Good Morning Chester County,

Time to roll up your sleeves, put on your pants with the elastic waistband, and enjoy a great meal.

Everyone celebrates different - whether it’s a large family gathering, a small group, or a solo adventure - Thanksgiving is a time for reflection and gratitude.

This time last year, I was grateful for the thousand+ of you who were reading. Now, just a year later there’s 12,000+ of us finding the best things to do around the county.

For your support in ChesCo Buzz, I am beyond grateful.

After Thanksgiving this week, don’t forget to go out into the county and shop local on Saturday! Tons of great events going on and ways to support the local businesses that make ChesCo such a great place to live.

This is what we’ve got on tap this week:

• Shop Local on Small Business Saturday

• Local adoptables that would be thankful for your love

• Yeagers Farm is putting on a one-of-a-kind drive-through light show (+discount code for ChesCo Buzz readers)

• & 29 other events across the county you’re sure to enjoy

The Blend

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

📍 Shop Local This Weekend

Small Business Saturday is a yearly initiative to help support the local businesses that help our area thrive.

Across the county there will be various pop ups and events to bring awareness to the day.

Although we’ve all been spoiled by same-day shipping, it really does make a difference when you get out there and spend your money with locally-owned businesses.

Bundle up, get in the car, and check out the many awesome events happening throughout the area this weekend. I guarantee you’ll find something you love.

♥️ Local Adoptable Pets of the Week

🐶 Meet Foxy

Sometimes I swear you can just tell when a dog exudes kindness and warmth through a photo. Foxy here proves that. You’d be hard pressed to find a sweeter face than her’s. By rescuing Foxy you’ll be guaranteed a new best friend who will want nothing more than to just enjoy time with you. You’ll have a lot to be thankful for if you rescue this sweet girl.

🐱 Meet Merlin (& Luna)

You’ll feel spellbound after you meet this handsome senior. Returned after ten years in a home due to a family member’s allergies Merlin and his sister, Luna, are confused why they are back in a shelter. Although they’re having some trouble adjusting they know that you will be there to rescue them soon. These are two sweet felines who know what love is like and they’re ready to feel at home again.

The Featured Pour

A closer look at the standout event happening this week

This week’s featured event is the Holiday Light Show @ Yeager’s Farm

When: Thursday - Sunday, 5:30 - 8 PM, starting 11/28 and ends 12/30

Where: Yeagers Farm, 1015 Pike Springs Road, Phoenixville, PA 19460

What to expect: This past weekend we stopped by Yeagers Farm in Phoenixville to kick off the holiday season, and it turned out to be one of the most charming winter experiences you can do close to home.

The main attraction is their calm, family-friendly light show. It’s a 1.1-mile route spread across 60 acres of displays, and you can enjoy it by hayride or from the comfort of your own car. You set your own pace. Photos never quite capture how big it is, which makes sense once you find out they start setting up in August.

My favorite part was the long line of red and white wrapped trees. It felt like driving straight into Candy Cane Lane.

If you choose to drive through yourself, you can stop for photos, linger at your favorite spots, and really take your time. You can also make a full afternoon out of it by picking out your Christmas tree beforehand and grabbing a photo with Santa. Plan about an hour for the lights, plus a few extra minutes for those photo moments. If you prefer the hayride, bundle up and bring a thermos of hot cocoa or cider, or grab something warm from the farm market.

Yeagers is a family-run farm that has been part of this area for more than 200 years. An evening here feels like a quieter, gentler start to the season. It’s a great fit for families, grandparents, and anyone who wants a peaceful holiday night close to home.

The Team at Yeagers gave our readers a 10% discount code to the self-guided light show.

Use code “Chescobuzz25” at checkout and get 10% off on the General Admission - Vehicle Passes for the light show.
