Warren County Wanderings

Starting May 13, 2021

"The world's favorite season is the spring. All things seem possible in May." - Edwin Way Teale (1899-1980), American naturalist, photographer and writer

It was nice to get out into the community last weekend, when Explore Warren set up a table at the Rock & Roll Steam Punk Fair in Washington Borough! Everybody seemed to be having a ball, and there was a variety of interesting and creative outfits on display! We welcome all new subscribers to the Wanderings fold, and congratulate our lucky winners: Meredith S. of Great Meadows, who will be treated to a Western Riding Lesson, and Mary M. of East Stroudsburg, who won tickets to the Sunflower Trail. Both prizes courtesy of VonThun Farms. Enjoy!

Sorry you missed it? Well, there will be more festivals and fairs in Warren County's future, so stick with us, and Happy Wanderings!
