Wear this bodacious cooling active band in dozens of ways. Wet it and it’ll keep you cool while you skate on down to the… Skateaway. That seems like a good spot.
For only $15 this face mask, headband, dish rag is ultra soft, super absorbent, and easy to active: just soak, wring, and SNAP!
A portion of proceeds from every face mask sold will go to Cancer Support Community Greater Lehigh Valley. Find out more about this wonderful organization.
Please allow 2 weeks for delivery if you live somewhere far away. Otherwise, give us a week or so 🙂 We appreciate you.
Lehigh Valley Passport to History is launching a virtual ‘History Happy Hour’ series starting on July 16.
The five-part series, hosted by Lehigh Valley with Love Media’s George Wacker, will air live on Thursdays at 5:30 p.m. on the Lehigh Valley Passport to History Facebook page.
Each 30-minute episode will highlight a different theme and discussion from the night’s host museum, as well as a featured drink from the night’s drink sponsor.
Kelcie’s design, “Compassion Double IPA” won out of more than a dozen submissions. The decision wasn’t easy, Kelcie’s design incorporated what many of us are trying to convey during these uncertain times.
The Bethlehem Chamber, Downtown Bethlehem Association, Southside Arts District and Community Action Development Corporation of Bethlehem have come together to launch the #BacktoBethlehem campaign as their counties move to the Yellow Phase.
This campaign is all about preparing both the merchants and the community for getting back to business. “We want to make sure our business community is equipped with all the information and supplies they need in order to safely re-open.” said Tammy Wendling, Downtown Bethlehem Association Manager.
In addition to making sure merchants are ready, Missy Hartney, Southside Arts District Downtown Manager says “it’s extremely important to make sure the community knows what expectations there will be for them as customers as well as making them feel comfortable with coming back out to support these small businesses.”
Bethlehem merchants have been asked to take the Vow of the Valley, launched by the Greater Lehigh Valley Chamber of Commerce. Those who sign the online vow, will receive a “Back to Bethlehem” graphic to use on social media and their website. This will let the community know these businesses took a pledge to protect their health and safety during this re-opening phase.
In addition to the Vow of the Valley, this task force partnered with Lehigh Valley with Love Media to create a video encouraging the community to come out and support Bethlehem businesses in the yellow phase.
As seen in the video, DLP Real Estate Capital and South Carolina based, SC Health generously donated 10,000 masks to the Bethlehem business community to ensure the safety of both employees and customers.
Weyerbacher Brewing Company, along with Lehigh Valley with Love Media, have teamed up to create a brew to help benefit Turning Point of the Lehigh Valley.
There’s one catch. Well, two. We need a name and a logo.
No, we’re not being lazy, we just thought it’d be a lot more fun to have the design come from the people of the Lehigh Valley who have been quarantined for three months.
In our final qurantine series interview as we move into Yellow we’ll put up another post wrapping them up) we talk with Michael Keller, Marketing Manager for Made Possible in Lehigh Valley.
The Made Possible in Lehigh Valley campaign seeks to increase outside awareness of the positive attributes Lehigh Valley has to offer, develop a positive image of the region, and market it as an attractive place to live, visit and locate a business.
We talk with James Hamill, Director of Public Relations Pocono Mountains Visitors Bureau about how the area is preparing to open and especially the #poconopromise
James and George also went to Honesdale High School together. Fun stuff.
We catch Mike Schlossberg PA State Rep District 132 before he left for Harrisburg. We talk about what’s going on in his district, which mostly makes up Allentown, and his thoughts on what’s open and what’s not.
Thank you, Mike!
*We interviewed his write-in opponent, Mike McCreary, previously. Please see our videos for his episode.
