An evening respite from all day meetings..."The Penn Stater (where our meeting was based) could have provided a similar banquet, but it was important to us to do an event away from there, since our attendees had already spent a lot of time in the same place. Our guests seemed very happy to have a new venue to enjoy, and especially one with the nice outdoor space. The parking lot accommodated our buses, the food and drink were handled in-house, and the building offered a great space for both a cocktail hour and a seated dinner. One major advantage was that with a very diverse group of people from all over the world, Harrison's Eat Well Catering was willing to accommodate the various dietary restrictions of our guests." - Paul R.
