Brandy Gleason is once again joining Will Miller with special guest Shannon Carter to talk about the hidden gems of Ohio Amish Country. In her role as the Tourism Marketing Manager for the Holmes County Chamber of Commerce and Tourism Bureau, Shannon spent years promoting tourism to the second-largest community of Amish people in the world, spanning a 30-mile radius across Holmes County. And as the author of the book 100 Things to Do in Amish Country Before You Die, Brandy Gleason knows the area inside and out.
In this episode, they’re discussing:
● Which non-traditional Amish Country experiences to explore, including picking flowers, seeing steam engines up close, and booking a romantic couples getaway
● The #1 way to know if your visit to Amish Country was a success
● Where to get the best food, including pies, tarts, a buffet, the famous “hot trail and Swiss” sandwich (a local specialty), and the biggest and best Long John donuts in the state
● Why you should download Wander, the interactive map app that lets you easily navigate Ohio Amish Country’s tapestry of small, rural towns
● What events to schedule your visit around, including the blowout Harvest Fest every September in Berlin, and the 2024 Heartland Rally at Evergreen RV Resort, hosted by Brandy Gleason herself
● And so much more
