Good Morning Chester County,

We’re off and running into the new year, and I hope that you’re making the most of this first week of 2026.

As I mentioned last week, with so much to do around the holidays, expect a bit of a “lull” from the parade of big events as our local businesses and towns take a short break to recover.

Don’t worry, still plenty to do around the county, scroll down and you’ll see.

This is what we’ve got on tap:

• What resolutions are you making?

• New Year, New pets to adopt from the county

• Disco night you won’t want to miss

• 25+ other great events to keep you busy in the new year

The Blend

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

🗓️ 2026 Is Your Year To…

Everyone has their opinions about goal setting and new years resolutions.

I’m sure I’m not the only one who has failed on a resolution or two, we’re all human.

But sometimes all it takes is a little encouragement to get the ball rolling.

My resolution is related to my health & overall wellness.

What’s yours?

♥️ Local Adoptable Pets of the Week

🐶 Meet Solo

This sweet girl is hoping you’ll help change her status from solo —> taken. She’s got a smile that just radiates sweetness from every photo you’ll see. Great with people of all ages, dog/cat friendly, and up for any adventure. One of the things you’ll enjoy most about bringing Solo home is that she’ll match any vibe. Ready to get the zoomies going, then wind down into some cuddling on the couch? Solo will be right there with you. All you’ve got to do is bring her home.

🐱 Meet Mongo

Mongo’s not asking for much you see. He’s a sensible older fella who knows you’re looking for a friendly and low-key companion. He’s spent more than his fair share of time at the shelter waiting for you. Let’s do him the favor and not make him wait any longer. Bring this senior cat home and have your new best friend home.

The Featured Pour

A closer look at the standout event happening this week

This week’s featured event is the Colonial 54: An Immersive Disco Experience

When: Friday, 1/192026 - Starting at 9 PM

Where: White Rabbit Theatre @ Colonial Theatre - 227 Bridge Street. Phoenixville, PA 19460

What to expect: The Colonial Theatre knows how to throw a party, let me tell you that much.

Having taken us back to Gatsby-era speakeasy parties, it’s time to flash forward to another iconic era of American culture: 70s disco. Get your favorite platform shoes, make sure those flared pants still fit, and find your shimmering shirt you refused to throw out for years…now’s your time to SHINE 🪩

Expect great vibes, funky music, and non-stop dancing as you and some new friends push the building’s capacity to it’s limits.

Whether you’re going for your best Travolta 🕺 or want to be the next incarnation of Donna Summer, the night is yours.

What’s Brewing

Upcoming events you won’t want to miss this week.

_{If you see “$” in the event description, that means it is a paid event. Events with no “$” are free to attend!}

We’re just 6 days into the New Year.

No better way to start things off than getting out and trying something new.

Go out and make the most of it.

With Gratitude,
