ICE A

n entICE’ing way to celebrate a season switchover, Sculpted Ice Works welcomes the opportunity to share “Pennsylvania’s Premier Wineries” with Spring Thaw Ice & Wine Festival April 29 from noon to 5 p.m. While this familiar Lakeville destination favors frost; rolling in live ice carving with a mix of entertainment, food and local vendors, ignites a mature crowd reaction to want to join in all the action.

Sit back and “chill” with some scrumptious BBQ, craft shopping and more; including a Factory Tour and chance to explore the Ice Harvest Museum. Enjoy the taste of Antler Ridge, Grovedale, Renegade, and Maiolatesi

wineries; along with Capra Collina and Lucchi Family Wine Cellars as you browse a collection of artisan selections.

Fathead Peppers, Country Girl Kettle Corn and Etching by Nicole blend nicely with an organizer goal of bringing them, “All together in one fabulous location.” Add in Lularoe by Ashley & Samantha, Debs Wood Crafts plus Chloe & Isabel by Kaylynn and you’re in for an enjoyable afternoon, so order tickets online in advance for $20 or at the door for a few bucks more ($25) and we’ll see YOU at Spring Thaw!

ountry Junction—noted as the “World’s Largest General Store,” shares a FUN side...literally! With a whole left property side of the Lehighton site suitably serving as Country Junction Event Center, families can come and enjoy fun events and festivals galore. Weekends, an indoor Ballistic Battlezone finds friends set to roam and rally an adrenaline filled Nerf war. Birthday party packages propel participants into an all out celebration with themed party packages including princesses and superheroes sending a mix of imagination and excitement. While this opportunity creates an ideal way to be, it’s the Junction’s latest addition folding fun for all that’s drawn other generations in. Escape It joins the nationwide Escape Room craze with Titanic and Vacancy. These two experience options offer the chance to test your skills, while unique surprises capture thrills. Titanic puts “passengers” inside the smoking room of the ship. No need to be a history buff to break free from this pseudo-of-thesea, as calculating wit serves as a life preserver for participants.

Vacancy invites guests to grasp how to handle being held up in an undesirable hotel room where teamwork and brain power combine to find a way out. Rattling off riddles, clues help lead to a key to use for flight.

Surviving a post-apocalyptic world serves as the scene as a search for other survivors sends a sigh of relief...or does it? It’s a matter of trust that thrusts uncertainty on who to be with or without.

“It’s the most fun you’ll ever have locked in a room,” comments Country Junction Events Coordinator Angela Moyer.

Whether seeking a party planning remedy or day/night out with the family, Country Junction sends certainty that this destination should be the “center” of attention.

Announcing Escape It creators are crafting a new experience, Apocalypse, she describes how to harness action of the new attraction.

Stay up to date on festival finds as Moyer reminds,” We look forward to seeing you here at Country Junction Event Center—the best place for a great family fun!”

pring—a particularly perfect time to show creativity is in full bloom, has Shawnee Playhouse sharing a superb ballet rendition of the children’s classic, Sleeping Beauty. The performance presented by C & K Dance, steps inside the story of Princess Aurora as she’s entranced by the spell of the evil fairy Carabosse. Encouraging young audiences to embrace a love of the theater, Aurora played by Katie Schlemmer, joins a talented cast balancing thrills, as the lovely 16 year old

falls under Carabosse’s curse; with happiness and relief as her prince breaks the 100 year enchantment. Entertaining and enjoyable, this Children’s Show runs approximately 60 minutes with weekend dates both day and evening. Conveniently located at 552 River Road in Shawnee on Delaware, Shawnee Playhouse continues cultivating an admiration for the theater with a variety of performances as we progress through spring, summer and fall.
