Good Morning Chester County,

We hope that your Memorial Day Weekend was spent just the way you like - whether that means down at the beach, relaxing at home, or getting out to your favorite local spots.

Another thank you goes out to the brave men and women who have served that protect and defend our freedom.

It feels like just last week I was writing about freezing temps and frigid walks, now looking at the calendar, you mean to tell me May’s almost OVER?!

As we march on towards the Summer months we’re excited to share all of the great happenings around the county. Keep those emails open, we’ve got more good on the horizon!

This is what we’ve got on tap:

• A big thank you for feedback on last week’s poll & I need your advice

• Champagne & Brandy need a home (and we’re not talking about drinks)

• Last week to support ChesCo Hospital w/ ChesCo Wine & Ale Trail - this week only $35!

• +25 other great events going on throughout our county

The Blend

A curated mix of local stories, updates, and announcements from our team.

First, thanks to everyone who responded to the poll from last week. Over 350 of you responded, with about 60% in favor of making the newsletter 2x/week.

We’re not making changes yet, but the feedback that was given gave us some ideas about the best ways to do this. More to come!

Next, this is the last week the ChesCo Coffee Club shirt will be available for purchase. Sales end on Monday, 6/2. Thank you to everyone who’s purchased so far for the support! We’re looking to collaborate with local coffee co.’s on our next designs..keep your eyes out!

If you, or someone you know would like the shirt, link to purchase is below ⬇️

Lastly, one of the perks getting to write this newsletter is making special shout outs when I feel like it. Well, I’ve got a big event coming up that I’d like to take a second to notice. This week, my wife and I will celebrate our 1-year wedding anniversary. I love you, sweetheart. Thank you for the first of many more years together.

Now, with that in mind…it got me thinking…with over 11,500 people reading this newsletter…I bet we’ve got some real marriage experts here. So, I want to hear YOUR best advice for a great marriage. Anything’s welcome…serious, funny, in-between.

Next week, I’ll share some of the best tips we got 😁

🐶 Meet Brandy

Sweet & smooth, just like her namesake. Brandy is affectionate, social, and ready for any adventure whether it’s cuddles on the couch or a fun drive for a hike.

🐱 Meet Champagne

Bright, bubbly, and ready to be yours. Champagne is looking for a home that wants to celebrate every day with her, not just on special occasions.

Hint: This site once briefly served as a hospital during the Revolutionary War

Raise Your Glass & Sip for a Cause This May

The Chester County Hospital Crush Cancer Wine & Ale Trail is back for 2025, and it’s the perfect way to support a great cause while exploring some of the best spots in the area. This year, by donating you will get access to an app which will give you one complimentary beverage at each of the 34 participating wineries, breweries, distilleries, and eateries.

Yes, you heard me right. For donating $35 to help raise vital funds for ChesCo Hospital you get up to 34 complimentary drinks at some of your favorite spots throughout the county.

Every sip helps raise critical funds for Chester County Hospital, with all proceeds benefiting patient care and services.

The app is active for the entire month of May, so take your time, visit as many places as you can, and know that every stop makes a difference.

Whether you’re a craft beer fan, wine lover, or just looking for a fun way to give back, this is a great way to do it.
