Pennsylvania resort's nude beer festival getting worldwide attention

STROUDSBURG, Pa. — A Pennsylvania nudist resort is used to exposure, but not quite as much as they’ve had recently.

The staff at Sunny Resort in the Poconos has been getting worldwide attention for hosting its annual nude beer festival.

The event will include a performance from former American Idol contestant Hunter Monroe.

The owners of the resort said being nude gives people a sense of freedom.

National media outlets are buzzing about the festival scheduled for Saturday.

“We heard that people in Australia heard about this, so it’s kind of worldwide. We don’t even know where all the people are going to be coming from,” resort co-owner Myra Mesher said.

The owners have emphasized that the event is not meant to be sexual at all. The staff said all are welcome to bare it all and have some beer.
