Celebrating Our Heritage

Imagine being able to capture and share the most cherished memories of our Christmas heritage for future generations to experience.

On Sunday, December 14, Heritage Park will be transformed into a Christmas winter wonderland. The Christmas Elf and Mrs. Claus will be in attendance to greet you and your children at the door with hot chocolate, cookies and lots of hugs. The event will last from 2p.m to 5 p.m at Heritage Park Headquarters, 530 Erie Avenue, Renovo.


Local authors Donna Kshir, Bob Shank and Maureen Ruhl will be in attendance catching the attention of their young audience while challenging their imagination and intellect. Kshir and Shank have written a collection of entertaining short stories and poems that are stimulating, witty, charming, surprising and a satisfying reading experience for children. 

Ruhl  recently finished writing a book called "Frozen Tears" that is partially based on her experiences. She she hopes it will help people to open up and discuss the painful subject. "I think 'Frozen Tears' picks up wither other books end," she said. "It's actually designed for a safe person to discuss the suspicion of abuse before they go to the police. It talks about boundaries, telling them they're allowed to say no.

A book signing and reading will be featured. A limited amount of books will be available for purchase, or an order can be placed.

A variety of arts, crafts and other activities will be available to all children. The public is encouraged to attend. For more information on the event, contact Alice Tarr at 570-923-0458, or for more information on the Renovo Storyteller book series, visit http://renovostorytellers.weebly.com.
