ctober 17 — Night falls upon the grounds of Scranton Iron Furnaces. A path filled with luminaries and torches guides your way to the sound of bag pipes and drums echoing in the distance. You arrive to a massive kindling set ablaze as it matures to the immense bonfire that is Bonfire at the Iron Furnaces. Transforming the four acre site to its magnificence 150 years before during iron production in the height
of industrial revolution, this popular festival embraces the rich culture entrenched in Scranton with celebration. Ireland’s tradition of Jack O’Lantern carving, Latino Day of the Dead Ofrenda and skull face painting, Diwali or Indian Festival of Lights all enrich the experience with a focus on the theme of harvest. Chester Kulesa, Site Administrator, shares the evening’s objective,
“To create an accessible arts and cultural event for all ages and to engage the community with an important historic site.” Inviting all to absorb theatrical performances, a fire parade and exhibits along with fabulous food and beverages, Bonfire at the Iron Furnaces is set for 6 to 10 p.m. The cost is $15 in advance and $20 the day of with children 12 & under free.

Between the
Vines
A
year has passed since seven area vineyards and wineries launched Pocono Wine Trail and life couldn’t be sweeter. Blue Ridge Estate, Franklin Hill, Tolino, Mountain View, Big Creek, Sorrenti, and Brook Hollow; each triumphantly share the fruits of their labor while echoing the magnificence Pennsylvania plantations to patrons. Savoring success in achieving the objective of introducing Pocono Mountains visitors to the exquisite tastes and talents of these family owned establishments has proven to be a positive partnership. More than merely a clever marketing strategy, faced with frequent guest requests asking where to find the next nearest winery posed an ongoing predicament. Eager to introduce the others, Wine Trail plans were put in place to quench the queries. Quoting Napa Valley winemaker Robert Mondavi, “A business is nothing more than a mere shadow of an individual,” Randy Detrick, owner of Blue Ridge
Estate, applauds the different personalities that have made this entwined viticulture venture victorious. Theoretically, the “Fax Effect” applies to the wine industry he explains noting that one destination pales in comparison to the value in numbers. Reasoning guests not only seek the extraordinary flavors of each destination, he’s observed they crave the experience as well. Mandy Tolino, tells how the home her father Carl loved from afar as a child became the popular Bangor winery. Working alongside siblings Mark, Carl and Liz the family named business has thrived. Collaborating with Wine Trail connections simulates that same strength. Calling fellow members “Like minded individuals” she says “Sharing ideas” brings a fresh perspective enlisting the interests of a variety of wine lovers. Elaine Pivinski tells how the “Never talk about another winery Code of Ethics” Franklin Hill has honored since 1982, translates to today. Congratulating
Photos by: Tolino Vineyards, Blue Ridge Estate Vineyard & Winery, Franklin Hill Vineyards, and Mountain View Vineyard Winery & Distillery
accomplishments and promoting Pennsylvania agriculture and tourism industries as a whole the objective, she adds, “Sustainability supporting local [businesses]” goes beyond PWT. Agreeing, Mountain View’s Linda Rice adds incorporating pairings by including certain food unveils unique flavors of blends. These delicacies, prepared by various establishments throughout the area, serve as a source of recognition for surrounding merchants. “[Pairings enable you to] experience how much food affects wine,” she says. By offering events geared toward enlightening palates, as well as entertainment visitors are able to truly enjoy all the Pocono Mountains has to offer. Forecasting Pennsylvania vineyards increasing popularity, Pocono Wine Trail partners predict a promising future. Set to satisfy that surge they share a commitment to continuing their neighborly nuptials with “cheers” to all.

ADVANTAGE POINT
ach fall as the Pocono Mountains' true colors shine, the urge by many to take in a scenic drive is inevitable. Seizing this opportunity to capture the most stunning, panoramic views, and witness the changing season from a new perspective, Camelback Mountain Resort is offering easy access to the best vantage points high above the treetops. Camelback Mountain Adventure's TreeTop Flyer Scenic Chairlift, the only scenic sky ride in the Pocono Mountains, takes up to four riders on a steel cable sky ride 800 vertical feet from the valley to the peak of Camelback Mountain. The summit offers spectacular sights of the vibrant autumn foliage and often deer, turkeys and other animals can be seen in the forest below. On clear days, the more than 100-mile expanse takes in the sights of the Poconos all the way to the foothills of the Catskill Mountains in New York. This one-of-a-kind Sky Ride experience is a must for locals and for any outdoor enthusiast visiting the Pocono Mountains. Guests can ride the sky ride back to the valley below or take on more adventure and hike the marked trails back down the slopes of Camelback Mountain. The TreeTop Flyer Chair Lift is open weekends from 10am-4 pm and also on Columbus Day. For thrill-seekers and leaf-peepers needing more exhilaration, Camelback Mountain Adventures offers a dose of adrenaline that will not soon be forgotten. From PA’s only Alpine Mountain Coaster, 100 aerial obstacle TreeTop Course, and Mountain Segways, to the country’s longest Twin Zip-Flyer that lets riders soar from the top of Camelback Mountain at speeds up to 50MPH, Camelback offers countless adventures all in one stop.
