 Itinerary

April 7, 2023 (Friday) - MBS & L

We will depart Grand Rapids this morning and enjoy breakfast snacks and coffee, as we begin our Shipshewana adventure! Once we arrive, our first stop will be at Ben’s Pretzels where you will make your own delicious soft pretzel to enjoy.. A traditional, family-style lunch will follow at A Taste of Shipshewana.

After lunch, we’ll enjoy a wonderful performance of the hit musical Dear Soldier Boy at the Blue Gate Theater. It’s 1951 and the Korean War is in full swing. Anna King knows that war is contrary to the Amish Way, but she still writes encouraging letters to soldiers. To her surprise and dismay, three of her soldier pen pals show up on leave. Will Anna be able to keep her father from finding out? And then.... which one has she really fallen in love with?

After the show there will be some time for shopping at Yoder’s Popcorn Shop in Shipshewana before we head for home! Approximate arrival home in Grand Rapids at 7:00 pm (no dinner stop).
