Welcome party is Saturday

Cool new items in goodie bag Milford — With only a few days before the event, local businesses recognized the hard work put forth by the Milford Enhancement Committee and donated some really great items for not only the silent auction, but also the goodie bag. This year’s event will be held at the home of Lee and Sonda Miller, The Governor’s Retreat in Dingmans Ferry, on Saturday, June 21 from 3 p.m. to 7 p.m. Reservations are $50 per person and can be made by calling Katrina at 570-293-2333 or online at www.milfordpa.us/mec. Altec Lansing, one of the area’s largest employers, donated InEar Buddies Jack earbuds from their MUZX line which includes a “buddies” feature that lets your friends plug in a second pair of earphones and listen to your music at the same time. Other great items in the goodie bag include truffles from Anna’s Candy Kitchen, cookies from Just Add Sugar, Milford Mud (coffee samples) from Kaffeine & Kitsch, gift certificates to Bodhi Bliss, The Craft Show, Upriver and Gallery on Seventh, and copies of Buzz Arts Guide, Milford Magazine and Our House magazine.
