Celebrate the Delaware Canal in Bristol

Posted in Bristol, Daytime, History & Culture | Comments Off

Growing up in Bristol, I have many fond memories of the Delaware Canal – fishing, hiking, and even a few times swimming. I’ve walked the entire 60 miles several times – there are so many beautiful sites along the way. I remember seeing numerous couples having their wedding pictures taken at the Gazebo next to the canal. Even now, I enjoy the canal, walking with my boys to the Bristol Amish Market on Saturday mornings – it’s great to share this local treasurer with my children! (more…)

The Songbirds and Sinners Guide to Karaoke in Bucks County

Karaoke.

That noblest of art forms. Some say, “you either love it or you hate it”. But maybe it’s more complex than that. Maybe you secretly wish you could grab that mic, but are too shy or don’t feel comfortable in your surroundings. Maybe you need the right, shall we say, liquid encouragement, or only want to sing obscure punk hits from the 80’s. You aren’t the only lost soul with a karaoke conundrum. Not everyone is a singer, but everyone is out to have a good time. Whether you’re a once-a-year enthusiast or an everyday extrovert, there is a karaoke night for everyone in Bucks County. (more…)

Celebrate Martin Luther King Day in Bucks County

Posted in Bristol, Central Bucks, Charity, Daytime, Doylestown, Feasterville, Holiday Fun, Langhorne, Lower Bucks, Newtown | Comments Off

On the third Monday of January each year, we celebrate Martin Luther King Day to commemorate his peaceful activism in the civil rights movement. His message is ingrained in the spirit of America, and part of the way we honor him is actually rooted in Pennsylvania. The national Martin Luther King Day of Service was started by former Pennsylvania U.S. Senator Harris Wofford and Atlanta Congressman John Lewis, who co-authored the King Holiday and Service Act. Beyond the U.S., his message resonates throughout the world. In fact, the Japanese city of Hiroshima as well as our Northern neighbors in Toronto celebrate King’s message of human rights.
