Weekend fun in spades
Want something to do this weekend? Well, there is plenty locally.
Trappe is holding its Community Day this Saturday. The event had to be rescheduled because of rain, but it looks like the weather will be favorable the second time around.
Fun for all ages is available with clowns, slides, balloons, face painting and more.
Pottstown Municipal Airport is holding its Community Day this Saturday too. Kids and their parents can partake of free airplane rides and watch as parachutists descend on the airfield in a demonstration of skydiving.
Saturday is also National Public Lands Day, which will be commemorated at Hopewell Furnace with the unveiling of the Appalachian Mountain Club's Pennsylvania Highlands recreation map.
Volunteers are invited to assist with clearing and improving the trails and in return will get a pass good at any national park that you have to pay to get into.
Participants will also get a free copy of the recreation map.
The event runs 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. and children who show up can participate in apple picking, which happens September and October at the park. There will also be paddling and self-guided tours.
Sunnybrook Ballroom will be holding a fall festival on its grounds this weekend. There will be more than 40 crafters selling their wares, fun for kids, food for sale and more. The festival will happen this Saturday from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.
Showcasing exhibits and K-12 school programs available from CCHS, special attention will be given to the revised Victorian Life program, new programs for the Quilt and Lincoln exhibits as well as a new fund for admission and busing. Free, for teachers only. Pre-registration required. Act 48 credit provided.
At 7:30 p.m., the band Mason Porter will hold a local concert as part of the Listen Local series.
The series will be highlighting some great performers in the area with Chester County roots!
Free Admission. BYOB for our 21 and over guests.
