The Happy Valley Adventure Bureau and community leaders had a hand in helping Centre County navigate the pandemic's economic challenges, be positioned for recovery.
Since its launch in October 2019, Happy Valley Agventures has helped to raise greater awareness about Centre County’s robust agricultural product.

Without football in Happy Valley, this fall will be unlike any other in recent memory. Through the promotion of safe and responsible visitation, we have an opportunity to show all that makes Happy Valley a desirable place to visit, live and work all year long.
