merican Candle welcomes internationally renowned designer and folk artist, Jim Shore, for a September 25 signing event from noon to 3 p.m. in Bartonsville. Part of a coast-tocoast, or shall we say Shore-to-
shore tour; this unique talent will share his inspiration for popular works including Heartwood Creek®; Disney Traditions® and Rudolph Traditions® collections from Enesco, along with the new Peanuts by Jim Shore™. “Jim [Shore] has a fabulous rapport with the customers, smiles American Candles’ Susan Hunter adding, “He takes time to talk with everyone signing each piece and taking photos.” Considering a meeting with the artist responsible for such amazing creations “a wonderful opportunity,” she describes the experience as a way for fans to join in reflecting upon, “His [Shore’s] pride and love for his work” suggesting a preevent purchase of items to be signed with a wide assortment available.

by Jim Doherty; and chainsaw sculptures, to new sights including the Classic K9 Performance Team.

his Week’s Fun Fact comes from Jeff Woehrle of Woehrle’s Bait Shop in Mount Pocono
Did you know... The United States’ most popular bait for fishing actually comes from Canada? The Canadian Nightcrawler’s wiggly worth reflects in over 600 million worms imported every year! That’s some pretty important imports, wouldn’t you agree? Hooked on This Week in the Poconos Fun Facts? We’ll keep digging for more!
