Incorrect, my friend! The Camptown Race Song is from central Virginia - just outside Ashland, Virginia.
Camptown Races:
Telephone: 804-752-6678
Who hasn't sung Camptown Races" with its race track five miles long, oh, de doo-da day." Camptown Races will be held on May 12 this year at Graymount Park, which is two miles north of Ashland, Virginia. These thoroughbred flat races are always held on the second Saturday in May.

Blue Bell, located within the Philadelphia metropolitan area north of Philadelphia near Norristown, is virtually due east of Blue Ball, which is in Pennsylvania Amish country.
Both towns are approximately 40 miles apart from each other.

Visit the Christmas Museum in Paradise (off route 30). It sounds corny but is really quite darling. There are also some very good restaurants in Lancaster (I go there on business and was much surprised).

Visit Bushkill Falls in the Delaware Water Gap recreational area. Beautiful waterfalls and great hiking.

BTW -- How much do you tip a cow? I usually go with the standard 15-20%, unless they have their hoof out for more. But I have also heard some tip as much as 30%, but I think that is bull.
