Lehigh Valley Humane Society Community Day & Grand Opening of Vet Clinic Oct 22
Come tour the brand-new building and celebrate the long-awaited grand reopening of the Lehigh Valley Humane Society on Oct 22
There will be live music, kids activities, pet caricatures, food trucks, and more.A ribbon cutting ceremony run by the Lehigh Valley Chamber of Commerce will be at 12pm.
Lehigh Valley Humane Society CEO Hal Warner shares
“On October 22nd 2022, the Lehigh Valley Humane Society
will reintroduce ourselves with not only a new name, but a renewed commitment
to the people and the animals of the Lehigh Valley.
“…Our new state-of-the-art facility will feature over 100 new dog kennels, hundreds of square feet of free roaming cat space, outdoor play yards, dog training and animal grooming.
The new LVHS will also offer a brand-new full-service Community Vet Clinic that offers high-quality services at affordable prices. This reopening is a symbol of our ongoing mission to provide exceptional services to the animals of the Lehigh Valley and beyond.”
The nonprofit was founded in 1906 to provide a haven for homeless animals and to prevent cruelty to both animals and children. All homeless animals brought to them will find sanctuary and upon entering, each animal is examined, vaccinated, housed, and fed. In June of 2018 they launched their Community Vet Clinic, a much-needed program to enable responsible pet owners to get otherwise-inaccessible medical care for their pet.
Their mission drives their initiatives as they seek “to be the leading advocate for breeds such as pit bulls that often are left behind or ignored by other shelters. To provide high quality medical care for all animals and to offer financial assistance to those pet owners that cannot otherwise afford vet services. To match responsible pet seekers with their next best friend in order to find the perfect home for the animals in our care.”
Executive Vice President of Affiliated Chambers, Easton & Phillipsburg Area Initiatives, & Northern Tier Jessica O’Donnell-Gower looks forward to the celebration, “The Lehigh Valley Humane Society not only provides a tremendous service for our community and their furry friends, but they also act as true community partners with their involvement and support of other organizations. This Saturday is just one small way we can show up and show the support in return. We hope to see our community come out in full force for this milestone celebration of the Lehigh Valley Humane Society!”

Thanksgiving in Lehigh Valley: the perfect stuffing bread DOES exist – and it’s… [recipe inside]
This Thanksgiving in the Lehigh Valley, the perfect stuffing bread DOES exist – and it’s brioche. As in St Pierre Brioche Thanksgiving Stuffing
No Thanksgiving spread is complete without a hearty stuffing. While add-ins are a matter of preference, choosing the right bread is crucial. One underrated choice is eggy, rich brioche – and with St Pierre Bakery, you don’t need to go to France to get it.
Thanks to its butter and egg content, St Pierre’s Brioche Loaf provides the perfect balance of crisp toastiness while remaining soft and creamy inside, while its lightly sweet flavor adds a decadent quality that can still lean savory. Attached below is an approachable recipe for stuffing allowing for all the craveable crunch for the whole family with minimal effort required.
St Pierre Brioche Thanksgiving Stuffing
By @BrandiMilloy
Ingredients
1 loaf St. Pierre Brioche Bread
1/2 cup unsalted butter
1 medium onion, diced
3/4 cup celery, diced
3/4 cup carrots, diced
1 cup mushrooms, diced
2 large eggs
1 tbsp. fresh rosemary, chopped
3 sprigs fresh thyme, just the leaves
1 tbsp. fresh sage, chopped
1 small apple (granny smith works well), peeled and diced
Salt and pepper
Directions
-
Preheat oven to 350 F. Cut brioche bread into 1” cubes and bake for about 10-15 minutes until toasted.
-
Meanwhile, into a pot over medium high heat add butter until melted. Add onion, celery and carrots and cook until everything starts to soften, about 7 minutes. Add mushrooms and cook for 2 minutes longer. Remove from heat and set aside.
-
Into a bowl whisk together the eggs, herbs, apples, mushrooms, and salt and pepper. Add your cooked vegetables and mix to combine.
