We’re Celebrating 4 Years of Rediscovering Northeastern Pennsylvania One Awesome Local Story at a Time
Keep following along as we look forward to many more amazing NEPA adventures.
When we launched DiscoverNEPA.com on Wednesday, May 23, 2018, we had a simple mission. We wanted to start telling a story – one that reminded us why we fell in love with this place. In every word, every photo, every frame of video, every social media post, we focused on one goal – rediscovering home.
Over these last four years, we learned that there is no singular, unique story of NEPA. In fact, there are thousands. All told, twisted, molded and retold over and over again at the start of each day. The craft brewers tell theirs, and the fly-fishing guide tells hers. There’s a story on the menu at every restaurant, in the barrels at every local winery in every single one of the thousands of things to do.
You, NEPA, are the storyteller — you, the axe thrower and the cat-lovin’ barista, the river paddler and the pit master, the pierogi maker and the “Hooch Mama”, the volunteer and the conservationist, the chef and the stylist. This amazing place and everything that makes it so special is your story. We’re simply here to help you tell it.
Come on. Let’s add another awesome year of adventure to the logbook. And join us as we look ahead to many, many more.
