Building a Better Boyertown is trying its hand again at a Cruise night. The organization that promotes businesses and economic development downtown is seeking volunteers to help out with the July 18th event, which will run from 4-9 p.m. on Reading Avenue, as well as in the lots of the Boyertown Museum of Historic Vehicles, National Penn Bank and St. John's and Good Shepherd churches.

Volunteers will be needed between 3-9:30 p.m. to cover the large area and help with set up and direction. Volunteers should ask for Heather Oxenford at the BBB. You should let her know if you have any health restrictions before you are assigned a post.

The Glenn Miller Orchestra will once again be bringing its legendary sound to Sunnybrook Ballroom. The only local performance of the orchestra, which hasn't performed locally since the 1950s, the band will arrive on Aug. 1.

Better act fast if you want tickets, though, they are already on sale and available at Sunnybrook's box office. Tickets are $30 in advance, $35 at the door. The show will kick off at 8 p.m.

At Monday night's meeting, the Lower Pottsgrove commissioners OK'd use of land it owns by PennDOT during reconstruction of the East High Street bridge, according to the Sanatoga Post. They had already received $500 from PennDOT for use of the land last month, the Post reported.

The board also said it would release money from the county earmarked for Sunnybrook Ballroom improvements next month.
