I know it's still fall, but ski season is right around the corner here in the Poconos! It's NOVEMBER already, and Shawnee Mountain reports that weather permitting, they will being making snow mid-November with a target date to open of November 27! That's only 3 WEEKS AWAY! Camelback Mountain Resort is reporting that they will be open for the winter season on December 4, but may adjust to an earlier day weather permitting. Get your skis and snowboards waxed and sharpened, bundle up and get ready to go! Both Shawnee and Camelback Mountains can be easily found nestled in the Pocono Mountains! Shawnee Mountain is located in the Village of Shawnee, and Camelback is in Tannersville.
Another great way our community here in the Pocono Mountains is coming together! Rose Schoch, owner of Schoch Harley Davidson/Buell in Snydersville, has written a book to raise funds for the rebuilding of the Blakeslee Farm that was destroyed in a tornado this past summer. But it's not just an ordinary book! It's part cookbook (with some home-grown recipes), with pieces about our area written by guest writers and historians. It runs 125 pages and sells for $19.95, with all the proceeds going to the Blakeslees, less printing costs. This book can be found at Schoch Harley Davidson in Snydersville, or on-line at harleyclothes.com. Enjoy reading about our great Pocono area!
A big day in Bartonsville today! At 8am, the new Giant grocery stored opened their doors! Located where the old truck stop was, it is prime location, nestled near Routes 80, 611 & 33. It looks like a large store as I drive by! There is also a new Red Lobster located in the same complex, which should be opening soon. The Giant hired 240 full and part time employees! More good news for the Poconos!
Remember last season's American Idol? It was the "Battle of the Davids", and David Archuleta was the very young runner up. David will be giving the Poconos a Christmas concert at the Sherman Theater in Stroudsburg on December 18 at 7:30pm! For only $30, you can enjoy the "Christmas From the Heart Tour" and get into the Christmas spirit! For more information, go to shermantheater.com!
Daylight Savings Time comes to an end this weekend! "Spring Ahead and Fall Back" is the saying. Don't forget to turn your clocks back an hour after you've celebrated Halloween on Saturday night (ok, officially, turn them back at 2am on Sunday)! Although there are a few places that don't participate in daylight savings time, we sure do here in the Poconos! I didn't realize there was so much information and history about daylight savings time! If you're interested, or just have a few minutes to spare, check out webexhibits.org/daylightsaving/nodes.html and read about it!
