SMALL BUSINESS SATURDAY L

et’s start our Small Business Any Day segment with a reminder. While the official Small Business Saturday suggests supporting our small business owners, friends and neighbors November 25th; let’s savor a significant point with why to react and consider a visit any day.

Supporting those who support the community—was, is, and always will be an important fact for shopping any and all of these establishments. Throw in the opportunity to meet and greet those who craft the wares you’ll soon treasure adds an immeasurable value.

See why, This Week in the Poconos will continue to go above and beyond inspiring visits to go, starting with a few friend “exhibits” below.

Established in 1973, Hutton Pocono Metalcrafts, Inc. PINES has been offering solid copper lanterns, wall art and pewter ornaments for over 40 years. In the shop daily, owners Thomas and Xian Hutton invite all to come by and see what they’ve been making. Whether eager to experience two log cabin showrooms filled with astounding pieces; or interested having these amazingly artistic individuals create your own unique item, Hutton’s has the ideal answer to any gift or home decor uncertainty.

atisfy ALL your “giving” senses with a post-Thanksgiving feast for the eyes thanks to the 13th Annual Holiday Arts Festival at Skytop Lodge, Saturday, November 25th and Sunday, the 26th.

From functional and decorative pottery, metalwork and fused glass; to handmade dolls, fine apparel and wood-turned accessories, all prove variety is the spice of life with opportunities for everyone.

Pocono Mountain Arts Council continues to astound with this “shopping and browsing event” introducing all to the wonders of the region. An exciting mix of new and familiar favorites will be on hand as artists and artisans share not only their latest creations, but insight on the thought process involved.

Continuing the tradition of supporting young artists, a showcase of developing student artwork from Pocono Homeschoolers Association and Evergreen School shares the area’s emerging talent in works like oils, acrylics and mixed media.

“Knowing a bit about the piece you’re buying and the person who has created it always adds enjoyment to your discovery,” is Pocono Mountain Arts Council’s perfectly perceptive reasoning to plan an after holiday outing with friends or family as treasures acquired will continue to inspire for years to come.

Admission is free with the resort’s exquisite Executive Conference Center hosting the event from 10a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday and 10 to 3 Sunday.

Old Time

s a m t s i r h C

W

hether familiar or experiencing anew, Quiet Valley Living Historical Farm’s 27th Annual Old Time Christmas returns with an astounding glimpse at customs for two jolly weekends December 2nd and 3rd then again December 9th and 10th.

Start your own tradition as these peaceful winter farm outings inspire with a look at 19th century holidays through re-enactments and living displays.

Costumed guides lead softly lit lantern tours through the farm every 15 minutes from 3 to 7p.m. with stories and scenes of good cheer that take guests on a journey to the 1800s. Celebrate with music and caroling alongside schoolhouse carolers with excitement building as all await a special visit from Belschnikel—the traditional Pennsylvania German character that appears to remind children it’s never too late to think twice about being nice!

Complimentary hot cocoa and cookies add a finishing touch with handcrafted treasures for sale in the holiday gift shop.

Considered an ideal outing for scout troops, church groups and family get-togethers tours take about an hour and a half to two.

Admission is $10 for adults and $ 5 for children ages 3 to 12 with under age 3 admitted free.
