Quiet Valley’s 26th annual Farm Animal Frolic is May 24 & 25, Saturdays 10 am to 4 pm, Sundays 12 noon to 4 pm. Quiet Valley is blossoming this Spring with farm babies galore!
The farm has so far been blessed with the birth of seven piglets, a lamb and triplet kid goats with more births to come. Chicks have arrived and more will be hatched in incubators during Frolic so visitors can watch this special sight. There is a new calf for the children to meet and guests of all ages will be amused by the ducklings as they scoot down their slide into the water. All the mommies of the babies will be on hand as well, keeping a close watch on their young, so folks will get to meet them, too, and learn something about their role on the farm. Our Clydesdale draft horses, Gunther and Wilhelm, will take you on a wagon ride out to the ice harvest pond and back. Make sure to say “Howdy” to Janie, our mule, and to Bossy, the cow whom will be down in the barnyard. In addition to the farm animals there are plenty of other fun activities. Each afternoon there is a special children's show where youngsters can enjoy puppets or storytelling. There are opportunities to play old fashion games, jump in the hay or they can try their hand at the Fish Pond. Our new focus area for 2014 is the “Sheep Shed” where folks can learn some sheep lore, card wool, watch spinning or felting, try weaving, play sheep related games and make a craft using wool. There will be Sheep Shearing on Saturday, May 17 throughout most of the day. Kathy Uhler, from the Pocono Wildlife Rehabilitation Center, will present a show on local wildlife on Saturday, May 24 at 11:30 and 1:30. The school marm will offer presentations in the One Room Schoolhouse on both Sundays. The outdoor brick bake oven will be in operation during the event making homemade bread and cookies. There is nothing more adorable than baby animals, and adults, as well as children will get a kick out of a visit to Farm Animal Frolic. This is a wonderful opportunity to learn about farms, farm animals and to spend a day in the beautiful outdoors. Admission is $8.00 for Adults and $5.00 for ages 3 thru 12. Children under 3 years of age are free. There is a $1.00 off coupon on the Quiet Valley website, www.quietvalley.org. Pony Rides and Horse-drawn Wagon Rides are an additional charge and are weather permitting. Refreshments are available. No Smoking or Pets. Frolic is held Rain or Shine. The schedule and prices are subject to change. All funds raised go to support the mission of the non-profit farm museum. Quiet Valley Living Historical Farm is a 501(c)(3) non-profit, educational corporation dedicated to the preservation and presentation of Pennsylvania’s agricultural heritage. At Quiet Valley history comes to life on our 19th century farmstead.

The First 25
by Dr. Gary Williams, DMD
So, you finish your career training, ready to go to work, and someone says to you, “enjoy yourself, ‘cause the time is going to fly.” And you think to yourself, “yeah, right!” And then it happens. Suddenly one day I find myself writing an article about practicing dentistry in my home town for 25 years…and counting. I can’t believe it. Family Dental Care began in a renovated apartment, here on South Robinson Ave., in Pen Argyl, in 1989. When the door opened that first morning, there were a grand total of zero patients of record. And I have been blessed ever since. We have cared for your families over the years and catered a lot to your children. Now, not that I’m aging or anything; but now I treat your grandchildren…and more. Where did the time go? We still love seeing your children after 25 years. That’s why we offer free dental exams to all kids under the age of 3 years. We’ve learned some of what makes for good oral health, and we still love to care for the little ones, and watch them grow up in our practice. Yes, time flies when you are having fun, and so far, it’s been a hoot! Stay tuned for announcements about our special “Sealant Day”. Thank you Slate Belt residents and kids. Looking forward to the next 25! Summer Session Starting Soon at NCC
