PEEPSFEST
2019 is the annual New Year’s Eve festival held Dec. 30 and 31 at SteelStacks
in Bethlehem. Three notable additions to this year celebration was the Divinci
Science Center’s Mixing Matters show.
The kid friendly show teaches chemistry experiments using different
substances including fire. Another highlight was the Peeps in The Kitchen
cooking demo provided by ArtsQuest Chefs.
The 20-minute demonstrations showed creative ways to cook in the kitchen
with PEEPS. Another new addition was the
one-mile fun run which began at the ArtsQuest Center which tested each participants
speed and endurance. Photo: One of the new events this year was the PEEPS in
the Kitchen cooking demonstration held at the PBS39 studios. ArtsQuest Chefs demonstrated to viewers in
attendance creative ways to cook with PEEPS.

Room to run around
Every
city has its own New Year’s traditions.
Here in Bethlehem, we have Peepsfest. As a mom, I appreciate the Peep
drop celebration, especially because it takes place long before midnight. We attended the Peepsfest Dec. 31, and the
yellow Peep, hoisted before the Steelstacks, was a bright spot in the cloudy
landscape. Before the drop, we explored
the children’s activities at ArtsQuest. Photo:

Saturday full slate of competition between each team in the conference won’t be
decided until Thursday, but one matchup that appears to be a near certainty
before pairings are released is the 7 p.m. championship bout between Bethlehem
Catholic (8-0, 7-0) and Nazareth (11-1, 6-0).
