It's true! You can purchase your tickets online at www.jimthorpeburlesque.org for the "Fundraiser Gala" and "Big Reveal" Burlesque shows. You can also learn all about the different vendors that will be at the Burlesque Bazzar and AND check out the class schedule.........that's right, I said class schedule.
We're talking everything from belly dancing to retro hairstyling to creating headpieces to hoop dancing---HOOP DANCING!!!! All affordably priced and taught by artists active in the burlesque world. Seriously? In the coal region? Seriously. Come join me in Jim Thorpe April 1st to the 3rd!
This is just a list of a FEW things you could do with your time literally within 10 minutes or less of eachother:
1. Experience the art of Burlesque the way it was meant to be seen-- in a historic theater built in 1881 that hosted legends of the Vaudeville circuit AND a whole chapter in the history of Mrs. Bunny Bedford. This year's festival boasts an extremely talented line up of artists from all over the country.
2. Visit one of the multitude of art galleries within walking distance of eachother.
3. Go mountain biking, hike trails, try white water rafting or play paintball.
4. Buy yourself or your lady a lovely hand-crafted hair accessory, set of pasties, vintage apron, ect. at the Burlesque Bazzar.
5. Find out how delicious good home made haluski or halpuki is OR treat yourself to a fine dining experience.
6. Feeling nerdy? I always do.There are many walking tours, home tours, museums and information centers that will acquaint you with the area's rich history in mining, railroading, Native American culture and the overall importance of the area in America's industrial development.
7. Get a pin-up portrait taken as a gift to yourself or that special someone.
8. Take a train ride! It amazes me that many people have never had the opportunity to ride on a steam engine train.
9. Let out your inner ecdysiast! Try a class at the Burlesque Bazzar without actually having to get on stage!
10. Enjoy an espresso, latte, herbal tea or plain old cup of joe at Strange Brew--there may even be some live local music!
11. Meet a ghost in one of the Victorian Bed & Breakfast's within walking distance of many things on this list!
12. Root for the ladies competing for the Crystal Corset at Saturday night's "Big Reveal" show.
13. Give me a hug! I'd love to see you!
I'm going to leave the list at 13 because that has always been a lucky number for me! That was just a list I made off the top of my head so go online and check out even more stuff to do in the area. Trust me, you could use a weekend away, right? Hope you can come!
