ANIMALS get close to the
elebrating the renewal of life that comes with the season of Spring!”
Quiet Valley Living Historical Farm presents the 34th Annual Farm Animal Frolic magnificent opportunity to experience baby animals firsthand. This popular weekend program will be held two weekends: Saturday and Sunday May 20th & 21st, and Memorial Day Weekend Saturday & Sunday May 27th & 28th. The event also features demonstrations, games, and hands-on activities the whole family will enjoy.
Entertaining and downright adorable, Farm Animal Frolic focuses on educating with a clever mix of fun, taking guests on a journey into how family farms help sustain the nation. Watch chicks hatching from their eggs. Giggle at goats and lambs frolicking about. Feel the soft fur of baby bunnies and more.
Celebrating its 60th year, Quiet Valley preserves an important piece of Pennsylvania’s agricultural heritage. Dressed in period clothing, presenters reenact the day to day life of a German family who lived and worked the farm which included caring for barnyard babies (along with mommies and daddies) from the 1760s to 1913.
On Frolic’s first weekend, don’t miss the Sheep to Shawl demonstration where they will take a freshly sheared fleece, spin it into yarn and weave it into a shawl all in one day. Activities will include traditional children’s games, a children’s show, spring plant sale, and Timeless Treasures vintage collectibles for sale. Sunday afternoons, get a glimpse of a typical school day circa 1893 with One Room School presentations. Historic soldier encampments are also planned for both weekends.
There is nothing more lovable than baby animals! Children and grown-ups alike will get a kick out of a visit to Quiet Valley. This is a wonderful opportunity to learn about farms, farm animals and to spend a day in the beautiful outdoors.
Farm Animal Frolic takes place rain or shine, 10am to 4pm Saturday and Sunday. Admission is $18 for adults and $10 ages 3 thru 12. Kids under age 3 are free. Pre-purchase your tickets online and save! Pony Rides and Horse-drawn Wagon Rides are an additional charge and are weather permitting. Refreshments will be available. No Smoking or Pets. Visit QuietValley.org for more information and to buy tickets.

FARM ANIMAL FROLIC
Exceptional
The Pocono Mountains opens doors to a world of delightful dining experiences. From exquisite restaurant options and tantalizing takeout; to exploring exceptional cook-yourself eats. As such, The Butcher Shoppe’s Marc Zahra welcomes the opportunity to propose a few mouthwatering grilling options sure to ignite intrigue.
Ever consider Alligator, Kangaroo, Elk or Buffalo?
Offering exotic meats and familiar Prime Beef cuts like Rib-eye, Strip and Porterhouse steak for well over 40 years;
this Pocono Lake shop also shares a flair for how to properly prepare.
Recommending “Simple is better,” Marc strongly opposes marinating before cooking. Explaining “It masks the flavor,” he suggests instead using a touch of extra virgin olive oil, along with a light coating of kosher salt, fresh cracked pepper, and granulated garlic before searing.
Stop in at 640 Route 940, for some delicious eats for your upcoming Summer BBQ!

en wings on the sweet side are more your forte then go for honey dill, thai peanut or mango habanero. Perhaps you prefer your wings barbecue style. Sink your teeth into spicy Kick’n, Tennessee Whiskey, Korean BBQ or Honey BBQ
For the less saucy, there are three choices of dry rub wings. See their ad to the right for contact info, location, and website. With so many choices on the wing menu, you will certainly leave both happy and with a full belly after your Wing Night experience!

attraction
mages of the ideal getaway come with a prerequisite it shouldn’t be far away. With higher altitudes assuring you’ll experience natural beauty; a short drive, plus purely magnificent Pocono Mountains scenery, makes the trip to arrive part of the day’s delights.
Excitement builds with expectations of exploring an assortment of amazing destinations like Bushkill Falls. Christened “The Niagara of Pennsylvania,” this unique attraction displays eight wondrous waterfalls cascading over primeval rocks and slate walls that form part of the region’s uplands. Considered one of Pennsylvania’s most beautiful and dramatic natural sights, it’s merely minutes away from Delaware Water Gap near New York and New Jersey.Plan a day away, to witness the site’s main waterfall as it drops over the edge of a 100-foot cliff into a pool banked by ferns and wildflowers; plummeting another 70 feet through a long gorge strewn with colossal boulders. Two streams flowing down the mountainside feed these falls, as trails and bridges wind through the area opening doors to incredible views.
Bushkill Falls is ideally situated near sensational shopping and dining, so grab just the right footwear plus lunch for the onsite picnic area!

Throughout the Spring & Summer
Boulder Field, located in Hickory Run State Park, is a National Natural Landmark and true scenic wonder. This vast field of astounding stone is actually remains of the last ice advance.
While over 15,000 years ago such rocky terrain was common throughout the Northeast; gradual weathering and climate changes have led to the coverage or elimination

of many boulder fields. Only in special places, such as Hickory Run State Park, do these astounding formations remain.
Boulder Field’s surprisingly flat mass measures 400 feet wide, 1,800 feet long and approximately 10 feet deep hosting an amazing assortment of shapes and sizes. A potpourri of loosely packed red sandstone remnants range in
size from a few inches to 25 feet long! A trend of angular in the east side, transitions to more rounded shapes in the west end of the field.
An invigorating exploration, Hickory Run State Park is located in Carbon County at the foothills of the Pocono Mountains. Boulder Field is easily accessible by Boulder Field Road or the scenic 3.5 mile Boulder Field hiking trail.
To learn more about this unique natural wonder, call the Hickory Run State Park Office at (570) 443-0400 or visit dcnr.pa.gov/StateParks/FindAPark/HickoryRunStatePark
