L​iberty Mountain Resort is finishing up its latest project - an outdoor ice rink at the foot of its ski slopes in Carroll Valley.
 
The 4,000-square-foot rink is oval- shaped and is expected to accommodate about 70 skaters at a time, the resort reported. It will be used only for recreational skating and guests can rent skates on site. The rink will be open daily.
 
Also included in this project is a wooden pavilion, stone fireplace and outdoor seating area. In the summer months, the ice skating area will become a grass lawn and the pavilion can be used for weddings and other special events.
 
Liberty Mountain Resort has not announced an opening date.
 
This project follows Liberty Mountain Resort's completion and opening last year of its new Highland Lodge, which features new hotel rooms, spa, golf pro shop and meeting and banquet rooms overlooking the Carroll Valley Golf Course.

For the second year in a row, the readers of Groups Today magazine named Gettysburg one of the Top 5 destinations in the Eastern United States, the latest issue announced. 
 
The designation was made as part of the trade magazine's Reader's Choice Awards, where its readers - mostly operators of group travel companies - voted on the top destinations in each region.
 
Gettysburg was joined by New York City - the top destination - as well as Atlantic City, N.J.; Cape Cod, Mass.; and Providence, R.I.
 
Groups Today Magazine also named Gettysburg's Courtyard by Marriott Hotel the top hotel in the Eastern United States for a second straight year.
