Coming Events
Moments that Last a Lifetime:
Face it, life passes you by too fast. We all make an effort to take life by the horns and live it to the fullest. Whether you’ve chosen to include the Pocono Mountains in your repertoire of vacation travels, or elected to pick the area as your fulltime home you’ve always dreamed of; there’s just something about the Poconos that draws you in. Perhaps it’s the awe inspired scenery and nationally known venues complimenting things outdoors and in; like amazing recreational vehicle adventures, horseback riding and go-karts. Or maybe the festivals and nature excursions TWIP collects aid in guiding you on your path to a lifetime of joy. No matter what the reason, take a peek and plan your week with some of these awesome events:

This Week’s Fun Fact comes from the Pennsylvania Game Commission’s William Williams. Did you know... The Peregrine Falcon, a Pennsylvania endangered bird species, feeds exclusively on other birds by striking them in flight. An adult peregrine can reach speeds over 200 miles per hour while in a vertical dive called a “stoop,” traveling faster than any other animal on the planet. Joe Kosack/PGC Photo
