Join us as Lehigh Valley with Love Media Hosts “History Happy Hour”

Posted On July 13, 2020 By lvwithlove In Blog /  

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.

The drinks will be shared on social media a few days prior, and attendees are invited to drink along during the show. Each featured drink comes from a local Lehigh Valley brewery, winery, or distillery.

“We are thrilled to partner with several local breweries and distilleries and Lehigh Valley with Love to provide history lovers with a fun, new way to explore local history,” said Megan van Ravenswaay, Director of Development at the Northampton County Historical and Genealogical Society.
“Due to these unprecedented times when folks are seeking free, socially-distanced entertainment, our 36 partners wanted to create a series of activities to enjoy safely at home. We hope everyone will enjoy the unknown historical facts, hilarious stories about our forefathers (and mothers), and marvel at bizarre occurrences with area historians. This certainly isn’t your high school history class!”
