Cabin fever is officially upon us as we all hunker down to deal with all this snow and cold, but given our seasonal lethargy there are still a few fun activities happening in town and they are free. 

The Sunshine Hall Free library is sponsoring a Saturday afternoon Winter Film Series which is being moderated by local musician and writer Mike Edison. The Series features several classic films which were very popular during the late 1930’s and 1940s. On Saturday February 28^th there will be a showing of the very famous screwball comedy Bringing Up Baby, filmed in 1938 and directed by Howard Hawks, starring Katharine Hepburn and Cary Grant. On March 7^th, the feature is His Girl Friday (1940) directed by Howard Hawks and starring Rosalind Russell. Cary Grant and Ralph Bellamy.

The Winter Film Series concludes with Intolerable Cruelty (2003), written and directed by Ethan and Joel Coen, and starring George Clooney, Catherine Zeta-Jones, Cedric the Entertainer, and Billy Bob Thornton. Films in the series will be screened in the Library’s Main Reading Room every Saturday at 3pm. For more details about the Winter Film Series, upcoming events, and a wide range of free resources traditional books, digital media featuring popular magazines and newspapers, children’s programs, and round-the-clock free Wi-Fi—visit sunshinehallfreelibrary.org.

I just found out that many seniors from the Town of Highland participate in events and activities at various senior and community centers in other nearby towns. In Narrowsburg there is the Tusten Social organization which is in The Commons building whose programs connect youth, teens, and seniors in the community with activities. They have a lot of free programs- After School Kid Club for grades 2-6^th, The Teen Culinary Club for grades 7^th and up.

Cozy Movie Club is open to everyone for family friendly movies, as is Sage Sessions. Sage Sessions offer relaxed social gatherings for people over 60 to meet, chat, play games, and stay active. Meetings are held at Tusten Social in Narrowsburg on the second and fourth Mondays (1–4pm), at Delaware Valley Arts Alliance on the first and third Thursdays, and at Cooperage Project in Honesdale on the second and fourth Thursdays. No registration is required. 

The Commons Building is located at 90 Main Street in Narrowsburg and the site also has some lovely commercial shops to explore.  The Delaware Arts Alliance is located at 37 Main Street and features very nicely curated art exhibits by local artists.
