Iron Town Productions, The Rivers Rockabilly Trio put on the favorite ball of the year, Blob Ball! The 3rd Annual Blob Ball will be held at Club 212 right around the time of the "running out" reenactment at the Colonial Theatre. Blob Ball will feature The Rivers Rockabilly Trio playing all the hits from the 1950s, dancing (swing), and contests. Participants can win prizes for Best 50s Dress (male & female), Best 50s Celebrity Impersonator, Best 50s Scary Movie Character, and Best Dancers. Last year this event sold out and we had to turn over 70 people away. This year we have much more space, but are expecting hundreds of people.

Tickets are $10 adv. and $12 at the door (if not sold out).

We have special VIP tickets for $15. VIP tickets get premiere seating (leather couches, love seats and coffee tables) window access for viewing the "running out" reenactment and waitress service. VIP seating will be right next to the dance floor and band.

Public meeting to discuss future of Melchiorre Park scheduled for Nov. 29th

On Thursday, November 29th, the Borough is holding a 'brainstorming session' in which plans for Melchiorre Park will be discussed with its park planning consultants. The event will be held at the High School and will begin 7pm. For those of you who do not know about Melchiorre Park (of which I am included, even though I apparently live across the street from it), it is a 23 acre park located south of High Street on the land between it and French Creek. It appears, based on the drawing on the Borough home page , to be the land that is next to Westridge Village and across the street from the new Northridge Village community. As part of the meeting, the consultants will 'provide a brief background of the project and present a pre-final master plan for the park'. Source: Phoenixville Borough Website

Local Baker Wins on Netflix Sugar Rush

Peri Anderson, owner of Brooklyn Girl Bakery , was part of a team that won the most recent episode of Sugar Rush on Netflix. I reached out to Peri to learn a little more about her bakery: I started out taking a recreational cake decorating class with my mom when I was still living in NY. I loved it and moved to PA to be with my boyfriend (now husband), where I began interning for a bakery in Chestnut Hill. Over the course of 7 years I worked my way up from intern to pastry chef until I decided to leave in 2012. I do all of my baking in our home kitchen which is licensed and insured by the Dept. of Agriculture. Initially, I wanted to focus on wedding cakes so I immediately started contacting wedding venues in the area to see if they would include me a wedding cake vendor in their packages. I currently work with over 10 venues and several caterers in the area. While wedding cakes are my main focus, I also make cakes and cookie favors for all occasions. While I don’t have a retail loca
