Local inaugural party planned - all are welcome

Marshalls Creek — On Jan. 20, the day that President-elect Barack Obama takes office, area residents will be able to attend what is being billed as the ‘Pocono Inaugural Ball.’ While tickets to high priced Washington events are nearly impossible to come by, local residents can celebrate in their own community, on inauguration night. All are welcome to come to The Hillside Inn in Marshalls Creek, Tuesday, Jan. 20, from 8 - 11 pm. The party, in honor of President Barack Obama, will include a Southern Style buffet, special surprise guest appearances, music, dancing and historic events on the big screen. The cost is $25 per person. A cash bar will be available. Join with others to celebrate this historic day. Additionally organizers requested that guests bring a food item to be donated to the Bushkill Outreach Food Bank. All are welcome. The historic Hillside Inn is located just off US Route 209, on Frutchey Drive, in Marshalls Creek. Rooms will be available at special rate for this party.
