Lehigh Valley InSite

America on Wheels

Why are dads seemingly always much harder to buy for than moms? Is it because moms like more stuff or because dads always seem to have what they want?

I think it’s because dads generally don’t want a big fuss made about them, even on Father’s Day. So, it may be difficult to figure out just what to get the guy who probably doesn’t want you to get him anything.

Ultimate Lehigh Valley Experience

See the Lehigh Valley like never before! Starting with June’s Ultimate Crayola Experience and going through May 2014 with the Ultimate Dorney Experience we’re giving away 12 one-of-a-kind experiences in Lehigh Valley, Pa. These experiences are actually prize packages that include prizes that you either wouldn’t be able to purchase as a regular consumer, or are a combination of prizes that include multiple venues and give, well, the ultimate Lehigh Valley experience.

Entry is easy. It’s just a simple form. There are only three months active at one time. If you visit the site right now, you can enter for June, July and August. If September is something you’d really like to win, you can mark your calendar or enter your email address in the “remind me” form and we’ll let you know when it’s open for entry.

Guestagrammer Jim Gavenus

The next participant in our Guestagram Series takes us out “west” to Berks County and western Lehigh County.  Jim Gavenus lives Lenhartsville, Pa.,  about 20 miles west of Allentown and a nice day trip on a sunny weekend.

In our Guestagram Series, a local photographer takes over our account for a few days to showcase their work and their take on the great area we live in.

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:

March Madness Picnic Tote

March Madness Picnic Tote

I remember when March was the stepchild of the calendar. It didn’t have gift-giving holidays like Christmas and Valentine’s Day or picnics and parties like Independence Day or Halloween.

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!
