arm fresh sweet corn and savory BBQ just go great together...summer-a-festively speaking of course. And what better way to validate such a veracious vow than Shawnee sharing how to get your hands on some of the best eats in town at this year’s Sweet Corn & BBQ Festival 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. August 12th and 13th. Go on get to planning a weekend where gathering 25 vendors, nonstop live entertainment and family fun for all are quite the draw. Whether wanting beef, pork or chicken; Memphis, Carolina, Texas and Kansas City BBQ styles ignite finger licking action. Add brews, plus festival treats

like funnel cake, ice cream, soft pretzels and there you have it— SMILES to GO! It’s an awesome time to grab seconds, thirds (maybe not forks) as hands-on eatertainment is the idea with wet naps aplenty on standby. While eating is the objective, Western themed performances are also considered quite the draw with The Brian Dean Moore Band on stage under the huge fest tent. Country line dancing demos and instructions strut their stuff in front of the main stage; and familiar favorite Liz Nordstrom Trio shares tunes in the air-conditioned EZ Bumps Saloon.

Just can’t get enough of that local stuff? No need to leave empty handed as take home opportunities will help bring back memories of this sensational celebration you can savor time and time again. So put on your Pie Face, for the Pie Eating Contest of course, and place yourself into the Shawnee Sweet Corn & BBQ Festival! Grab tickets at the gate for $12.50 adults & $8.50 kids ages 5-12 with age 4 and under FREE. Online Advanced Admission Tickets offer discounts you can really sink your teeth into. Considering a second helping? 2-Day deals are just $15 in advance & $17 at the gate.

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 to grab just the right footwear plus lunch for the onsite picnic area. Explore for Yourself Right Here at visitbushkillfalls.com

his Week’s Fun Fact comes from Rick Bodenschatz with the Historical Association of Tobyhanna Township.

Did you know... Poor maps of the new world led to King Charles II granting the same land that became the domain of both Pennsylvania and Connecticut. Fighting blossomed to war in 1769 between settlers from Connecticut and Pennsylvanians who already laid claim to the lands. Interrupted by the Revolutionary War then resumed in 1784, combating finally ceased 10 years later after both sides accepted the decision of the Continental Congress. This was known as the YankeePennamite War.
