Guest guest Posted February 11, 2007 Report Share Posted February 11, 2007 Hershey is fairly new, my sister lives there, it was probably Lancaster where you are speaking of. That is Amish town, and also was settled by the Germans. hugs, Chanda - Erin Friday, February 09, 2007 8:19 AM Re: Pennsylvania Dutch Pickled Eggs Erin I want to say near Hershey (I know we went to the park as kids), but I'm not sure. -Erin www.zenpawn.com/vegblog , Donnalilacflower <thelilacflower wrote: > > What city in Pa?
