☕️ THIS WEEK: County Classics To Beat The Heat

+ 25 other events, adorable adoptables, and a fun test of your ChesCo knowledge

Good Morning Chester County,

Well, I asked for less rain and we’re getting a heat wave.

If I knew I had this sort of power I’d be playing the lottery more often.

With “feels like” temps reaching as high as 105*+, it’s going to get HOT out there. If you know anyone who doesn’t have AC, especially if they’re elderly…do me a favor and check in on them this week to make sure they’re staying cool.

Oh… what did you think of the AI roasts from last week?

I know from replies that some of us might have found them quite spot on. All in good fun, life’s too short to take it all serious 😁.

This is what we’ve got on tap:

  • Goshen Country Fair is back for it’s 76th year!

  • An adoptable duo and a sweet senior are looking for forever homes

  • +28 other happenings throughout the county this week

The Blend

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

♥️ Adoptable Pets of the Week

🐶 Meet Killian

When he first arrived at All 4 Paws, Killian was skin and bones. The years of neglect, sadly, were evident. But now? This 8-year-young fella is healthier than ever. His foster family says he’s a sucker for a good walk & sniff, stuffed kongs, and puzzles. He’ll gladly settle in next to you and cuddle up. It’s clear that Killian is just happy to be in a home where he’s loved. Think you could give him his forever home?

🐱 Meet Gwen & Tormund (Bonded Pair)

Adopted as kittens, Gwen & Tormund found themselves back in a shelter after being surrendered by their previous owner. Both have distinct personalities and have so much love to give. You’ll get your quintessential softie in Gwen known to tilt her head back and lay down for belly rubs. In Tormund you’ll get a social, playful and affectionate gentleman. They must be adopted together…so you know what to do, give them the home (& love) they deserve…click below

🧩 ChesCo Games

Hint: This ChesCo landmark was home to the 19th century ironmasters in Coatesville
