Community Assistants, the Student Activities Office and Food Services are excited to bring the Tastes of Williamsport to Penn College. This event will bring locally owned restaurants to the college to allow students to experience dining options that are available off-campus. Some of Williamsport’s most notoriously good eateries will line the ATHS mall right outside of the LEC and Susquehanna Room. They will showcase their cuisine, distribute menus to students and inform the Penn College community of all of the services they have to offer. Students and staff will be able to redeem tickets for food samples from vendors. Each student will receive one free ticket and have the opportunity to purchase additional tickets using cash at the ticket tent, as well as declining-balance and Wildcat Plus payment options at Penn Central. It’s a winning bet that good food won’t be hard to find ... and at the cheap price of 50 cents per ticket, it will definitely be worth it. Who will be there? To find out, grab some friends, some change and come check out the first-ever Tastes of Williamsport! | |
