Pennsylvania 400 Pennsylvania 400 WeekendWeekend NASCAR stars power up to the Pocono

Mountains for the Pennsylvania 400 August 3-5 at

Pocono Raceway in Long Pond. Part of the NASCAR

Sprint Cup Series, the Pennsylvania 400 is a world

class race experience.

Pocono Raceway, nicknamed the Tricky Triangle

because of the track’s unusual design, features turns

modeled after turns from three different tracks,

making it a particularly challenging course.

The Poconos offer NASCAR fans plenty of

entertainment and dining options outside the track.

Local brewpub Barley Creek (barleycreek.com)

is about 12 miles from Long Pond, and perennial

favorite, Van Gilder’s Jubilee (breakfastking.com), is

less than 10 miles from the track.

400: (800) RACE-WAY, poconoraceway.com.

Pennsylvania 400 Weekend

Heritage Craft Day at Quiet Valley A celebration of early American crafts and skills, Quiet Valley’s 5th

Annual Heritage Craft Day gives visitors to the farm the opportunity to

witness the creativity that characterized early Pennsylvania settlers while

also participating in old fashioned crafts.

Crafts featured include weaving, spinning, rug braiding and hooking,

basket and broom making, blacksmithing and paper cutting (Scherenschnitte).

Quilling, the art of making three-dimensional objects from paper, is still

popular today. Embroidery demonstrations will feature various types

of needlework.

Festival of Woodat Grey Towers From shelter to warmth to paper and art objects, the importance of

wood in everyday life cannot be overstated. The Festival of Wood, August 4

and 5, celebrates this essential element at Grey Towers National Historic Site

in Milford.

Handmade woodcrafts created by woodworkers of the Pocono Arts

Council and food vendors will be onsite. The day includes chain saw wood carving, portable sawmill and tree pruning

demonstrations, live animal and educational exhibits,

and fi lms.

A children’s tent will present activities with wood

and special appearances by Smokey Bear and Woodsy

Owl. Also, self-guided tours of the spectacular Grey

Towers mansion are available for $5 per person.

The former home of Gifford Pinchot, fi rst Chief

of the U.S. Forest Service and Pennsylvania Governor

for two terms, Grey Towers (122 Old Owego Turnpike,

Milford) is the Poconos’ version of Versailles.

The Festival of Wood’s hours are 10 a.m.

to 5 p.m. on Saturday and 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on

Sunday. For more information: (570) 296-9630,

Since hosting the fi rst recorded jazz festival in 1951, Northeast Pennsylvania

has championed the popularity of America’s original music form. The Scranton

Jazz Festival, August 3-5, taking place at the Radisson Lackawanna Station Hotel

and other downtown Scranton venues, continues the area’s rich jazz tradition.

Headliners include iconic funk and R&B performers The Average White

Band, French/gypsy jazz band The Hot Club of Detroit and vocal jazz great

Roseanna Vitro. The stellar lineup also features Bill Goodwin, who has worked

with Tom Waits and Steely Dan, and local virtuoso Marko Marcinko and his

Latin Jazz Quintet.

Friday and Saturday night jazz walks spotlight performers in venues along

Lackawanna, Adams and N. Washington Avenues (see Coming Events for

locations). Sunday events include a jazz brunch at Carmen’s in the Radisson,

vocalist performances, student combos

and a Big Band Tribute to the legendary

Jaco Pastorius.

Ticket prices: Friday, $25; Saturday and

Sunday: $20. Tickets are available at all Gallery

of Sound locations and by emailing hrunco@

yahoo.com or calling (570) 487-3954. The

Radisson, built originally as a train station

and offi ce building in 1908, is located at 700

Lackawanna Avenue. For more information:
