This week is always a solemn one as we remember all those lost on September 11, 2001. With that in mind, we hope you embrace some of the memorials happening this week and take advantage of the really great community events Chester County has to offer this week like the fan-favorite Restaurant Festival, Atglen Community Day, the Chester County Library Food Truck Festival, and a craft show in Downingtown!
WE ARE LISTENING, thank you for your feedback. Instead of beginning each What’s Happening Blog on a Sunday, we will be featuring Sunday as our last day of the week so you have a full week to plan your entire weekend! This week only, we will feature two Sundays and begin the new format the following week. We also added a new text color for community days!
