Remember that when the notion of bats bugs you... For more details on these fabulous flying critters check out the Game Commission’s program on PA Bats slated for August 19 at 7 p.m. with a repeat at 8:30 in their Dallas Northeast Region Office, 3917 Memorial Highway.

CLAWS ‘N’ PAWS: a unique animal experience If only we could talk with the animals... What would they possibly say? Would the conversation include the same youthful inquisitiveness frequently followed by a familiar “but why?” Realistically, sounds from our creature counterparts at times do convey a message such as dominance, for example a lion’s roar; but typically are deciphered as we see fit to add to our own pleasant experience. CLAWS ‘N’ PAWS Wild Animal Park understands this, welcoming generations of guests for over 40 years to a world of enjoyment close-by in Lake Ariel. Offering the not so typical zoo visit, CNP’s exhibits place guests face to face with a diverse collection of over 130 entertaining animals. “We wanted to make it as natural as we could,” says Vince Hall. Operating the 30+ acre Pocono facility alongside wife, Bobbi, he describes the inviting shaded trails complimenting the amazing animal sights with comfort throughout the zoo May to Mid-October. From a Main Trail housing Lemur, Lions, Monkeys and more; to a Northwoods Trail with Jaguar, Hawks even two majestic White Tigers. Let’s not forget the equally impressive surrounding sights in the Farmyard and Alligator Trails along with Leopard Loop.
A.J. Matos and D ennis Matos of New Jersey cr ack up in CNP’s Dinosaur Dig area.
Vince calls CNP “kind of unique” as he describes two of his favorite exhibits the Giraffe and Lory Parrot Feeding Areas. Kids and adults alike are able to “ring the dinner bell” with a leafy treat three times a day often getting a boost up to meet their lanky friend or offering a pleasant perch on arms and shoulders for an assortment of beautifully colored winged wonders.
r Darryl Wagne Two year old om fr t os bo gets a . feed his friend to o yJ ar M om
He admits “Mister Big” a bulky Grandm alligator also captures his attention as a must see reasoning, “It’s as close to dinosaurs as you can get.” That is unless you take a stroll over to the Dino Dig where kids grab their archeologist shovels unleashing their imagination on a dig for fossils.
The Gentry family from Nazareth has their own favorites. Visiting CNP “for years” mom Heather and Grandpop Bert join 10 year old Jackson and his little sister Brennah for some hands on entertainment in the Petting Area.
Jackson beams, “It’s really fun going in their cages.”
While Brennah prefers CNP’s assortment of cats including a Bobcat and Jaguar. Though she admits she’s content with a thick glass pane separating her from the fascinating wild felines. Welcoming new and repeat visitors alike to “talk with the animals” and choose their favorites, Claws ‘N’ Paws is open from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. daily just four miles East of Hamlin on Route 590.

Wildflower Music Festival
Back Home AgainA Tribute to John Denver
Wows Over 30 years Scene: Nestled contentedly amidst the seclusion of the tall pines and lush ferns of Dorflinger-Suydam Wildlife Sanctuary in White Mills, a crowd relaxes on blankets and lawn chairs enjoying the tunes of talented artists echoing from nature’s own amphitheater. Backdrop: For 32 years this, the Wildflower Music Festival, has presented melodic performances to audiences craving a tranquil evening outdoors. Outlook: DSWS Director Joan Gillner calls WMF “a great experience” suggesting guests “bring a picnic dinner and favorite beverage [then] relax and enjoy premier music under majestic pine trees.” Saturday shows start at 6 p.m. with first-come basis seating opening at 5 p.m. There’s also a Steppingstones concert series Sundays at 4 p.m. Call (570) 253-5500 or visit www.wildflowermusic.org for details and ticket pricing of performances.

Barley Creek Celebrates Mady’s Snow Day A snow day — a time to create memories, a time for celebration and a time for friends as everyone rejoices in seizing the chance to capture that fleeting feeling of carefree fun. This endearing term bears no seasonal constraints as organizers plan Mady’s Snow Day in memory of Madyson Law with this year’s monumental event August 17 stirring up excitement from noon until 10:30 p.m. at Barley Creek Brewing Company in Tannersville. Keeping in line with the young girl’s ambitions of “compassion and selflessness” by contributing her time to area causes, Mady’s Angels was formed and with that Mady’s Snow Day evolved. This effort in the cache of MA deeds invites all to enjoy a good time while raising funds for area organizations such as Bushkill Outreach and Joey’s Eagles along with helping local families struggling financially with medical expenses. A lineup of stellar musicians are set to take the stage including the Maybabies and the Killer Pines along with Dehart, Christian Porter and other awesome performers; so eat, drink and be merry with family friendly games, raffles, fireworks and more igniting all around community spirit at this year’s Mady’s Snow Day! Cover admission is $10 with half-price admission until 5 p.m. Kids under 6 are free. For more info visit www.madyssnowday.com
