In 1997, artist Joan Polishook invited some friends and fellow artists

to join her as she painted outdoors. Fifteen years later, Polishook and

her peers are still painting “en plein air,” but the outings have grown in

participation and frequency to become anticipated events in the local art

community. Her public Come Paint with Me sessions take place every

Thursday from June through October at various locations in the Poconos.

Come Paint with Me is a free, non-instructional program open to

artists of all ages and abilities. Sessions take place from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.

and include ample time for painting with a break for lunch, discussion and

gentile critique.

The next Come Paint with Me excursion will take place on the

grounds of the Shawnee Inn on Thursday, August 30. Participants meet

at 10 a.m. at the River Pavilion. Bring your own supplies and refreshments.

For more information and a complete schedule of events, visit

Wally Lake Fest returns to the shores of Lake

Wallenpaupack on Friday, August 24 through Sunday,

August 26. The event, now in its third year, celebrates

the “Big Lake” as its summer season comes to a close.

This year’s festival is full of activities planned all around

the Lake Region.

Festivities begin Friday with the Hawley Farmers’

Market and live entertainment throughout the

region. Burden on Society will perform at Ehrhardt’s

Waterfront Resort, and the Settlers Inn will host

“Blues, Brews and Barbecue,” with live music from The

Liberto Trio from 5 to 9 p.m.

Saturday’s schedule is packed with indoor and

outdoor fun. Activities start at 10 a.m., and include an

Open Market Fair, a motorcycle “Ride for the Lake,”

free kayak trials and sailboat rides, a sand sculpture

contest, a boat parade and more! Four bands will

perform throughout the day on a fl oating stage in

front of the Visitors Center, and many local venues will

offer live music in the evening hours.

Celebrations continue Sunday with the Open

Market Fair, a lakeside breakfast buffet at Ehrhardt’s, PPL Dam and Power House tours, fl y casting demos, and even

a wing eating contest! These are just some of the many great events taking place on the Big Lake this year. For more

information and a complete schedule of events, visit www.wallylakefest.com or call (570) 226-2141.
