Canal Day is a lot of fun. You can sit back and enjoy music along the Schuylkill River and Canal. Watch or be apart of the running and canoe races or just try out some kayaks on the river. There will be 4 opening of Lock 60. Food and kids games will also be available. I have been enjoying Canal Day for the last 10 year and always enjoy this event.

Several Local Businesses Closing Up Shop

"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.
