Pretzel Fest will feature 13 tasting stations

The fourth annual Lititz Pretzel Fest is set for May 2 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. in downtown Lititz. Sponsored by Kiwanis Club of Lititz Area, the event is unique in that it appeals to adults and to children, and it includes 13 tastings and a dozen games that offer a chance to win some valuable prizes. Look for more information about Pretzel Fest games in next week’s Record Express.

The star of Pretzel Fest is, of course, the pretzel. Ticket purchasers will be able to travel to 13 tasting stations around the downtown area and sample delicacies that have one thing in common &tstr; pretzels are an ingredient.
