One thing that I love about the holidays is finding the perfect gift for my loved ones, knowing I will see  huge smiles on their faces when they unwrap their big surprises.  In my opinion, giving is even more fun that getting!

While shopping during the holidays can be lots of fun, it can also turn into a frustrating experience when the perfect presents are hard to find.  Luckily, there are so many fabulously unique shops and talented craftsman in Bucks County to make the search more fun. In addition to fueling our communities, local shops offer the personal service and care to take the stress out of shopping.

This year, take a look at the Bucks Happening Holiday Gift Guide to find those extra-special gifts to make 2010 the best holiday yet! (more…)

Posted in Bensalem, Bristol, Daytime, Holiday Fun, Lower Bucks, Newtown, Richboro, Washington Crossing, Yardley | 1 comment

On Thursday, November 11th, we commemorate United States veterans past and present, and there are no shortage of local events to mark the occasion. With the non-stop political buzz surrounding the recent midterm elections, we can appreciate our civil liberties more than ever. Let’s take some time this week to honor those who have so valiantly fought to protect them.

BENSALEM

The Disabled American Veterans Chapter 85 in Bensalem will hold a service at 11 a.m. Thursday at Rosedale Memorial Park, 3850 Richlieu Road including a musical service and speeches to honor veterans.

In Eddington, the Harry T. Clunn VFW Post 9220 (1236 Lavender Road) will also host a ceremony Thursday.  Members & public attendees will gather at 11 a.m. for a ceremonial wreath laying. (more…)

Don't forget to change your clocks!

It’s that time of year again, to “fall back.” Officially you can change your clocks back one hour, this Sunday, November 7th. But what is all the history behind daylight savings time? Most of us (myself included) probably have no clue of its history and fun facts! Well, I decided it was about time to do some investigating.

Daylight savings time was actually not enacted until March 19, 1918 but proved to be “unpopular” due to people waking up earlier and going to bed earlier. For years and years, daylight savings time was very inconsistent and became an option to cities and states. Can you imagine the confusion? Even with the Interstate Commerce Commission getting involved in the early 60′s, because would still not follow the rules. Farmers debated the issues, and state governments could not agree. (more…)

So how does Bucks stack up?

Have bugs been driving you batty lately?

Bats. We usually associate bats with Halloween, vampires, attics and even Batman himself. Unfortunately, Hollywood has misconstrued the real benefit of bats. The little brown bat eats roughly 4,500 bugs a night. With over 1 million bats being effected by White Nose Syndrome, that’s roughly 4,500,000,000 extra bugs you have to worry about crawling into your house, destroying crops, or biting you. So why is everyone scared of these little non-aggressive creatures that help so much?
