Blast from the past: Eddie Money at Havana

Take me to Havana tonight?? That will be the question next Saturday, November 27th when Eddie Money takes the stage in New Hope for his Christmas show. Tickets are a little steep compared to the traditional local venue ($40 for pre-orders and $45 at the door), but the eclectic, intimate venue of Havana’s coupled with a night of belting out classic 1980s songs with Eddie himself have the making for one hell of a night.  Can Mr. Money still rake it in?  Will you buy Two Tickets to Paradise?   (more…)

Thanksgiving Guide

Gobble Gobble!  Thanksgiving officially marks the start of the holiday season. And since things are always hectic we figured we could make it easy by giving you the inside scoop. It’s most important to focus on all that you are thankful for, but of course that comes with a great meal and some fun activities (you know falling asleep on the couch after dinner with football in the background). Bucks County is no stranger to the tradition and there is plenty of going on.

GIVE BACK:

Black Tuesday – Make your holiday purchases early and stock up on goodies for your Thanksgiving celebration on Tuesday, November 23rd from 6-9pm! Help support local mom crafters and businesses as well as raise money for a local charity. There will be vendor tables, a basket raffle (including a BeMe Box!) and a refreshment booth. Proceeds from the raffle and refreshments go to Quilts for Kids. The event will be held at the Yardley Community Center. (more…)

Bucks Goes Bananas for Apples

Apple pies, apple turnovers, apple cider, apple butter, apple wine, apple fritters (I feel like Bubba in Forrest Gump!)…the delicious possibilities of this popular fruit are endless. Apples can be bought in hundreds of varieties, from red to green and pink to yellow, from tart to sweet and sour to bitter. Still, while apples are grown all year long, the fall harvest has a reputation for producing the best- darker, deeper red with sweeter flavors.
