Happy New Year!  Well, I suppose you think I need to move on with things, that New Year’s was a few weeks past.  Instead I’m choosing to be positive, each day is a new day, put them all together and it’s a new year!  That’s how it goes in a “Happie” place.

That’s right the James Manning House is a Happie place.  We are proud to say that in December we were honored with Happenings Magazine’s Happie Award for Best Bed and Breakfast.   Winners are chosen by satisfied customers who vote for businesses that make them most “Happie.” Each year Happenings invites readers to vote online for the businesses that make them the happiest.  There is always an enthusiastic response from readers, throughout ten counties in Northeast PA, they want their voices to be heard.  “They’re looking for businesses that make them happy. And, when they find them, they want their friends and neighbors to know who these “best of breed” businesses are,” says Happenings publisher Paula Mackarey.

Founded in 1969, Happenings Magazine reaches more than 110,000 readers across Northeast PA every month. The hard-copy version is distributed free at hundreds of locations throughout the region, and www.HappeningsPA.com is viewed by thousands of visitors weekly.   Happenings covers events, lifestyles, people and businesses and has become a well-known forum for telling the region’s story in the most positive way.

We want to take this opportunity to thank all our guests, friends and voters for their support.  We are pleased and grateful to be honored and recognized.  It is our goal and pleasure to make our guests and their visit with us a “Happie” event!
