Honesdale launches website party

By DONNA LUKIW

HONESDALE, PA — The Himalayan Institute on Main Street celebrated the creation of Honesdale’s website by throwing a party with balloons, free cookies, chai and a brief presentation by Brian Fulp, director of the website, explaining the process and progress of Honesdaleonline.com.

What began as a website for the Himalayan Institute quickly grew into the town’s website, offering Honesdale’s many activities for the local people and tourists.

The calendar of events allows the users to search by either day, week or month for events in the area. There is also a business directory that lets the users find a business by typing in a keyword. The major feature of the website, “Merchants on Main Street,” allows online shopping, permitting the shopper to get their products delivered to their homes.

Some other features include a church directory, health section and movie listings. As a user subscribes, they are automatically entered into a drawing to win a free pizza. In the near future, a walking tour of Honesdale will be available online.

“Everything was made possible through volunteers and donations,” Fulp said.

Anyone can subscribe to the website by going to Honesdaleonline.com.
