Greater Wyalusing, PA

Plans are in the works for our first ever Quilted Corners of Wyalusing Quilt Festival/Barn Quilt Driving Tour, Saturday, May 1, 2010.  Please plan to join us for a daylong gathering of quilters and exhibitors.  Traditional quilts will be displayed at the quilt show held at the Blue Heron Gallery as well as throughout the area in storefronts and businesses.  In addition to our quilt show, we will have craft vendors, food, giveaways, scheduled bus tours, scheduled screenings of the movie “Year of the Barn”, and antique tractors will line the Main Street show courtesy of the Twin Tier Tractor Club.  The winner of the 2010 Patriotic Quilt Block Challenge will be announced.   Raffle tickets will be available for a queen-sized sampler quilt sewn using the designs of our first 42 barn quilt blocks.

My Reasons to Travel this Summer

1. Festivals – You can find local festivals and state fairs anywhere you go.  Good ole’ family fun with the rides, carnival games and I can never pass up a funnel cake for the ride home. 
2. Water – Summer is my favorite season. I love the warmth from the bright sun and being able to enjoy water activities without freezing. Go canoeing or kayaking down a river, or zoom down a water slide at a water park. I’m sure we will go boating and fishing this summer. Some may say the best time to go whitewater rafting is the spring and fall because of the rapids but hey I can’t pass it up when the temperature reaches the high 80s and I can leave the wetsuit at home.
3. Beaches – Lay around, with sunscreen on, read a book, watch people walk by and when you get warm just walk into the ocean. I can’t wait!
4. Food – I would say my family is adventurous when it comes to trying new foods. Traveling is a good time to experience all of the wonderful tastes that are in all cities near and far. Ask a local where the “good” restaurants are and go enjoy a night out and a new experience. 
5. Deals, Deals and more Deals – It’s no surprise the economy is affecting everyone. So why not get the deal of a lifetime? We have advertisers running specials I’ve never seen in all my 7 years in the travel industry. Check out www.seeyathere.com and find great offers that will benefit you this summer.
6. Furry Friends are Welcome – I’ve noticed more and more accommodations offering rooms that allow pets. This is such a great addition! One of the most difficult tasks before we go anywhere is to find somewhere for the 2 dogs and 2 cats to go. Not to mention the extra cost the hotel is asking for is no where close to the cost of boarding them here. Plus why not get them out of their everyday surroundings?

I’m sure your thinking of something I’ve left off the list. Please share with us the reason why you will travel this summer.

See Ya There!

Life’s too short. Get out and Go Somewhere!
