and restaurants, and several boast gas-lit fireplaces and double-sized jetted tubs. Groups can meet, eat and stay right here. This is a big plus. We offer a variety of unique meeting options, from small pri- vate board space to large classrooms. Training sessions, seminars, corporate retreats and team building programs are held here throughout the year.”
Gelman calls on Without a Cue Productions to customize meeting pack- ages. “We know our core groups and can provide programs that work best for their people. Without a Cue is putting the final touches on 2013 options.”
For the ultimate game show, consider 60 Seconds Flat, which gets team leaders to face off and win enough to send their group to the final feud. Trashcan Theater encourages small groups to create mini- productions around their products and interact to speed up team building sup- port. Mystery dinner theater shows here promise to be highly interactive. “We receive exceptional compliments on mys- tery events featuring company themes.”
She adds that two other popular choices for small meetings activities are Chaddsford Wine tasting events and cook- ing classes at Casa Casale, an Italian café and retail store. “We’re here to make meet- ings match planners’ goals - and the options are endless.”
Planners of small meetings will find a great deal in Pennsylvania’s Lehigh Valley. This destination is convenient and afford- able with excellent meeting facilities and plenty of options for entertainment, din- ing and lodging.
In addition, the Lehigh Valley is a great place in which to incorporate a number of experiences into a group’s meeting itin- erary, with attractions that include Martin Guitar Company, Dorney Park, the Crayola Factory, Sands Bethlehem Casino and more. Having the ability to incorporate attractions into the itinerary is beneficial to meeting attendees, and it presents the opportunity to bring families along to take part in a mini-vacation, as well, notes Marc Kaminetsky, CTIS, national sales manager for Discover Lehigh Valley.
One local offering, the Sands Casino Resort Bethlehem is home to over 3,000 state-of-the-art slot machines and 89 table games, but it also is a food lover's dream with culinary offerings that include three signature restaurants by celebrity chef Emeril Lagasse. Its most recent addition is the Sands Bethlehem Event Center, a lux- ury, multipurpose entertainment venue available for events, trade shows, confer- ences, private functions, sporting events and performance entertainment.
Dorney Park provides opportunities to fos- ter teamwork and togetherness. In addi- tion to its theme park thrill rides and numerous attractions, groups can enjoy meals on site in a reserved picnic area.
At The Crayola Experience™, visitors will find more than a dozen hands-on activi- ties and learn how Crayola Crayons® and Markers are made. This colorful and inter- esting visitor center is available for host- ing group outings.
