97 and still going strong
Several hundred well-wishers
crowded into the Hotel Bethlehem Oct. 6 to help the landmark celebrate its 97th
birthday and its recent selection as the third best historic hotel in the
country by readers of USA Today. The birthday bash included free food and hors
d’oeuvres, mounds of cupcakes, tours, musical entertainment and presentations
on the history of the hotel. Guests were
greeted by Hospitality Girls in white knee-high boots, a flashback to 1968,
when the then-new general manager hired the young women as greeters. Photo: Ozzie
Morales of Bethlehem has been a waiter for 25 years, but for only one year at
the Hotel Bethlehem. Dressed in colonial
garb, he offers birthday bash celebrants free hors d’oeuvres during the event.

Freedom girls win first
district title
Freedom forward Katie Flynn
held on to the District XI girls’ soccer championship trophy like it was gold,
but the gold was hanging around her neck, placed there by Coach Bob Eaton after
the Patriots defeated Nazareth, 3-1, in the Class 4A final on Saturday night at
Emmaus High School. “It means a lot and we just brought it all together. It’s
post season, we’re a whole new team, and we’ve been on a streak,” Flynn said.
“I told them at halftime this is not over. We have to go out and bring it 10
times harder than we played the first half.” The Patriots took a 2-0 lead in
the first half on goals scored by Haley Gschrey at 31:39 and 20:15.
