The historic Fallon Hotel in downtown Lock Haven is ready to usher in a new chapter with the unveiling of “Oasis,” an outdoor space that promises to combine nostalgia with modern enjoyment. The excitement is palpable as both longtime locals and new patrons eagerly anticipate this much-needed addition to a beloved landmark.
Careful Planning and Vision
Owner Carey Chisolm has been meticulously transforming a section of the Est. 1856 dining space into an inviting outdoor area. Speaking with passion and pride, Chisolm emphasized the importance of creating a corner of tranquility amid the hustle and bustle. The Oasis not only expands the seating capacity with cozy booths but introduces a lively deck space complete with benches, a small bar, and ramps for accessibility.
A Haven for Outdoor Enthusiasts
Oasis is designed as a place to break from convention — an environment where memories are meant to be made. With fun activities like beer pong and miniature cornhole, complemented by music from newly installed subwoofers, guests can immerse themselves in leisure like never before. According to lockhaven.com, this initiative answers a call from the community for quieter yet entertaining alternatives to the hotel’s bustling bar scene.
A Spectacular Fourth of July Celebration
In true celebratory style, The Fallon is hosting two special parties on Friday, July 4. The midday festivities, running from 12 to 5 p.m., feature a delicious barbeque by Renee’s Kitchen, refreshing drink specials, and music by DJ Spt5. Attendees can look forward to a car show, wrapping up a day packed with fun and family-friendly activities.
The evening will light up with a rave and foam party, from 8 p.m. till the early hours, powered by DJ Big A. This dual-event format ensures everyone has the chance to experience the joy of gathering outdoors—young and older, locals and visitors alike.
Testament to Community Spirit
Bringing Oasis to life required the support and effort of many. Chisolm expressed heartfelt gratitude to the Fallon Hotel Est. 1856 community and collaborators like Diana DeVaughn, Steve Poorman, and Thomas Keefer, whose skills and generosity have been instrumental.
A Promising Future
Chisolm’s vision does not end with this opening. He pictures Oasis as a stepping stone for further expansion, inching closer to fulfilling his and his wife’s dreams for their cherished hotel. For now, they celebrate a massive milestone achieved through teamwork, dedication, and a shared love for Lock Haven’s history.
