A piece of local romantic history—an iconic heart-shaped tub from the Poconos, which has long been referred to as the Honeymoon Capital of the World—is up for raffle at Monroe County Habitat for Humanity.
The organization’s goal of providing secure, affordable, and fair housing throughout Monroe County is being supported by the raffle tickets it is selling.
You can buy tickets online or in person at the Monroe County Habitat for Humanity ReStore. Tickets can be purchased for $5 for a single ticket, $10 for three tickets, or $20 for ten.
On Monday, September 1, Labor Day, at noon, a Facebook Live drawing will be held to choose the winner. Tickets for the event are available for purchase until noon on August 29.
Once a popular attraction for honeymooning couples visiting the region’s resorts, the heart-shaped tub is an important part of Pocono regional culture and tourism history.
