This is an event you won’t want to miss if you’re in the Lake Wallenpaupack area this coming weekend…and if you aren’t planning on coming up, change your plans!
Here’s a blurb explaining from the Hawley Winterfest site, www.hawleywinterfest.com:
Originally established in 1999 to celebrate Hawley’s Victorian roots and the passing from the 19th through the 20th and into the 21st century, Hawley Winterfest has become one of the best-known holiday traditions in the region. Venture to this lovely small town nestled in the lake region of the Pocono Mountains and you will find a jolly dose of activities to delight waiting for you at every turn. From delicious holiday fare to the sounds of the season filling the air, a children’s show at the community theatre, artists and authors mingling with residents and visitors alike, ice carving, gingerbread decorating, the Winterfest Express train ride from neighboring Honesdale, a spin in a horse-drawn carriage, homes boasting decked halls on the holiday house tours, and so much more – all make for a Winter Weekend Wonderland.
You can sign up for House Tours to see some lovely Victorian homes (and hey, maybe you’ll want to BUY one!), attend art shows and flower arranging demonstrations, celebrate at a wine tasting, snuggle up by the bonfire, listen to the Virgin Consort performing A Victorian Christmas, take a Cookie Walk, and SO MUCH MORE. And, best of all, most of it is FREE!
Hope to see you around town this weekend…and if you want to find your dream piece of Lake Wallenpaupack real estate, I’ll be happy to help you look!
Wishing you a VERY Merry Christmas!
