Each year as the ground begins to thaw, ushering in spring and the beginning of the Pennsylvania golf season, planning kicks into full gear for the Manufacturer & Business Association’s annual Golf Classic Tour. The tournament, an early sell-out, mixes business with pleasure, as members of the Association and their guests are invited to tour the greens and fairways of a premier northwest Pennsylvania golf course to help three very worthwhile charitable causes — Pennsylvania Business Week, The Patrick R. Locco Scholarship Awards and The John P. Tramontano Jr. Education Fund.
