On Valentine’s Day, Keith and I spent much needed “friend time” with a wonderful group of people we’ve come to know and love at the 6th Annual Booklover’s Ball. Held at the magical mountain lodge of Skytop, it was an evening filled with 5-Star dining, followed with dancing to the music of the Doug Smith Orchestra, and a live auction and raffle sales, all to benefit the Barrett Township Friendly Library. The auctions and raffle sales were made possible by the donations from generous benefactors from the local community. Some of the contributions came from restaurants like Woodfield Manor Chophouse, Frogtown Inn and 6 Acres Restaurant, and The Casino Theater and Ice Cream Parlor in Mt. Pocono. There were also donations from local artists as well as private citizens, all doing their part to help the library continue their services and programs for their community. In these times of Government budget cutbacks, The Chophouse Restaurant at Woodfield Manor is proud to be an instrumental part of this event.
