Greater Pocono Chamber of Commerce Expo The Greater Pocono Chamber of Commerce will host the 26th Annual Business and Community Expo on Friday and Saturday, March 22 and 23 in East Stroudsburg University’s Koehler Fieldhouse. Showcasing more than 100 local businesses and organizations, the Business and Community Expo is the largest event of its kind in the Poconos. Each year, participating businesses create interactive booths to highlight current promotions and services. Visitors are welcome to browse the displays, meet with representatives and enjoy product sampling and giveaways. Discover the great products and services available in the Poconos! Visit the Expo in the Koehler Fieldhouse on the corner of Smith and Normal Streets in East Stroudsburg! Hours of operation are from 4 p.m. to 8 p.m. on Friday and 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Saturday. Admission costs $2 for adults and $1 for children 12 and under. Additional information is available through the Greater Pocono Chamber of Commerce.

Spring Ahead! Mark your calendars! Daylight Savings Time begins at 2 a.m. on Sunday, March 10. The event precedes the First Day of Spring, which arrives with the Vernal Equinox on Wednesday, March 20, 2013. An equinox occurs when Earth’s axis is tilted neither toward nor away from the Sun; the Sun can be observed directly overhead at the Equator, and day and night are nearly equal in length. Spring brings warmer weather, increased daylight and blooming scenery to the Pocono Mountains. Explore the region in all its springtime glory! Plan your visit today!
