Faces & Places - Around Town - January 2006

Once again, the first weekend in February (1-5) celebrates the annual Lambertville/New Hope Winter Festival. This year the festival begins on Wednesday, February 1 and continues throughout the weekend.

Note that local artist Jan Lipes continues to let Winter Festival use his print, Free Bridge Sister Towns, as its logo. Several years ago the original painting was auctioned at Winter Festival. Prints are available from the artist jlipes@voicenet.com.

Events will offer great food, entertainment - Al Stewart is performing on Friday evening, children’s activities, music, a parade, and lots of fun! Festival Brochures are available at businesses around town. Events are selling out quickly, so make your plans now to join the festivities!
