Celebrations Gallery & Shoppes Named a 2008 Editors’ Choice by Yankee Magazine
Pomfret, CT (May 9, 2008)—Celebrations Gallery & Shoppes has been recognized as a 2008 Editors’ Choice in Yankee Magazine’s Travel Guide to New England. The Editors’ Choice recommendation designates Yankee editors’ and writers’ favorite restaurants, lodgings, and attractions across New England, with information resources divided by state and region.
“Yankee’s editors and our trusted legion of travel writers select our Editors’ Choice winners,” says Yankee editor Mel Allen. “From their own experiences and tips from our readers, they research and find the most deserving establishments in New England. Recipients range from the rustic to the refined, but all are noteworthy and memorable destinations.” Celebrations was described by Yankee editors as "A cheery 1885 Queen Anne Victorian . . . where you'll find a mélange of gift items, jewelry, works by local artisans, bath and beauty products, and sweets. Don't miss the art exhibitions, each lasting six weeks, with free lectures and demonstrations by the featured artists."
For more than 30 years, Yankee Magazine's Travel Guide to New England has been the most widely distributed and best-selling guide in the six-state region, providing readers with a comprehensive vacation planning tool and daily reference. The 2008 Guide is on sale now through the end of the August.
