Scavenger hunt to benefit library in Wayne County
The Bethany Public Library is encouraging people to help raise funds while exploring northern Wayne County by going on a scavenger hunt Author: Courtney Harrison Updated: 6:05 PM EDT May 14, 2021
BETHANY, Pa. The pandemic has made fundraising hard for many nonprofit organizations, including the Bethany Public Library near Honesdale.
Kate Baxter is the director of the library and says the staff wanted to come up with a fun and engaging event that anyone could do, so they decided on a scavenger hunt. A small committee put in an awful lot of work to come up with a route and didn t come up with clues in a way that all of this is going to work logistically to be a lot of fun for everybody, Baxter said.
If you love chocolate and coffee, then Moka Origins is the place for you. Author: WNEP Web Staff Updated: 6:36 PM EDT May 1, 2021
HONESDALE, Pa. If you re a fan of chocolate and coffee, then a place in Wayne County is right up your alley.
Moka Origins in Honesdale hosted a grand opening of its Chocolate Factory and Roastery Cafe today.
You can sample coffee and chocolate at the factory store, see chocolate being made, and now enjoy some hot or cold drinks from their new cafe.
It s all set on a 400-acre campus with hiking trails. So we started Moka Origins as a cacao farm in Cameroon in 2015. Cameroon s in west Africa just south of Nigeria, and we spend about half our time there, and really fell in love with how agriculture can be a real vehicle for economic opportunity in these communities, said Jeff Abella, CEO and Founder of Moka Origins.
Coffee and waffles from the Great Northern and Zero Gravity
It takes a lot of caffeine to keep up with Vermont s ever-evolving coffee industry. The pandemic might have disrupted the routine of stopping for a daily cuppa on the way to the office or an afternoon pick-me-up with coworkers, but it hasn t prevented new cafés from opening.
Vivid Coffee took over the New Moon Café space on Burlington s Cherry Street in November 2020; Uncommon Coffee opened for curbside pickup in the Essex Experience a couple of months before that. PK Coffee reopened in a new Stowe location this winter; 802 Coffee launched a café and roastery in Barre in March; and the owners of Vittles Espresso & Eatery are in the process of taking over the Local Buzz in downtown Bradford, adding a brick-and-mortar spot to their existing coffee-truck business.
