Flooding and detours in the PaRF area

[McGuinness]

For anyone who may be coming to visit this weekend, definitely check your route before you head out! Most of the flooding has receded from the area (except the Hershey area and along the Susquehanna, they are still underwater and rising into tomorrow) but there are a bunch of damaged roadways and bridges. From what I've seen, route 72 where the faire is located is fine along most of the stretch (except for further north around the Swatara Creek) and the turnpike has reopened. Routes 422, 222 and 322 seem to be some of the hardest hit for damage.

The fairegrounds are fine though from what I've heard, except for some of our usual erosion and muddiness and everything should (hopefully!) be open as usual. Tickets are half-price this weekend for the Heroes Of The Realm tribute weekend.
