Josh has a roundup of the latest news and Saucon Source reporter-producer Jonny Hart has the pleasure of announcing the winners of our 2020 Holiday Lights Contest, Tour & Fundraiser.

Welcome to Ep. 33 of No Rain Date, your weekly podcast featuring local news and interviews. This week our game plan for the podcast changed slightly due to the dose of winter weather our area received, which is why the episode does not include the interview we had planned to record. In lieu of that, we have an expanded news roundup featuring our coverage of the mid-week snowstorm, the first vaccinations against COVID-19 at St. Luke’s University Health Network, the Santa runs local fire companies will be holding and ways in which Lehigh Valley restaurants are adapting–yet again–to restrictions meant to help stop the virus’s spread. That story in particular generated a lot of discussion on our Facebook page, where readers posted nearly 100 comments. Saucon Source reporter-producer Jonny Hart has highlights from the discussion in a special reader reaction segment, in which he provides additional context for the concerns raised.
