It sounds like the only thing that doesn't recommend Ligonier for a visit is its French name! :^) Thanks for the tip. I may search it out one day.

Well, keep in mind that it is a rural area, so the attractions are a little spread out, but still within a very reasonable drive. For instance, The Pennsylvania Maple Festival in Meyersdale, Somerset County is only 45 miles away. It is held during the last 2 weekends in April.

Visitors can sample maple syrup, sugar cakes, "crumb" sugar and soft sugar ice cream made by the region’s top producers, and they can watch demonstrations of the sugaring process inside the historic Maple Mansion and its outbuildings. The Myersdale Lions Club hosts an all-you-can-eat pancake and sausage breakfast for a nominal fee. In 1997, festival visitors consumed 10,000 pounds of sausage and thousands of pancakes dripping with 400 gallons of locally made syrup.
