15 Years of
Painting with Polishook In 1997, artist Joan Polishook invited some friends and fellow artists to join her as she painted outdoors. Fifteen years later, Polishook and her peers are still painting “en plein air,� but the outings have grown in participation and frequency to become anticipated events in the local art community. Her public Come Paint with Me sessions take place every Thursday from June through October at various locations in the Poconos. Come Paint with Me is a free, non-instructional program open to artists of all ages and abilities. Sessions take place from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. and include ample time for painting with a break for lunch, discussion and gentile critique. The next Come Paint with Me excursion will take place on the grounds of the Shawnee Inn on Thursday, August 30. Participants meet at 10 a.m. at the River Pavilion. Bring your own supplies and refreshments. For more information and a complete schedule of events, visit www.joanpolishook-art.com, or call (570) 775-6896.

Wally Lake Fest 2012 Wally Lake Fest returns to the shores of Lake Wallenpaupack on Friday, August 24 through Sunday, August 26. The event, now in its third year, celebrates the “Big Lake” as its summer season comes to a close. This year’s festival is full of activities planned all around the Lake Region. Festivities begin Friday with the Hawley Farmers’ Market and live entertainment throughout the region. Burden on Society will perform at Ehrhardt’s Waterfront Resort, and the Settlers Inn will host “Blues, Brews and Barbecue,” with live music from The Liberto Trio from 5 to 9 p.m. Saturday’s schedule is packed with indoor and outdoor fun. Activities start at 10 a.m., and include an Open Market Fair, a motorcycle “Ride for the Lake,” free kayak trials and sailboat rides, a sand sculpture contest, a boat parade and more! Four bands will perform throughout the day on a floating stage in front of the Visitors Center, and many local venues will offer live music in the evening hours. Celebrations continue Sunday with the Open Market Fair, a lakeside breakfast buffet at Ehrhardt’s, PPL Dam and Power House tours, fly casting demos, and even a wing eating contest! These are just some of the many great events taking place on the Big Lake this year. For more information and a complete schedule of events, visit www.wallylakefest.com or call (570) 226-2141.
