Last year was the first time I went to Musikfest in over 10 years and I had a pretty good time. Sunday night, I returned to the annual Lehigh Valley event for some of that tasty food (Abe and I ate $32 worth of food between the two of us, the highlight being the Aw Shucks corn) and [...]

I don’t know about you, but as a 30-something, I love it when I can experience something that makes me feel like a kid again. You know – recapturing that feeling of innocence and finding joy in something simple and beautiful. Fortunately, the region now has a place that can make your kids (and you!) [...]

Remember the days of being a little kid and having the urge to bang on the keys of any piano you came in contact with, only to be scolded about five seconds later by the nearest adult who, for some reason, was not enjoying the cacophony of sounds you were producing?
Well, thanks to Music for [...]

This week  (June 15, 2010) was a milestone for Knoebels Amusement Resort in Elysburg, PA and the entire roller-coaster-enthusiast community. The Phoenix wooden roller coaster turned 25 years old. Although technically it’s much older than that, since it lived its first life as “The Rocket” in San Antonio, TX from 1947 until the Playland [...]

This Sunday, June 13, is the 21st Annual Billtown Blues Festival in Hughesville, PA. This all-day festival takes place at the Lycoming County Fairgrounds and features local, national and international musicians.

Whether you come in the bright sunshine or come to a rainy Lancaster County, we’ve got tons of great things to do! Rain is a good thing for Lancaster, as it helps us to provide the freshest summer produce and ripest, juiciest fruit at our numerous farm markets and roadside stands.
So, if you find yourself [...]

Western Pennsylvania, blessed with more overcast than sunny days (well it sometimes seems that way), has a shining gem of band that plays music that brings to mind blazing white sands and dancing for a week during Carnival.
Led by Eric Schrader, the Greenville High School Steel Drum Band has performed as featured soloists with the [...]

It’s time for the overwhelming visual cacophony that is the Philadelphia Flower Show, with displays that suspend disbelief in a combination Cirque du Soleil-Mummers Parade riot of color and structure.
This grandmommy of all flower shows, now in its 182nd year, offers a globe-trotting theme “Passport to the World.” The show opens Feb. 28 and runs [...]

Until the other day, I had never seen a play/musical/show or anything of that sort. You could only imagine how excited I was to get the opportunity to see RENT on opening night at the Dutch Apple Dinner Theatre with a few friends. It was amazing. I had seen the movie version of the show, [...]

It’s kinda sad to admit it, but the holidays are definitely over (despite the fact that many of my neighbors still have their Christmas trees and outdoor lights up). And you know what that means – the wintertime blahs are s-l-o-w-l-y starting to creep in. If you ask me, there just aren’t enough “distractions” this [...]
