The leaves are falling, and so are the temperatures. Soon snow will be on the way, and so will our Winter issue of Inside Pennsylvania magazine.
What can you expect in this Winter’s issue? We take an in-depth looking into the Bloomsburg Theatre Ensemble’s 40th anniversary season, how the group overcame its meager beginnings to provide Broadway-quality performances right here in the Valley. The theater group’s first staging of the iconic “A Christmas Carol” included a 20-year-old Rand Whipple as Ebenezer Scrooge. Whipple returns this winter — 40 years later — to return to the role.
We also look at the rags-to-riches story of Gilson Snowboards and how the Rusty Rail has emerged as one of the region’s premiere breweries and entertainment destinations. We also learn about the different Christmas tree species available for the holidays locally, test drive the GMC Terrain, learn to make an upgrade on everyone’s favorite comfort food and much more. To help get everyone pumped up, here are the trivia questions we’ll be asking in our Winter issue … due to come out in mid-November. At stake is a free year-long subscription to Inside Pennsylvania magazine.
