First day of Spring

Well, it feels like the weather allowed Spring to peak out from the clouds a little earlier this year, but today marks the official first day of Spring 2008, March 20.
What better way to celebrate the occasion by getting free Rita's Italian water ice in Boyertown or visit your favorite park.
Fortunately, today was nothing like yesterday.
This reporter was outside in the chilly rain weather trying to get inside the filled Hotel Bethlehem to see former President Clinton speak to the masses about his wife Hillary's bid to win the democratic nomination for presidency.
When I finally got in, however, Bill was late by an hour!
Not that bad when you've got crowds of people around you, but we members of the media were roped off by bicycle barricades and not allowed to leave the area until Clinton had left the floor!
and fellow journalists can get boring!
No, I'm just kidding of course.
Look for the story on my trip to the Hotel Bethlehem for the Saucon News paper on the berksmontnews.com Web site under breaking news, or in the upcoming issue of the paper.
