First Dayof Spring
is March 20th
Sunday, March 20th is the First Day of Spring, the Vernal Equinox!
An equinox occurs twice a year,
when Earth’s axis is not tilted away
from or towards the Sun, and the Sun
can be observed directly overhead
at the Equator. Equinox is derived
from Latin words aequus (equal)
and nox (night), because around the
equinox, night and day are of nearly
equal duration. At equinox, the Sun is
at 1 of 2 opposite points above the
Equator; either the autumnal point or
the vernal point. Autumnal equinox
occurs in September, and vernal
equinox occurs on March 20th this
year. Welcome this glorious season
in the Pocono Mountains!
This Week in the Poconos 5
Fiddle Contest & Bluegrass Shin-Dig on April 3rd
“It’s Scottish bagpipes and old time fi ddlin’. It’s Methodist, Holiness, and Baptist. It’s blues and jazz and it has a high lonesome sound. It’s plain music and it tells a good story. I want it to go from my heart to your heart and I want us both to hear it.” Bill Monroe on Bluegrass
Bluegrass music is an American art form with roots in Irish, Scottish, and English traditional music. Cherished
by immigrants in the hills and lowlands of Appalachia, the music survived in seclusion until the great migrations of
the early 20th century. Combined with jazz, blues, and popular infl uences, Bluegrass moved into its own form. Many
organizations, festivals, bands, and devotees worldwide now hold Bluegrass to be their primary source of musical
enjoyment.
On Sunday, April 3rd, Pocono Bluegrass & Folk Society, sponsored by Pennsylvania Partners in the Arts and the
Pocono Arts Council, presents a Bluegrass Shin-Dig featuring Stained Grass Window and Country Grass; a highlight
will be The 29th Annual Ron Nauman Fiddle Contest! Stage performances continue from 12:00pm to 5:00pm. Tote
along your own instrument to join one of the jams happening throughout the 1920’s-era BPO Elks Lodge at 260
Washington Street in East Stroudsburg. The kitchen serves food at modest prices, and there’s a full bar. Admission
is $7.00/pp. Call (570) 424-2937 or (570) 992-2259; reach the Elks Lodge at (570) 421-9140. Shin-Dig more at
