The whole world’s watching
Peepsfest,
the family-friendly New Year’s celebration in Bethlehem, has become as iconic
as the yellow marshmallow chick it commemorates. The 2018 Peepsfest marked the
10th anniversary of the popular two-day event that partners ArtsQuest, Just
Born Quality Confections and PBS39. It was also the 65th year since Just Born
acquired its marshmallow chick line from the Rodda Candy Company of Lancaster.

with multi-colored fireworks. The pyrotechnics were held at the end of both
nights of Peepsfest to mark the 10th anniversary of the event.

Daughter-Daddy dance
Among the many wonderful
programs at the Bethlehem Township Community Center – bingo and other
activities for senior citizens, yoga, painting classes for people of different
ages, to name a few -- the annual Daddy Daughter Dance is quite popular. This
year 47 daddy/daughter couples registered to dance the night away on Dec. 1.
Before the dance began, fathers and daughters lined up to have souvenir
pictures taken. Then it was on to the dance floor where the dads and their
dates, ages three to eight, improvised a variety of dance steps. Photo: To the
cheers of the girls, a tall dad just makes it under the limbo stick.
