On the Road

Something I have written about often in this column is how convenient Lake Harmony is to a wide variety of activities. The PA Shakespeare Festival shows are an hour’s drive from here to the theater via the Turnpike. Briggs Farm is well under an hour. The Benton Rodeo is an hour and 15 minutes. Bethlehem and its events is just over an hour, door to door. I’ll write about some very good wineries also nearby in another column, though I will mention that this year’s Taste of PA Wine and Foods Festival right here at Split Rock was a very good time.

Back to convenience…as of this column, Ruth and I have made two easy trips to DeSales University to see PA Shakespeare Festival (PSF) performances of Henry IV part 2 and the musical, In The Heights. These were Broadway level performances, just a short drive away (and, at a fraction of Broadway prices). We intend to see at least three more of their offerings before the end of July next up is The Tempest.

I realize that our prime and peaceful portion of the Poconos is hard to pry ourselves from on beautiful summer evenings, but there are some

great reasons to do so sometimes for just an evening, and other times for a day trip.

Thanks to everyone who came out to enjoy the performance of A Midsummers Night’s Dream on Father’s Day afternoon at Big Boulder ski area. The PSF’s youth troupe put on a fine performance.
