Lehigh Valley InSite

Adventure Comics 67

When the first Fortune 500 list came out in 1955, the Steel debuted at #12, and remained near the top 10 for many years, peaking at #8 and rubbing shoulders with Gulf Oil, CBS, General Electric, Mobil, DuPont, Chrysler, and AT&T.

Bethlehem Steel built not just bridges and buildings but monuments…

Yes at Sands Bethlehem Event Center

When my father said he had an extra ticket for the Yes show at Sands Bethlehem Event Center, I scooped it up in a second.

The band, which got its start on semi-psychedelic prog-rock in the 1970s, was played in my childhood home on a regular basis. I remember multiple vinyls being spun and knowing “Roundabout” and “Owner of a Lonely Heart” by heart by the time I was seven.

Glasbern Inn

Special occasions call for special places to celebrate. Last month was one of those times and I was charged with finding the location. The special occasion was my installation as the President of SKAL of Northeast Pennsylvania.

The Championship

The Championship is set.

Emerging from the left side of the bracket is 02 Lehigh Valley IronPigs and their opponent from the right side of the bracket is 01 Musikfest.

Both teams are family fun, summertime activities and as such had high expectations coming into the Lunacy.

Final Four

And there were four, the Final Four.

Lehigh Valley Lunacy, which began March 1st with 64 participants is now down to four teams playing in semi-final matchups to get to the Championship!

Elite Eight

We’re down to the Elite Eight,  there are plenty of top seeds left but only one underdog remains dancing in Lehigh Valley Lunacy, which began March 1st.

As we get down to the end of the tournament, voting for the rounds won’t last as long, so spread the word!

Mock Turtle Marionette Shadow Puppets

Before the Celtic Classic Parade of the Shamrocks rolls through the streets of Bethlehem, The Charles Brown Ice House will be full of family fun, shadow puppets and Indonesian music. Mock Turtle Marionette Theater will be performing Shadow Stories on Saturday, March 16 10 a.m. at the Ice House, located on Sand Island.

Sweet Sixteen

We’re officially down to the Sweet Sixteen, with upsets and close calls, there are plenty of favorites and underdogs left dancing in Lehigh Valley Lunacy.

The Second Round Recap:

Round Two

Lehigh Valley Lunacy continues. It’s pretty simple. There remain 32 participants, broken into four regions, Play, Stay, Eat and Events.

It’s March, time to start the Madness Lunacy! Let’s see who’s going to continue on!

Miller Symphony Hall

It is March, so March Madness must be close at hand.  I had the opportunity to see a different kind of March Madness this past Sunday, only this one was at Miller Symphony Hall and was a competition among three Cellists.

This past weekend, Lehigh Valley hosted nine cellists from around the world who participated in the Schadt String Competition for Cello.  This year was the seventeenth annual Schadt String Competition which rotates among Violin, Cello and Guitar.  Named for Edwin and Leigh Schadt, two brothers who had a deep love of string music, created a trust for promising students and later the competition itself.
