"Weona Park Prepares for Weona 100"
Pen Argyl Borough is pleased to announce upcoming celebrations to mark the 100th Anniversary of Weona Park. The Borough requests volunteers, personal stories from Community for “Weona 100.” A joint committee of borough officials and residents are planning a weekend of “Weona 100” festivities and activities on June 19-20, 2020. The Weona 100 committee will be active through the year leading up to the centennial celebration weekend with events at the borough’s Founder’s Day, held at the Park in June 2019, and the Lookout Fire Company Labor Day parade in September 2019. A commemorative booklet and accompanying calendar will also be published detailing the history of the park. The committee is seeking community volunteers to assist with and serve as actors on the float as well as to pen personal accounts of their times at Weona Park for the booklet. “The booklet and calendar will highlight the fun times of past and present at Weona. We want to involve as many community members as we can in this and honor the origins of Weona Park,” said Borough Councilwoman and Weona 100 Chair Roberta Cowley. “Any community service organization, scout group, school group or other interested party is invited to be a part of Weona 100.” Photos and stories of Weona Park memories can be submitted to the by contacting the committee organizers or through the Weona 100 – Weona Park Centennial Celebration Facebook page. Weona Park, founded in June 1920, was built through the collaborative efforts of many townspeople. The approximately 19-acre park is located on Route 512 in Pen Argyl. Today, Weona Park features a historic Dentzel carousel in addition to a miniature golf course, basketball court, skate park, baseball field, band shell, pavilions and playground. Many community events are celebrated at the park, from Easter egg hunts to summer carnivals, concerts and school rallies among others. For more information about the Weona Park 100th Anniversary plans, contact Roberta Cowley at 484-695-2994 or email [email protected]
Today's Special Slate Belt Area Events....... Lunch With The Author The Blue Mountain Community Library invites you to “LUNCH WITH AN AUTHOR” on Thursday, April 25, 2019 at Grace United Methodist Church, 404 E. Mountain Ave., Pen Argyl, PA. The Church is handicapped accessible with ample parking. (Enter from the lower parking lot.) Local author, Maryann McFadden will discuss her novel “The Cemetery Keeper’s Wife,” her longest and most challenging work to date. It tells the story of two brave and complicated women, one real and one fictional, and an unlikely bond that transcends more than a century as they search against all odds for love, redemption and a place to belong. McFadden moved at age 10 from Brooklyn, NY to Hackettstown, NJ and lived near Union Cemetery. She became intrigued by a monument in the Cemetery. The name and picture on the monument was of Tillie Smith, a 19 year old woman who “Died in Defense of Her Honor.” This haunted Maryann and she felt as if she was meant to write this novel, to give Tillie a voice. McFadden will have a question and answer session about her book and a Book signing. Copies will be available to purchase. Luncheon, catered by Cafe ’on Broadway, will be at 12:00 pm (Doors open at 11:30 am) and will consist of soup, sandwich, chips, desserts and beverages.

31st Annual Farm Animal Frolic
Quiet Valley’s 31st annual Farm Animal Frolic is May 18, 19 and May 25, 26, Saturdays 10 am to 4 pm, and Sundays noon to 4 pm.
To folks in the 21st century springtime means warmer weather, flowers blooming and the return of robins. In the early 1800s it meant fresh greens became available, a real treat after a bland winter diet. The kitchen garden was planted with such things as peas, onions, beets and carrots. Chickens started laying eggs again and it was also when the animals on the homestead had their babies. At Farm Animal Frolic we celebrate the renewal of life that comes with the season of spring. Meet the baby farm animals up close and personal. See kid goats and lambs frolicking about. If you’ve ever wonder where the saying “two shakes of a lamb’s tail” came from you can see the reason for yourself. Chicks will be peeping away and some will be hatching in incubators so visitors can watch them crack out of their shells. There will be a new calf for the children to meet and guests of all ages will laugh at the ducklings as they play in the water. Twice a day there is a special children's show where youngsters can enjoy puppet shows or storytelling. There are opportunities to play old fashion games, jump in the hay or try the Fish Pond. Kathy Uhler, from the Pocono Wildlife Rehabilitation Center, will present a show on local wildlife on Saturday May 18th at 12:30 and 2:00. New at Frolic this year is the U.S. Detachment of Engineers Civil War re-enactors who will talk about map making on May 18th and 19th. Admission is $8.00 for Adults and $5.00 for ages 3 thru 12. Children under 3 years of age are free. Pony Rides and Horse-drawn Wagon Rides are an additional charge and are weather permitting. Refreshments are available. No Smoking or Pets. Frolic is held Rain or Shine. The schedule and prices are subject to change. All funds raised go to support the mission of the non-profit farm museum. Public Service Announcements.
