Jim Hamill - PTN The holiday season is upon us once again, and it’s time to shop small to support local businesses throughout the Pocono Mountains. Find great gifts for the ones you love.

Liam Hutchison - BetterWorld We love this time of the year. It shows us what our store is all about: facilitating a local economy, encouraging people to buy local, and supporting family-owned businesses like ours. We strive to offer as many local products as possible, making it a win-win for everyone. Online shopping can’t provide the in-person inspiration you get by exploring small stores.

Janet Gaglione - Wayne County Arts Alliance Our galleries will be open throughout December, showcasing small and large artwork by various artists. We offer a wide range of art to support local artists and our arts alliance. Visit us at the Wayne County Arts Alliance and give the gift of unique art this holiday season.

Deborah Shuman & Janet Heinly - Across the Tracks Antiques Visiting us is like receiving a hometown hug. People feel like they’re in a museum or revisiting grandma’s house, finding nostalgic items. Many say they remember using or playing with those items as children. Our store is as enjoyable to browse as it is to shop. Happy holidays, and remember, we're just across the tracks.

Tony Augustine - Anthracite Vintage Mercantile & Auction We have 33 dealers here, each a small business with distinct styles and genres. It's like having 33 stores under one roof. You'll find nostalgic items here that you won’t get at big box stores. There’s truly something for everyone.

Nelson Pena - Mudita Gaming Lounge Not a gamer? No problem. Come by to shoot some pool or relive nostalgia. We have the latest games too. For gifting, we offer $30 unlimited playtime and $15 for 30 minutes of VR. If you’re short on time, we have a $20 hourly option.

By visiting these local businesses, you can find unique gifts and experiences while supporting the vibrant community of the Pocono Mountains. Happy shopping and happy holidays!
