☕️ THIS WEEK: Santa Sightings, Comedy Shows, and Good Times

plus 30+ great events happening all over the county

Good Morning Chester County,

Happy Hanukkah to all of the families celebrating 🕎.

I hope everyone has begun to thaw out after the last few days of freezing temps.

We’ll have a brief reprieve, so enjoy it while it lasts.

This is your friendly reminder to turn off your water shutoffs to any exterior water lines and put your faucet covers on any spigots outside.

Nothing like a burst pipe to welcome you into winter weather!

Lots of Christmas spirit going around this week, and a special Santa Sighting section for anyone who’s little ones are looking to meet up with Santa to verify their spot on the nice list.

This is what we’ve got on tap:

Adorable adoptable pets who’s only wish is a forever home this Christmas!
Santa sightings across the county
Holiday markets, live music, comedy shows, and 30+ events to check out throughout the county

The Blend

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

♥️ Local Adoptable Pets of the Week

🐶 Meet Nutmeg

Nutmeg is the perfect spice your family needs this holiday season. Found matted and emaciated as a stray in Philly, he’s clearly lived a hard life up to this point. Having seen the deplorable ways that animals can be treated, he’s hoping to learn all the good we have to offer, too. This special fella can be yours.

🐱 Meet Bingo

You’ll feel like you won the grand prize bringing home Bingo. He was found with a significant injury that he is recovering from at BVSPCA West Chester; however, his sweet and calm personality has already delighted volunteers. Bingo’s your guy if you’re looking for a new friend to help warm up those cold evenings.

This week’s featured event(s) are the Santa Sightings Across the County!

Since Santa is so busy across the county this week, I wanted a quick list you can look at in case any of your kids/grandparents want to get out and see ol’ Saint Nick to check that they’re on the nice list one more time before the big day!
