Centre County property with centurylong history as restaurant, event space up for sale

Soaring over the top of Mount Nittany, a bald eagle surveys the landmark that has stood the test of time for more than 100 years. The Mt. Nittany Overlook Event Center has the best view of the rolling terrain of Penns Valley, and the eagle swoops in to see who is standing in the parking lot near the blooming flower beds. Mt. Nittany Overlook Event Center sits atop Mount Nittany (aka Centre Hall mountain) between Centre Hall and Pleasant Gap. Visitors walking into the building find a reception desk, on this day staffed by Kit Henshaw. “I like to watch the hawks fly by,” she said as she walked to the back porch to show off the peak mid-October foliage from the top. “When I have time to sit and watch them, that is,” she added, smiling. As co-owner of the property with her husband, Harrison Schailey, Henshaw spends much of her time in her office, on the computer, responding to booking requests and making plans for parties that are booked into 2027: weddings, retirements, training sessions, memorial services, all the hallmarks of life. The Mt. Nittany Overlook Event Center is for sale . The historic property has cycled through

Worker terminations and VFW struggles follow Harrisburg skill games fiasco

(The Center Square) - Veterans of Foreign Wars official John Getz Jr. warned posts around Pennsylvania for years that so-called "skill games" were not a reliable long-term revenue source, and now that they are illegal he said it's possible some posts could close. Meanwhile, Joe Calla's company recently had to pull thousands of its newly illegal machines from venues around the state and issue 60-day notices of termination to 81 employees. Getz and Calla are part of the multitude affected by state government's protracted failure to devise a way to legalize the machines. They have been bringing in money for years to clubs, bars, military service organization posts and the like, but were declared to be illegal slot machines in a Supreme Court ruling earlier this year. Even when given an extra 120-day window by the court to come up with a solution, the Legislature and Gov. Josh Shapiro struck out. The window closed Oct. 13. Getz, state adjutant for the VFW, said some of the posts "relied on them to pay bills," Getz said. Calla is chief operating officer for Republic Amusements, which has three subsidiaries and overall had thousands of its machines placed in 1,100 locations around Pennsylvania.
