There’s also the Lancaster Heritage Trail, a paved biking and walking trail that spans four scenic miles. “You’re going to see a little bit of everything here,” Ruffino says. “There’s a lot of things going on, a lot of amenities, great parks and recreation. We have a lot to offer.” The town will soon have another feature to add to its long list of attractions.

The company is Premier Dog Sports & Event Center and it will be the only dog training facility in the state. “We were the first ones to land this type of operation in New York State,” Ruffino says. “Everything else is in Pennsylvania, Ohio, Canada, and so on.” Having a facility of this caliber will be a huge draw for Lancaster, and make it a go- to destination. “When they came in front of the LIDA board, numerous people came and supported them from all over,” Ruffino says. “These people are going to come into this facility and train dogs for shows. Not only that, but they are going to host shows here, too. So you’re going to have people coming from not just Lancaster, but Ohio, Pennsylvania, Syracuse, Rochester, and maybe even as far as California. You’re definitely going to get Canada here. There
