If you've never been to Zerns....... well its kind of hard to describe Zerns is a must see. I worked for Boyertown Casket Company, Boyertown, PA and was transferred back to the home office in the late 80's from Ohio. Everyone said we had to go to "The Sale", which is what the locals call Zerns, Could not believe it. Very unique! I walked out of there and expected to see the parking lot full of buses that had brought the characters, I mean people, in. I had been back there many times over the years for meetings but never knew such a cast of characters existed. I knew they had to be imported thus my looking for the buses. Casket Company closed and we moved back to Ohio but we still continue to go back to area to visit friends several times a year. On one of our return visits our grandson, who was 4 or 5 at the time, was with us and a trip to Zerns was in order. After walking around for about an hour he stopped and looked up at us and said "are we at the circus?". Yes, Zerns is a must visit when in the area. We will be at Macungie this year and when we leave on Sunday we will go 20 miles down route 100 to Bechtelsville, where we use to live, and spend a few days visiting friends and touring the area. We only lived there for two years but we fell in love with the area and never miss a chance to get back there.
