly Hatchet, you think of one of southern rock’s top and longest-lasting bands, responsible for kick-ass anthems and weapon-wielding warrior album cover art. But the group also has a heart of gold, as evidenced by the announcement that they will be headlining a show on August 5 in Liverpool, at Sharkey’s Summer Stage, that will benefit Victory for vets.

Sandra Scott Travels: Make Your Own Healthy Vietnam Spring Rolls

I am often asked what my favorite ethnic food is. I’d have to say Vietnamese. It has a lot of fresh veggies and is never too spicy hot. My all-time favorite breakfast is pho, a Vietnamese soup served for breakfast and all day long. The light broth is full of flavor. On my last trip to Vietnam I learned about some other traditional foods on Pandaw’s Red River/Halong Bay cruise.

Arriving at the lighthouse

Sandra Scott Travels: Oswego Lighthouse Still Beckons Boaters Today

The Oswego Lighthouse, the icon of the city of Oswego, has basically been off limits to visitors until now. The breakwall that leads to the lighthouse is too dangerous to negotiate and, most likely, if reached by private boat the lighthouse will be closed. H. Lee White Maritime Museum now runs a tourist boat to the lighthouse twice a week for a mere $20 and includes admission to the H. Lee White Maritime Museum. John and I have been to the museum several times but each time is different.

Crazy Horse's jail

Sandra Scott Travels: Fort Robinson, Nebraska, Has Much History To Offer

Crazy Horse’s real name was “His-horse-is-crazy.” He was the leader of the Oglala Lakotas and led a group of likeminded Native Americans in a fight against the United States government protesting the government’s encroachments on their land and the effect it was having on the culture of the Lakota people. He and his followers finally surrendered to U.S. troops and Crazy Horse was imprisoned at Fort Robinson. On September 5, 1877, Crazy Horse was bayonetted to death by a guard who said he was trying to escape.
