Highlights holiday party

HONESDALE, PA – Highlights for Children is all about doing good things for children.

The award-winning children’s magazine holds a Christmas party for local children on the first weekend in December.

Children and their parents flocked to the old mansion on Church and Eighth Streets last weekend and were entertained by a clown, a local puppeteer, a storyteller, face-painters, balloon twisters, a number of local musicians and a scrumptious array of good things to eat.

“This is our 17th year for holding this party,” said Christine Clarks, editor-in-chief. “Children are very important to us and we like to do good things for them.”

The company just began a new magazine called Highlights High Five that is being sent to Korea and Thailand, published in both the native language and English.
