Weather Is King

Today we talk a little about the weather.

Are you ready?

Here it comes.

This is when we talk about the weather.

Drum roll, please.


It snowed.


Ta-da!

And we were out in that crap last night.

It's not as much fun as we remember it being when we
were just little, scabbed-knee Newkers.

The only good thing about this weather, is that it's sled riding
season.

And there are many a good slope in the Newk to be slid upon.

Where are some of your favorites?

And since the weather is king today, we need a queen.

Today's queen is Chelsea, from Chelsea Bakes!

Not only is it her birthday.
(Happy birthday, Chels.)

It's the start of her final push for baked holiday delights.

You can actually get orders in up until, and including, this Friday!

Check out her awesome cookie trays, and other treats here.

She also has a new number...

724.63.TREAT



Mention theNewk when you order, and get a "sweet" coupon
good on your next order.

And don't forget to wish her a happy birthday.

Parade Pictures (Day 4, 2010)

Before we show you another batch of amazing pictures,
we have a few people we need to thank.

1. David "DC" Cooper
www.davidcooperphoto.com

He came out in the cold, and took some of the greatest pictures
ever shot at the New Kensington Christmas Parade.

He is our main man.


2. Gatto's Cycle Shop
gattocycle.com

George hooked us up with a couple golf carts that we cruised
that morning.

He also provided the trailer that our friends in girl scout
troop 20134 used for their Hawaiian Christmas float.

Thanks Gatto's!


3. Steve
(website has yet to have been published)

Steve picked up our golf carts, and is the unsung hero
of the day.

You rock, Steve.


4. Our Elf, and the elf's helpers.
(website has yet to have been published)

We couldn't have done anything without you all.

Party on.




Here are more pictures...

Parade Pictures (Day 1, 2010)

Our main man David Cooper met up with us this
past Saturday to take some pictures of the New Ken
Parade.

As if you didn't already know...

David Cooper is a beast.

His pictures make our business go from 6 to midnight.

His website is:
www.davidcooperphoto.com

Go look at it, and be impressed.

If you need pictures, please call him.

Anyways...







Don't worry, folks.

There are a lot more to come.

This is just a little sample of his work.

A little 'nibbler,' if you will.



Have a great Tuesday, Newkers.

Aka: "The Christmas Cuke"

Getting Ready

The parade is tomorrow.

We have lots of stuff to prepare.

We are also drinking wine from the Giant Eagle vino kiosk.

What does all of this mean?

It means this is the end of today's post.

See you tomorrow morning.

(Be sure to wave at us, and scream out "we love thenewk!")

Even More To Do

Yesterday, we told you about the New Kensington
Christmas Parade coming up this Saturday.

We, as we usually are, were out of touch with everything
that was going on.

So today, with complete humility, we will fill you in
on some other events we should have mentioned.

This Friday (tomorrow), there will be a ceremonial lighting
of the city's Christmas tree at Central City Plaza.
That's at 5pm.

They will then head down the block to the #1 fire hall on
Fourth Ave., where a holiday dinner will be served.
That's at 5:30pm to 8pm.

So, "big ups" to Mayor Guzzo and all the other volunteers
that plan on cooking this generous meal.

We wish them the best of luck.


(We're not sure it will look exactly like this. But if it does,
we're very mad we didn't go.)

The Best Time Of Year

So yesterday, we posted the video we made from
last years New Kensington Christmas Parade.

It was a teaser for today's post.

Can you guess what it is???


Yep, that's it...

This Saturday is this year's parade!

And guess who we're bringing back.

The North Pole's Biggest Elf!!!

These really are exciting times.


Here are the parade particulars...
