Several years ago, the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania hosted a slogan contest, in hopes of increasing tourism and business. It was called "Penn a Phrase for Pennsylvania" (real catchy, huh!). Below, you'll find a number of slogans suggested by fellow Pennsylvanians, but for some odd reason, they were rejected. These slogans reflect local perspectives on taxes, politics, culture, geography, etc. And yes, the CO takes no responsibility for others' slogans. Enjoy!
- PENNSYLVANIA: Got Amish?
- PENNSYLVANIA: Our potholes are better than your potholes.

Previous official state slogans include: "Pennsylvania, America Starts Here," "You've Got a Friend in Pennsylvania" (1983-1999), "Pennsylvania, Memories Last a Lifetime," and "The State of Independence," the current state slogan.
By the way, the official state motto (which is different from the state slogan) is: "Virtue, Liberty, and Independence." It first appeared on a coat of arms in 1778.
A Lehigh Valley Geocachers geocoin is available to the FTF.

NOTE: Cache is located in the rest area. Do NOT attempt to park your geo-mobile along the Interstate, east or west bound. Use the ample rest area parking lot to begin your search.
There is room for geocoins and SMALL travel bugs.
Congratulations to Team Sergeantsville who claimed the FTF at 8:56 am on 4/18/13!
