I love being the Socialista for the Pocono Mountains Visitors Bureau! Want to know why?  It gives me an excellent excuse to attend every single awesome event that is held in our four counties.  I have had a busy few weeks and I don't see me slowing down anytime soon.  Let me just recap a few of the highlights of my recent escapades for you...

I'll begin with the serene setting of Big Pocono State Park.  It was a gorgeous Friday afternoon as I drove up Sullivan Trail to the 1,306 acres of rugged terrain on the summit and slopes of Camelback Mountain that make up the park.  I took in the breathtaking views of eastern PA and portions of New York & New Jersey as I witnessed the dedication of two magnificent park benches to Bob Uguccioni (aka Mr. Pocono).  If you are looking for a place to bike or hike head to Big Pocono for the challenge and when you are tuckered out you can bask in the glory or your surroundings while sitting on the new park benches.

My next night out brought me to desaki for their "martinis & manicures" event to benefit Thrive to Survive. I searched through my closet for something pink to wear and finally was rewarded for my effort when a dainty pink & black tank top appeared before my eyes.  The evening was spectacular and raised much needed dollars for the fight against breast cancer.  All the ladies grabbed their best friends and enjoyed the mini-manicures, fantastical martinis and heart tugging fashion show complete with breast cancer survivors & current warriors battling the disease. 

It just so happens that I was drawn back to desaki the following evening for their Local Band Series - Home Grown.  Terri and I, along with a few other socialista types sipped red and white wine respectively and danced to one of our favorite bands the Jim Roberti Trio.  I could go on and on about all the incredible events and attractions we have in the Pocono Mountains but I'm supposed to keep these blogs to fewer than 350 words and I want to save some excitement for next week!  Next time you hear someone say they're bored or have nothing to do... point them in the direction of the Pocono Mountains!

Ciao for now...
