Hourglass will host a Lancaster County Trailblazers forum on Tuesday, Sept. 10, from 5 to 7:30 p.m. at the Ware Center, 42 N. Prince St., Lancaster. The event will focus on the potential of outdoor recreation as a driver of community and economic development in Lancaster County.

Nathan Reigner, director of Pennsylvania's newly established Office of Outdoor Recreation, will deliver the keynote address. Reigner will discuss the state's strategy to develop Pennsylvania's outdoor economy and its opportunities for Lancaster County, emphasizing the transformative impact of outdoor investments on tourism, workforce development, entrepreneurial opportunities, and overall quality of life.

The event will feature a reception with complimentary beer, wine, and hors d'oeuvres; a presentation of the latest developments in outdoor recreation locally, including multimodal trails, water trails, and new nature preserves; and a panel discussion with local leaders from EDC Lancaster, Lancaster Conservancy, Discover Lancaster, the Little Conestoga Blue/Green Corridor Project, and Quarryville Borough.
