Shawnee Inn, for example, not only is hosting Thanksgiving, but are also offering 2 and 3 night stay packages over the holiday, including hayrides, campfires and tickets to see An O. Henry Christmas at Shawnee Playhouse! They are serving the Thanksgiving meal from 12pm - 4pm, with a delicious buffet menu. For more information, you can visit them at shawneeinn.com.

Drive down Main Street in Stroudsburg this time of year when it's dark, and you get the beautiful sight of all the trees wrapped with white lights. And don't you know, soon enough, the wreaths will be hung on the street lamps and the tree in Courthouse Square will be lit, too! Yes, even though we're having some mild weather, it may not quite feel like the holdiays yet, but they sure are here! Thanksgiving is right around the corner - just a week from tomorrow! Take a ride to Stroudsburg and enjoy the views and excitement of the holidays in the Poconos!!

Everyday at 12:30 pm, Barley Creek in Tannersville offers free tours of their working brewery for all ages, and tasting for those 21 and over. It's a great experience in the Pocono Mountains original brew pub. Hang out and enjoy lunch from their menu, like the Firehouse Chili (which is perfect this time of year) British Pub Style Shepherd's Pie, or some Slow Cooked Pot Roast! And if you wait just a little longer, you can hit Camelback Mountain for some skiing or snowboarding!
