Holiday Parade to be held December 5th

On Friday, December 5th, in conjunction with December's First Friday's festivities, the Phoenixville Kiwanis will once again be hosting the annual Holiday Parade. From today's Phoenix: --- Seven area fire companies will again be appearing in the parade, along with their lavishly decorated trucks, as well as holiday favorites like Santa Claus and more than 20 popular characters from beloved children's stories will be on hand to entertain kids and adults. ...

Two trucks from each company will be allowed in the parade, and Mitchell said that, as in previous years, there will be a cash prize and other honors for the winning fire company. Last ye

Vote!

On the eve of the elections, I wanted to provide some general information to make it easier for everyone to get out and vote! First and foremost, where to vote. Pennsylvania has, in my opinion, done a nice job with their site in providing information on where and how to vote. To find you polling location, fill out the form on this site . Chester County will be using two types of voting machines. You can view a demonstration of each here . Finally, for those undecideds out there, the League of Women Voters has put together a comprehensive site breaking down each of the races in Chester County . Polls are open from 7am-8pm. Make your voice heard!
