Good Morning Chester County,

I hope you’ve got something fun/special planned to celebrate or remember the mom in your life this week(end).

If you are the Mom being celebrated, then let me give a resounding thank you for all you do.

If you’re reading this and you just found out it’s Mother’s Day this weekend…put this down and get some plans together to celebrate your Mom!

Mom, if you happen to be reading this week: Thank you for all of the lessons, love, & patience you’ve given to me for the last 30+ years. Your sacrifices have never gone unnoticed, I love you more than words could ever express.

To the mom I gained last year when my wife and I got married: Thank you for making me feel like a part of your family since we met, and always being willing to share a quick laugh at everything that goes on around us. I love you!

Even though it’s Mother’s Day this weekend, do me a favor: If you’re still able to call your Mom, go ahead and do it after reading this.

Alright, alright clearly I’m a momma’s boy…sue me.

Let’s get to it…

This is what we’ve got on tap:

• CORRECTION: Proper Link For Wine & Ale Trail

• Adopt a pet, gain a new best friend

• Mother’s Day celebrations galore

• & 30+ other events that will make your family think you know everything going on in ChesCo

The Blend

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

You ever hit send on an email, and then immediately realize you messed up?

Well, that was me last week after sending 10,716 of you the wrong link for the Chester County Hospital Crush Cancer 2025 Wine & Ale Trail (our featured event for the month - check out info below) 🤦‍♂️.

Sadly, there’s no way to correct a link in an email once it’s sent. So this week, we double-triple check our work!

Thank you to the many readers who let me know right away.

So, clicking the button below, and in our featured events section, you will find a working link to purchase the 2025 Wine & Ale Trail Passport benefitting ChesCo Hospital.

Your $50 donation gets you access to 30+ free drinks from some of Chester County’s BEST bars, breweries, wineries, and restaurants.

The money raised directly benefits the Chester County Hospital. Do the right thing & get some drinks to celebrate.

🐶 Meet Blaze

Last week we Blaze’s story on Instagram last week, I knew we had to feature him. After his owner suddenly passed away, this gentle soul was rescued from Mississippi. Sadly, after coming into the care of this rescue it became clear that Blaze’s health was severely neglected. Since that time he has been diagnosed with epilepsy and chronic dry eye. He has medication to help with both, but is in need of a patient family that is willing to care for Blaze the way he deserves.

If you are ready to meet your new best friend, and help Blaze live out his days surrounded by love & care, click the button below.

🐱 Meet Anita Mop

I’m on a roll the last two weeks finding the adoptable cats with the most unique names.

Here’s what you need to know: you’ll “Anita” make more room in your heart for this feline sweetie. Whether you keep the name or find a suitable replacement is up to you. One thing you won’t be able to change is you’ll now have a loving new member of your family.

(Come to ChesCo Buzz for the events, stay for the mediocre jokes!)
