Anyone know if the Walmart/Aldi/Shoprite in Mt Pocono have a decent selection of kosher bread (hot dog/hamburger buns, rolls, rye bread, etc.)?

Anybody know of any later Minyanim near Schnecksville other than Sons of Israel in Allentown?

Any recommended places to go near by?

There is a (Chabad) Minyan at Eagle Village Resort in Tamiment this Shabbos (and throughout the week).

We are one short for a minyan at exploria resort (the old fernwood) this Shabbos Chanukah. If you are willing to take the 90 minute timeshare tour its pretty cheap. pm if you have any interest we have a Torah.

Ari Dicker usually puts together a deal, but he didn't post it yet.

I made a website bc it's gotten too big to answer everyone's questions. Yeshivamidwinter.com I have groups going to Kalahari and Camelback. Both insane deals
(Before the admins kill me for posting a website, I do not buy up rooms and sell for profit. If you book before the deadline, the rooms are not marked up a penny. I make a few bucks but it's still more of a public service than a money maker)
Where does he post?

And you also usually make an arrangement for shabbos in the Poconos, no? Very affordable.

I made a group rate to Mount Laurel for 2 years. It was perfect. They got bought and had new management this past year. Last years stay for midwinter was an absolute disaster. No room service. Dirty rooms/bed sheets on arrival, NO HEAT in many rooms, leaks in ceiling. Garbage in the can from previous guests. Nothing set up in dining rooms. Ice cold pool. I will not be bringing any groups there in the near future unless there is a change in ownership/management and they get their act together. In the mean time, I cant find a shabbos-friendly, good situation like that in the Poconos at an affordable rate.
I might end up renting a house in a rental are of Lake Harmony and have some families stay nearby for minyan. If I come up with something, i'll post on my chats and here.
