Phoenixville Jaycees Need Your Help

Fellow blogger Karen Johns (http://www.karenejohns.com) wrote and asked I post an announcement that she has also added to her blog. Its in regard to last week's Dogwood Festival and the damage done to Reeves Park due to the wet weather we experienced all week. From Karen's blog

---
The heavy rains during several days, including last night, left the ground in our area saturated.

The weight of Dogwood Fair rides created multiple problems during the removal of the equipment, and left numerous ruts and damage throughout Reeves Park.

I spoke briefly with Katie Ciruelos, of the Jaycees this morning and she stated the organization will work hard to restore the park.

In other rain-free years in the past, a virtual army of volunteers, Jaycees and others, would gather at one end of the park and walk to the other collecting debris and fixing any problems, leaving the park in pristine condition. The current situation is daunting.

Every year the good people of Jaycees work hard to provide this much enjoyed, week-long entertainment for Phoenixville. The proceeds from the months of work benefit our community in many different areas.

Perhaps this year is the year community volunteers can help our Jaycee organization.

If you have some available time, and the driving spirit to volunteer, please approach any Jaycee and ask what you can do to help.

It's time we help the Jaycees.

Several Local Businesses Closing Up Shop

Over the next couple of months, three local businesses will be closing their doors. On Saturday, February 16th, Polka Dots will be closing their store at 246 Bridge Street. The shop, a women's clothing boutique, opened nearly two and a half years ago but has recently found business slow. --- Originally, (owner Susan) Randels said that the store was doing well, but that the momentum could not keep up. "The things that sold in Paoli didn't sell in Phoenixville," she said, adding that some customers thought that the store was too expensive or the sizing did not go high enough (size 12 being the highest size sold). "We tried everything." Randels also said that parking was an issue for many of her customers who could either not find spaces or did not feel safe parking behind the store. --- Polka Dots remains open until the 16th, with hours on Saturday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Sunday from 12 p.m. to 4 p.m. The phone number is 610-935-5914.
