The Saucon Valley Conservancy will host its 19th annual Holiday Gathering on Monday, Dec. 5, 2011 from 6pm to 9pm at , 1890-92 Friedensville Road, Lower Saucon Township. This event will also feature a Meet the Artists' reception for the Heller Homestead gallery's current featured exhibitors, the Bethlehem Palette Club's Plein Air Group, whose paintings are on display through Dec. 18 (the gallery is open Saturdays and Sundays from 1pm to 4pm).
