It's Halloween around the Plaza!

Today we had our fall craft afternoon! Residents decorated little hats that they could hang on their door, use as a centerpiece or wear on their heads!



As if that wasn't fun enough, then we had our annual Halloween party hosted by the East Stroudsburg Kiwanis Key Club and MA Armillei!


These fantastic photos were taken by Mary Romano:

Happy Halloween everyone!

Anyone shop at the Dollar General?

I love the Dollar General (on Rt 447 behind Pepe's)! They have name brand products at ridiculously low prices. Did you know they also offer coupons?? Yup, that's right discounts off those already fantastic prices.
