2 THE POCONO TIMES

On Saturday, Oct. 14, at 8 p.m. the Downtown Hawley Partnership, in partnership with Harmony Presents, will showcase the third Hawley Harvest Hoedown Bluegrass & Folk Concert at the Ritz Company Playhouse in Hawley. This concert serves as the culminating event after the day’s Hawley Harvest Hoedown fall festivities.

In 2014 and 2015, the concert was composed of three high-power bluegrass and folk bands from around the country, and this year is no different.

“Our mix of performers this year will enchant and thrill,” said Jill Carletti, managing director of Harmony Presents. “Sometimes bands appear out of nowhere and make a sound so enticing and exciting, it’s like they’re the product of something divine, delivering new life into an audience through song. Our headliners, Driftwood, are an example of that. With compelling musicianship on bluegrass instruments, Driftwood blends oldtime, country, rock and folk with a heart free of

inhibition.”

In both 2014 and 2015, popular north-east bluegrass band, The Coal Town Rounders headlined the Hawley Harvest Hoedown Bluegrass & Folk Concert. The band has since stopped playing together, but Chris Kearney, the lead singer and guitarist for the band will emcee for 2017 as he had in years past. Carletti adds, “We may even get lucky and get to hear Chris play a song or two.”

She continues, “We’re also so excited about our opening bands, Colebrook Road and Mountain Ride, who can easily stand strong on their own. For traditional bluegrass lovers, you’ll find everything you love and more in Colebrook Road. A standout string band, Colebrook Road has won award after award for their exuberantly creative songwriting, material and instrumentation. Bluegrass-jam band appreciators will be thrilled by Mountain Ride, whose old-time picking is tastefully colored with stylish, progressive, new grass hands. This band poignantly delivers

genuine sound with a message of integrity. It’s not trying to emulate anything. It’s honest to the core and the expression is authentic. Mountain Ride expertly pushes familiar bluegrass into new, uncharted regions, for a truly glorious mountain ride.”

Tickets for the show are available online at hawleyharvesthoedown.com or by calling 570-588-8077. Tickets may also be purchased in person at Doodles and Such on 121 Main Ave. in Hawley. Tickets are $18 to $25 plus fees. There are also Apple Bobber Sponsorships available for $125 which include two VIP tickets to the show.

WMH breaks ground

Wayne Memorial Hospital (WMH) recently broke ground on construction for the biggest expansion in its history. Close to 200 people attended the ceremony. The Honesdale-based hospital is building a new 85,000 square foot patient tower which will house 50 private patient rooms. The private rooms are designed to help reduce the potential for infection, reduce noise, increase communication between the patient and his/her clinical team and enhance comfort.

At the same time, the hospital is renovating 35,000 square feet of existing space, including expanding and adding more private space to chemotherapy and wound care.

Wayne Memorial Board Chairman Dirk Mumford and CEO David Hoff both called the $40 million project “exciting and significant.”

Easy ways to trim wedding costs

Couples planning their weddings realize pretty quickly just how expensive weddings can be.

Depending on where couples tie the knot, the costs can stretch into the tens of thousands of dollars, leaving many young men and women to scramble to find ways to trim costs without trimming quality.

Many couples look for ways to cut wedding costs, and couples facing that very dilemma should know that there are several ways to save money but still host the wedding of their dreams.

GuEst list Guest lists can consume a significant portion of couples’ wedding budgets. When compiling the guest list, couples should keep in mind that guests will need save-the-date cards, invitations, catered meals (including cocktail hour, dinner and dessert), drinks, and gifts (including hotel gift bags and wedding favors). So the cost per guest will be more than just the per person cost of the meal couples negotiate with their caterer. Couples who can pare their guests lists down to just family and close friends can save a substantial amount of money without affecting their ceremonies.

REcEption A couple’s wedding reception also will chew up a lot of their wedding budgets. But there are ways to reduce the costs of receptions, too. Couples planning on having a morning wedding can shift their receptions from the evening to the afternoon, when the cost per meal will be considerably less. Afternoon receptions also can be alcohol-free, saving couples even more money. If a nighttime reception is a must-have, choose a limited cash bar instead of an open bar. Limited cash bars often provide guests with free beer and house wine while guests who prefer liquor or mixed drinks must pay for their

Rehearsal dinner how-to

Many couples find their wedding rehearsal dinners to be relaxing respites from the whirlwind of wedding planning. Such dinners enable the happy couple to slow down and enjoy themselves in a relatively casual gathering with their closest friends and family members.

Rehearsal dinners typically take place in the night or two before the wedding. The couple, members of their wedding party, the parents of the bride and groom and others involved in the wedding typically attend this dinner. The couple generally takes the time at the dinner to thank ARRAnGEmEnts everyone for their contributions to the wedding Floral arrangements are a big and potentially and to offer some small gifts of appreciation.

hearsal dinners. The bride and groom can suggest their ideas, but ultimately it is the person handling the bill who has the final say. Couples who want greater control over the rehearsal dinner festivities can suggest hosting it themselves.

Despite its name, the rehearsal dinner doesn’t actually have to be a dinner, as couples can opt for meals at a different time of the day, like brunch or lunch. An earlier occasion gives guests plenty of time to get home and rest up for the festivities of the wedding to come.

Toasts are expected at the rehearsal dinner, but they tend to be spontaneous, off-the-cuff remarks.

A couple with a good sense of humor might not mind being roasted at their rehearsal dinners.

The bride and groom should expect to say a few words of thanks to all in attendance, but remarks need not be too formal.

Rehearsal dinners may even feature a little entertainment. Tech-savvy parents may put together a presentation with videos or photographs that chronicles the couple’s lives separately and their life together.

Rehearsal dinners provide an opportunity for couples and their families to spend time together before the larger festivities of the wedding pull them in multiple directions. Plus, they set a fun tone for the wedding weekend to come.

The modern bridal shower may trace its origins the 1890s. The Old Farmer’s Almanac says the first bridal shower hostess filled a paper parasol with small presents and turned it over the head of the bride-to-be. Soon the concept caught on, and many other women began “showering’ future brides in such a manner. Naturally, as presents became larger and heavier, the tradition of literally showering the bride with gifts was modified — but the name has stuck.

Bridal showers are designed to equip couples with many of the necessities to start their new life together. This custom is believed to have evolved from an old dowry system, in which

a bride was expected to bring valuables to the marriage. The dowry was originally intended as compensation for the burden of supporting a wife placed on the groom. Some parents of the bride were not rich enough to afford an ample dowry, so friends and family members would offer small gifts to help offset this financial responsibility.

Today, both the bride and groom are equal partners in the marriage, bringing together their collective wealth. However, showers are still held regardless of the financial need of the bride as a way to offer good wishes before she embarks on her new journey.

Customize your ceremony to give it a unique touch Steeped in tradition, weddings have featured many of the same components for centuries. Those about to tie the knot may feel somewhat limited in their ability to shape their weddings into unique celebrations of their relationships and love for one another. Although it may not seem like there are many opportunities to put your own stamp on the wedding, there are plenty of ways to do just that.

When looking to personalize your wedding ceremony, determine if there might be anything blocking you from doing so. For example, if yours will be a religious ceremony, there may be certain rites that need to be followed. Secular ceremonies may offer more opportunities to customize.

• Vows: Vows are one of the easiest ways to put a personal touch on your wedding.

You can select the words you want to exchange during the ceremony as well as any readings during the service. Work with your officiant to narrow down particular phrasing or sentiments that fit with your vision of the wedding and relationship.

• Participants: Wedding party members fulfill certain roles during the ceremony, but they are not limited to those tasks alone.

Consider asking wedding party members or other friends or family members to take on specialized roles in the wedding. They may be able to do certain readings, escort guests to their seats, light candles or sing and participate in other ways.

• Musical interludes: Choose music that connects with your personalities as a couple rather than selecting standard songs merely because they are the easier route. Work with the organist or other musicians and request that they perform or play musical pieces that you enjoy.

• Candle lighting: Many couples like to incorporate candle-lighting components to their ceremonies. Lighting unity candles blends two families together into one in a symbolic way. Other couples choose different traditions, such as mixing two differentcolored sands in a new vessel, to represent the joining of two lives together. You can consider these types of additions for your wedding ceremony or come up with your own unique tradition.

Impart a special touch to a wedding ceremony in any number of ways. Doing so will help set this special day apart in the minds of guests and make it even more memorable to look back on as a couple.

Inspiration boards bring wedding plans to life Making the wedding of your dreams a reality may require some creativity.

It can be challenging to organize all of the creative ideas swimming around in your head, but inspiration boards may be able to help.

Inspiration boards, sometimes referred to as idea boards, are commonly used by interior designers, artists, writers and even wedding planners.

Such boards can serve a great purpose when starting a new project, especially if all of your creative ideas seem to lack cohesion. Sometimes seeing things together, rather than in bits and pieces on their own, can fuel even more creativity.

Inspiration boards can include magazine clippings, photographs, fabric swatches, quotes or literary passages and color swatches. As the idea board grows, you may find a common denominator among your inspirational elements. This can help determine a theme for your wedding or jump-start

other planning.

While poster boards may be more traditional idea boards, creative ideas also can be compiled in binders or scrapbooks, which work especially well at keeping all items organized and concise. Plus, they’re portable, which means you can take a scrapbook to a meeting with a wedding vendor and show him or her your concepts for the wedding.

Later, when photographers, florists and other vendors have been booked, you can attach receipts or agreements to the inspiration board for future reference. This keeps all of your important wedding information in one place rather than requiring you to search through different folders or files for important documents. In addition, if friends or family members ask for advice on vendors and planning their own weddings in the future, you can readily access your inspiration board.

To start building your own board or book, take clippings of photos or articles that resonate with you.

As you visit bridal shops and other stores, take fabric swatches and pictures of particular looks. Attend bridal shows and take home promotional materials. Remember, inspiration may not always come from bridal-related resources.

Anything you come across in your daily life — such as window-shopping at a furniture store or passing an art exhibit — may inspire some creativity.

Inspiration boards are used by top design professionals and can be a handy resource for couples planning their weddings.

“KAIdOKU”

SUDOKU!

Each of the 26 letters of the alphabet is represented in this grid by a number between 1 and 26. Using letter frequency, word-pattern recognition, and the numbers as your guides, fill in the grid with well-known English words (HINT: since a Q is always followed by a U, try hunting down the Q first).

Only lowercase, unhyphenated words are allowed in kaidoku, so you won’t see anything like STOCKHOLM or LONG-LOST in here (but you might see AFGHAN, since it has an uncapitalized meaning, too).
