Shop for Bargains at Crazy Deals of Hummelstown Bin Store

Crazy Deals of Hummelstown Bin Store
Crazy Deals of Hummelstown Bin Store is located in Hummelstown, Pennsylvania. You'll find them located on 17 E. Main Street, behind the Municipal Building. You'll park on the side or back of the building and enter the business from the rear. It took us a few minutes to find it due to small signage and the one-way streets in the downtown area. 

This business is newer to the central Pennsylvania area. They're only open on Saturday, Sunday, Monday and on Tuesday from 10am to 6pm or 7pm depending on the day. You'll want to visit their Facebook page for driving directions and hours of operation. On the day that we visited...they ONLY accepted CASH.

On the day that we visited Crazy Deals of Hummelstown Bin Store we purchased four items at $10.00 each. We picked up a woman's smart watch, a medium-sized pet carrier, a solar robot construction toy and a drone. The two toys are birthday gifts for our grandson. Every item was brand new, in working condition and in original packaging or had hang-tags.

Here's what we recommend for getting the best deals. Go on Saturday (if you can) and go as soon as they open. They can get really crowded. You'll want to bring along CASH and bring along your own shopping bags to take your purchases home. Some items are clearly displayed on shelving while others you'll have to dig through large bins to find them.

Overall, it was a really cool shopping experience. The staff was friendly and helpful. We feel that we got some great deals and will definitely be shopping there again.

Walking the Oscar Lingle Nature Trail at Kohl Park

Oscar Lingle Nature Trail at Kohl Park in Harrisburg Pennsylvania

Looking to get outside for some fresh air and exercise? If so, head to Kohl Park in Lower Paxton Township and hit the Oscar Lingle Nature Trail. There are 2 trails for a total of .92 miles. These are not paved or well-maintained trails in my opinion.

We parked in the Kohl Park parking lot and headed to the trail entrance. You'll see a large sign that says Oscar Lingle Nature Trail as shown in my one photograph. You'll want to wear comfortable walking shoes and bring along your sunscreen, bug spray and a bottle of water.

There's nothing really scenic about these short trails. However, along the way if you look close enough you'll see markers that point out some of the local trees and plant life along the way. One thing that we did enjoy seeing during our walk was near the top of several trees we saw "fresh" woodpecker holes!

As I previously stated, the trails weren't well maintained, at least during the time that we were there. Several had plant life that was overgrown and needed trimmed back. Some areas are a little rocky and it's definitely not balanced walking. There's so much more they could do to make this small trail nicer for visitors to enjoy.

Once you're done walking the trail you can head to the park building to use the restrooms or to gain access to the water fountain. Kohl Park offers a playground for the kids, a picnic pavillion, athletic fileds, tennis courts and toward's the back of the park you'll find an enclosed dog park for your furry friends to enjoy.
