Have You Seen the Jim Henson Exhibit at the James A. Michener Art Museum?
Oct 12
There are few things in life that touch so many people’s lives in such a positive way… leaving just a little more joy in its place than was there before.
No one can deny that the master artistry and creative genius of Jim Henson was revolutionary and ground-breaking in his work with the characters that children from all over the world have fallen in love with and have come to enjoy for much of their lives.
Big Bird, Kermit the Frog, Miss Piggy and many others continue to delight children to this day and understanding the man behind these characters is the opportuity that we, here in Bucks County, have available to us until November 29th at the beautiful new exhibition space within the James A. Michener Art Museum.
You can read all about the details right here: Jim Henson’s Fantastic World
I hope to see you there!
Have a great week,

Are You Ready for Leaf Peeping Season?
Sep 28
There’s nothing quite like it and I sure hope people don’t take for granted what a gorgeous area of the world we live in, especially this time of year.
When the chill in the air combines with the lush environment that we have, most notably our amazing hemlock and maple trees, an explosion of color is upon us… 
Make sure that you schedule some time for a long drive through the region to get a good long look at one of nature’s many gifts to us. Another wonderful way to enjoy the beautiful fall foliage is to take a 2 1/2 hour train ride on one of the Ivyland Railroad “Fall Foliage” Tours. It is a great way to spend time with the kids and do something completely different and unique.
Well, October is upon us with so many things to do at this time of year… so get out there and enjoy!
Have a great week!

Do You Climb or Raft? Ralph Stover “High Rocks” State Park Awaits You
Sep 14
With so many beautiful state parks in Bucks County, today I will just focus on one, the Ralph Stover “High Rocks” State Park which features, not only, amazing sheer rock faces for advanced climbers, but the park also offers excellent whitewater rafting events throughout the year, hiking, fishing and great family time picnicking.
Just 9 miles from New Hope in Plumstead and Tinicum townships, this popular 45-acre park runs along the beautiful Tohickon Creek (named by the Lenape Indians meaning “Deer Bone Creek”).
Originally the site of a gristmill in the late 1700s, the heirs of its owner, Ralph Stover, donated the land over to the State of Pennsylvania in 1931 and the park’s facilities were built at that time.
The High Rocks section of the park was donated in 1956 and it’s been a popular place for climbers of all levels to scale its walls ever since. The views at the top are nothing short of spectacular, especially in the fall with the color of the trees in all their glory!
The Whitewater dates have also been set:
- ** November 7-8, 2009
- ** March 20-21, 2010
These are the dates when the Nockamixon Dam will release its water making for some incredible rides down the creek!
You can follow all of the information and stay up-to-date at the Pennsylvania Fish & Boat Commission
Hope you are able to get out there and enjoy this wonderful fall weather…
That’s it for this Monday!
Have a great week,
Gail