-
Pour mixture on top of toasted bread and stir to combine. Bake stuffing for about 45 minutes. If your stuffing starts to get too brown, cover until finished baking. Enjoy!
As America’s favorite brioche brand, St Pierre’s products are widely available via grocery stores nationwide as well as Walmart.

Clannad – In A Lifetime: The Farewell Tour at Penn’s Peak Sept 8 2023
Penn’s Peak is proud to announce Clannad – In A Lifetime: The Farewell Tour, Friday, September 8, 2023 at 8pm.
On 8th April 2022 BMG released IN A LIFETIME (THE IMMERSIVE COLLECTION), a new “immersive” mix from the original tapes of Clannad’s global smash hits including a new 2022 “immersive” mix of the ‘In A Lifetime’ single (originally released in 1985) with Bono of U2 as the featured vocalist.
Bono’s performance retains all its power and cultural importance with the new immersive mix giving the duet between Clannad’s Moya Brennan and Bono a new dimension of intimacy.
Further revelations within this new album concept come in the form of a reimagined version of ‘White Fool’. The socially challenging track features original guest vocals from Steve Perry, lead singer of Journey.
While the vocals remain true to the original, Pól Brennan from Clannad has completely rebuilt the track from the ground up with contemporary sympathetic and balanced programming, new drumming and instrumentation plus new vocal parts from Moya Brennan.
Not only does this bring the track beautifully up to date but also allows the immersive mix to push all the new elements to the maximum effect.
The two newly recorded songs ‘A Celtic Dream’ and ‘Who Knows (Where The Time Goes)’ were already expansive upon their initial debut on the band’s 2020 anthology “In A Lifetime” and are now given the immersive mix, these tracks produced by famed producer Trevor Horn take on a new dimension in 360 Reality Audio.
“The last songs as well, they have an expansive sound to start with so they’re just exploding in the room… I think the fans are going to love this.” (Pól Brennan)
The digital release of “IN A LIFETIME (THE IMMERSIVE COLLECTION)” creates the bridging gap between the band’s re-scheduled global farewell tour and the “IN A LIFETIME” anthology collection. Released in 2020, the anthology captures Clannad’s incredible and enduring body of work which has, over 16 studio albums, created a legacy that’s influenced a generation of fellow Irish musicians and artists.
“IN A LIFETIME (THE IMMERSIVE COLLECTION)” will be released digitally in 360 Reality Audio, a new immersive music experience utilizing Sony’s spatial audio technology, that will let listeners hear this incredible collection like never before. The 360 Reality Audio content will be available on Amazon Music Unlimited, Deezer and TIDAL, and can be enjoyed on any headphones and supporting speakers. For additional details visit: 360 Reality Audio official website
Clannad has collaborated with a diverse range of artists, including Bruce Hornsby, Steve Perry (Journey), JD Souther, Paul Young, Duke Special and most recently Denise Chaila but their most successful collaboration by far was with enthusiastic supporter and fan, Bono of U2. A fan of the band who declared singer Moya as “one of the greatest voices the human ear as ever experienced,” Bono duetted with the singer on Clannad’s 1985 hit single – and the song which gives this collection its title – In A Lifetime.
IN A LIFETIME is a multi-format, career-spanning anthology containing tracks from Clannad’s 50-year recording career. Available as 37 track 2CD set, 2CD deluxe, 2LP deluxe smokey vinyl and an expanded deluxe 100+ track bookpack as well as a digital version. Compiled in conjunction with Clannad band members.
The anthology will both delight and excite Clannad’s enormous and loyal fanbase as well as introduce this legendary, influential and culturally important band to a whole new generation of music fans.
Tickets on sale Friday, April 14th at 10:00AM at all Ticketmaster outlets, the Penn’s Peak Box Office and Roadies Restaurant and Bar. Penn’s Peak Box Office and Roadies Restaurant ticket sales are walk-up only, no phone orders.
