This year, Halloween falls on a Saturday, so all the townships in Monroe County will be having trick or treat on Halloween night! It's for children ages 12 and under.
Below are times for the trick or treaters. If you're handing out treats, keep your porch light on so the kids know they can knock on your door. If you're a trick or treater, please be safe!
The Animal Welfare Society of Monroe County is a no-kill shelter for our animals, opening in the old PSPCA building in Stroudsburg. With a lot of volunteers and donations from the community and local businesses, they will be opening on November 14, and not a minute too soon! Unfortunately we have a lot of homeless pets in our area. If you would like to volunteer, donate, or be a foster home, please visit awsomanimals.org! Also on the website is a page of adoptable pets, if you are looking for a 4-legged furry friend!
Hiding in Tannersville is The Nature Conservancy's Cranberry Bog. It's a 775-acre preserve and was once a huge glacial lake. Today, you can find a host of beautiful plants and shrubs like calla lillies, orchids, bog rosemary and so much more. The bog also provides habitat for many mammals including bears, otters, bobcats, beavers, porcupines, minks and snowshoe hares. The bog has limited hours, but worth a trip to see this beautiful natural wonder in the Pocono Mountains. Especially now with the stunning fall foliage in front of us. Although the bog will still be there, the fall foliage is only here for a short while longer! For more information, visit mcconservation.org! Have a great time!
Halloween is right around the corner, and it's not complete until you see The Rocky Horror Picture Show! Head to The Sherman Theater on Halloween Night, Saturday, October 31, for a viewing of this classic! It's the annual pre-party and screening of this show at The Sherman Theater on Main Street, Stroudsburg! Performed traditionally with film projection and live cast participation, this is a great $10 spend!! Pre-party begins at 10pm, doors open at 9:30pm, and movie starts at midnight! For more information, visit shermantheater.com!
We already knew that based on visitors per year, our very own Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area ranked pretty high. But it is also one of the top 10 best national parks for fall foliage, according to the Naional Park Foundation. The list was released as part of a photography contest. Out of 391 national parks, we are in the top 10! It is a beautiful area, and with our fall foliage peak right now, take a trip out to the Poconos Mountains and take in all our area has to offer!
