Organizers say it was also a great opportunity for socializing.

“Wonderful! I’m enjoying the nice walk around and talking with people,” said Alisa Hiegler, of Exeter Township.

“Seeing new friends, seeing people that I know that work out here,” said Lin Langlois, of Muhlenberg Township.

The more than 80 vendors also gave out some free goodies like Ensure protein drinks and flashlights.
